  • Publication number: 20220353252
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to efficient methods for authenticated communication. In one embodiment, a first computing device can generate a key pair comprising a public key and a private key. The first computing device can generate a first shared secret using the private key and a static second device public key. The first computing device can encrypt request data using the first shared secret to obtain encrypted request data. The first computing device can send a request message including the encrypted request data and the public key to a server computer. Upon receiving a response message from the server computer, the first computing device can determine a second shared secret using the private key and the blinded static second device public key. The first computing device can then decrypt the encrypted response data from the response message to obtain response data.

  • Patent number: 11240231
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for client and/or server authentication are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes sending information from a mobile network device to a server, wherein the information comprises a seed that is used by both the mobile network device and the server to compute a series of one time passwords. The method also includes receiving, by the mobile network device, a succession of one time passwords generated by the server throughout a session. And the method further includes comparing the received one time passwords generated by the server throughout the session to corresponding one time passwords generated at the mobile network device. In this manner, the server can be authenticated. In various embodiments, the process may be reversed to facilitate client, e.g., mobile network device, authentication.
