  • Patent number: 11924178
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and a method for information distribution. The system comprises: a server for generating a group key and its corresponding key deriving parameter, wherein the server encrypts sensitive contents by using the group key to obtain encrypted information; and terminals configured to receive the encrypted information through an open channel, extract the group key, then decrypt the encrypted information by using the group key to obtain the original content. In the group forming process, each terminal encrypts its private identifier using the public key and submits the ciphertext to the server. In information distribution process, the server transmits the ciphertext of sensitive contents and the key deriving parameter to the terminals via open channel Because private information available only to respective group members is required for calculating the group key, this mechanism ensures that the sensitive content can be transmitted securely on the open channel.

  • Publication number: 20240048375
    Abstract: Distributed storage system and method for transmitting storage-related messages between host computers in a distributed storage system uses a handshake operation of a first-type communication connection between a source data transport daemon of a source host computer and a target data transport daemon of a target host computer to derive a symmetric key at each of the source and target data transport daemons. The two symmetric keys are sent to a source data transport manager of the source host computer and to a target data transport manager of the target host computer. The source and target data transport managers then use the same symmetric keys to encrypt and decrypt storage-related messages that are transmitted from the source data transport manager to the target data transport manager through multiple second-type communication connections between the source and target data transport managers.
