Abstract: An electronic door lock includes an electromechanical locking mechanism, computer hardware configured for selectively moving the electromechanical locking mechanism between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration, and one or more networking components that are configured for facilitating communication between the computer hardware and one or more computer networks that are external to the electronic door lock. The electronic door lock maybe configured for receiving an access code from a user, analyzing the access code to determine whether the access code is a first particular code or a second particular code, in response to determining that the access code is the first particular code, causing the electromechanical locking mechanism to disengage a lock component configured to prevent a door from opening, and in response to determining that the access code is the second particular code, initiating a transmission of an emergency signal via the one or more networking components.

Abstract: An electronic door lock includes a housing having a keypad window, a keypad inserted into the keypad window and having a plurality of depressible buttons, and a bezel surrounding the keypad and having a spar, the spar lying between the buttons and providing support to the plurality of depressible buttons in a direction substantially perpendicular to a press direction. The electronic door lock may also have a circuit board which detects button depressions. The housing may be constructed with a single cut designed to enclose multiple buttons, reducing manufacturing costs. The keypad may have a flexible support webbing with chambers corresponding to the buttons. Certain chambers may be connected, allowing a single LED to illuminate multiple buttons, further reducing manufacturing cost.

Abstract: The present invention provides a simple and efficient cipher and key generation and selection capability from a predetermined, randomly changing, fixed size matrix (N) of ciphers and keys resulting in a very high-order approximation (Nr,c??) of a true One Time Pad for encryption solutions such as the CipherLoc Polymorphic Key Progression Algorithmic Cipher Engine. The ciphers are randomly selected from a pool of user supplied ciphers, FIPS 140-2 or other certified ciphers and the keys are produced from various methods for generating a key that includes reading a data stream from a network or a Cryptographic Pseudo Random Number Generator (CPRNG)/Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) or a Predetermined Cryptographic Key Generator (PCKG) or any combination of all. Ciphers and generated keys are randomly paired and stored in a volatile matrix for use by an encryption solution.
