  • Publication number: 20250240498
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an advertisement exchange requesting a rewarded video advertisement from an external server, tokenizing the advertisement exchange based on coding schemes, unwrapping wrappers associated with the advertisement exchange to fetch an original video media file, generating a re-encoded video media file based on re-encoding the original video media file, wherein generating the re-encoded video media file comprises integrating visual elements into the original video media file, wherein the visual elements are configured for enabling the rewarded video advertisement, generating the rewarded video advertisement based on replacing the original video media file with the re-encoded video media file, and sending the rewarded video advertisement to the external server.

  • Patent number: 8050410
    Abstract: A method and system for providing communication over arbitrary distances with a desired probability of security is disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention shares of a random key are encoded, the random key for effecting communication of a message through a network employing a cryptographically strong forward security system having a limited effective communications distance. A distributed re-randomization of the encoded shares is then effected at a plurality of intermediate network nodes.

  • Publication number: 20080144836
    Abstract: A method and system for providing authentication of mutual strangers is provided. For one embodiment, a plurality of routes from an origination node of a network to a recipient node of the network are determined, a portion of the routes is selected, and shares of a random secret key are generated with each share corresponding to one of the routes. Each share of the random secret key is transmitted via the corresponding route. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, shares of a random key are encoded and the random key is relayed via multiple routes through a network employing a cryptographically strong forward security system. At the destination, shares are recombined to reconstruct the key, and the recipient verifies the integrity of the key with the sender. If the key is intact it is used for authentication or encryption in future communication between the sender and recipient.
