Roberto Valerio Sannino has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8223970
    Abstract: A method for decrypting the encrypted messages sent by a transmission device to a first electronic device associated with a first trusted authority and to a second electronic device (ME). In one embodiment, first and second tokens are generated and exchanged, respectively, by the first and second electronic devices, which then generate a joint decryption key in order to decrypt the encrypted message.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7716483
    Abstract: A method establishes a communication between a first electronic device associated with a first trusted authority and a second electronic device. The method includes: making a first key available to the first device for the communication between the first authority and the first device. A second trusted authority, associated with the second device and distinct and autonomous with respect to the first authority, generates a second key in order to communicate with the second device. Furthermore, the method includes: making the second key available to the second device; and providing the first and second devices with a communication key, to be used communication between the first and second devices, through at least one of the first and second authorities.

  • Patent number: 7620186
    Abstract: A method of establishing an encrypted communication by using keys between a first electronic device associated with a first trusted authority and a second electronic device, including generating a first secret key associated with the first device for the management of the communication, generating, at least in part by the first authority, a second secret key associated with the second device for the management of the communication. The method includes generating the first key at least in part by a second trusted authority associated with the second device that is distinct and autonomous from the first authority. Alternatively, the generation of the first key is performed, at least in part, by the second device passing through the second trusted authority.
