Patent number: 11683160Abstract: Secure data transfers between communication nodes is performed using a group encryption key supplied by a remote management system. A first node transmits a request for secure communications with a second node to the remote management system using a control channel. The remote management system generates and encrypts a group encryption key usable by the first and second nodes and forwards the encrypted group encryption key to the first and second nodes using one or more control channels. The first and second communication nodes decrypt the group encryption key and use it to encrypt data transmitted between the nodes using a data transport network. In some implementations the securely communicating nodes may use encryption keys and/or techniques that prevent the remote management system from eavesdropping on the nodes' communications.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Orion Labs, Inc.Inventors: Greg Albrecht, Andy Isaacson, Nelson Carpentier, Dan Phung, Schuyler Erle

Publication number: 20210119980Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods and devices for securing communication resources of group communication devices. Secure resources of a group communication computing device may be maintained in a secure operating environment of the group communication computing device, which is separate from a normal operating environment of the group communication computing device, via a trust partition comprising one or both of an SoC trust partition and a hypervisor. The secure operating environment may comprise input resources including a microphone, a camera, audio encoding and decoding engines, audio encryption and decryption engines, and a secure operating system. The normal operating environment may comprise resources including LTE and WiFi communication resources, transport layer security layer resources, and an operating system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2020Publication date: April 22, 2021Inventors: Andrew Isaacson, Dan Phung, Schuyler Erle, Neil Girling, Jesse Robbins

Patent number: 10733403Abstract: Systems, methods, software and apparatus enable linking of a wearable end user communication device (EUD) to an intermediate communication device (ICD) utilizing optical symbol sequence matching. Optical symbol reference data corresponding to an optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD is obtained from the EUD by the ICD. Optical symbol input data is also acquired by the ICD (e.g., via user inputs, EUD device proximity data, image acquisition). The devices are linked if the optical symbol reference data and optical symbol input data match. The optical symbol reference data can be displayed, allowing user confirmation of a match with the optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD. An ICD user interface touchscreen can present users with selectable color inputs to replicate the optical symbol sequence displayed on the EUD, for example using an LED array. Communications between the devices before and after linking can utilize Bluetooth low energy.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Orion Labs, Inc.Inventors: Greg Albrecht, Ellen Juhlin, Dan Phung, Schuyler Erle
