  • Patent number: 11921884
    Abstract: Described herein are a system and techniques for enabling user control over usage of their information by data consumers, even when untrusted parties are involved, while also preventing collusion between the untrusted party and a data consumer. A user's information may be collected by a client device and provided to a host server. An encrypted version of the user's information may be stored at the host server so that it is processed on a private enclave of the host server. When the data is to be provided to multiple data consumers, the data may be encrypted for each of the data consumers and may be released to each of those data consumers simultaneously once confirmation has been received that the data has been made available to each of the data consumers.

The method includes receiving a first computation input and a first portion of a one-time key from a first computer device, and receiving a second computation input and a second portion of the one-time key from a second computer device. The method also includes generating the one-time key based on the first and second portion of the one-time key, and executing a computation based on the first and second computation input. The method further includes generating an encrypted output by encrypting the computation with the one-time key, and communicating the encrypted output to the first computer device. The method further includes receiving a proof of publication from the first computer device and, in response to receiving the proof of publication, communicating the one-time key to the first computer device.

  • Publication number: 20230410108
    Abstract: A smart device is provided between a transaction terminal (e.g. an access device, a point of sale terminal) and a payment card to facilitate a secure transaction. The smart device receives transaction details from the transaction terminal. The transaction terminal suspends the transaction. The smart device is brought in communication with a payment device in control of the user (e.g. the user of the payment device does not hand over the payment device to a merchant, clerk, waitstaff). The smart device receives a cryptogram identifying an account from the payment device and transmits the cryptogram to the transaction terminal. The transaction terminal resumes the transaction, generates a transaction authorization request message including the cryptogram, and transmits the transaction authorization request message to an issuer of the account. The transaction terminal receives an authorization response message from the issuer, and notifies the smart device of the transaction being approved or declined.

  • Patent number: 11729231
    Abstract: Methods and systems for secure multi-party generation of random bits are disclosed. These random bits can be generated securely, even if some parties (i.e., less than a corruption threshold) are dishonest or malicious. Methods and systems can use secure environments in order to securely generate and store cryptographic keys. Using broadcast protocols such as Dolev-Strong, a generator computer can distribute a public protocol instance key to other participant computers. Each participant computer can generate a random bit and encrypted the random bit with the public protocol instance key, and broadcast its encrypted random bit to the other participant computers. Once each participant computer has received the encrypted random bits from all other participant computers, the private protocol instance key can be released to the participant computers, enabling the participant computers to decrypt the encrypted random bits, and calculate an output random bit based on the encrypted random bits.

  • Patent number: 11716200
    Abstract: The system and methods described herein may be utilized to perform operations in a faster and less complex manner than provided by conventional systems. An encrypted record may be stored at a user device. The encrypted record may include entries related to operations that were previously requested by the user device. The encrypted record may have been encrypted using a dynamic value and a key that is associated with an entity associated with the user. A recipient computer of a request by the user device may be configured to utilize the dynamic value provided in the request and the key associated with the entity to derive the encryption key(s) last used to encrypt the record. The recipient computer may decrypt and modify the decrypted record to perform the requested operation while the user device is precluded from doing so.

  • Publication number: 20230206217
    Abstract: A user can associate a digital asset corresponding to a value with a transaction device to be used by another user. For example, a first user can load a digital asset corresponding to a cryptocurrency amount onto a transaction device, where the first user then provides the transaction device to a second user. The second user can utilize the cryptocurrency amount on the transaction device to conduct a transaction. The generation and use of digital assets can be managed using ledgers that store data in the form of block chains.
