Publication number: 20230388115Abstract: A method for non-custodial backup of a secret (1021) by the owner of said secret, assisted by a multiplicity n of recovery agents, each having individual public keys and private keys, and the owner having a first value (1013), comprising providing the owner with a first computer program, which at rest will reside on a computer readable medium, configured to enroll the secret by computing a public data set (1023), as a function of the owner's first value, each of the n recovery agents' public keys (1011), and a nonce (1015). A method for recovery of the secret (1021) is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: LokBlok, Inc.Inventor: William Reid Carlisle

Patent number: 10447486Abstract: A method by which a hardware security module can attest remotely to its measure of trust as determined by its security certifications and the Level of Assurance it can be relied on to support without the human witnessing elements that are currently used to validate this trust. In a further embodiment the Level of Assurance can be transported to a second hardware security module.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: SPYRUS, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Elvio Turissini, William Reid Carlisle, Burton George Tregub

Patent number: 9521123Abstract: A method for encryption and sealing of a plaintext file by hashing the plaintext file to produce a plaintext hash, encrypting the plaintext file to produce ciphertext, hashing the ciphertext to produce a ciphertext hash, hashing the plaintext hash and the ciphertext hash to produce a result hash, and sealing the ciphertext together with the result hash. This provides verification for non-repudiation and protects against undetected malware corrupting the plaintext or ciphertext files.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Spyrus, Inc.Inventors: Robert R. Jueneman, Duane J. Linsenbardt, John N. Young, William Reid Carlisle, Burton George Tregub

Publication number: 20160021068Abstract: A device and method for file encryption and decryption with a cryptographic processor reconstituting a file encryption key from a version of the key which has been shrouded with a network authorization code. This meets a need for restricted communication and data containment by limiting access to a pre-defined community-of-interest, so that no one outside of that community can decrypt encrypted content.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2015Publication date: January 21, 2016Applicant: SPYRUS, INC.Inventors: Robert R. JUENEMAN, Duane J. LINSENBARDT, John N. YOUNG, William Reid CARLISLE, Burton George TREGUB

Patent number: 9049010Abstract: A portable encryption device with logon access controlled by an encryption key, with an on board cryptographic processor for reconstituting the encryption key from a plurality of secrets generated by a secret sharing algorithm, optionally shrouded with external secrets using an invertible transform resistant to quantum computing attacks. Another embodiment provides file decryption controlled by a file encryption key, with the on board cryptographic processor reconstituting the file encryption key from a version of the file encryption key which has been shrouded with a network authorization code. A method for encryption of a plaintext file by hashing, compressing, and encrypting the plaintext file, hashing the ciphertext, hashing the plaintext hash and the ciphertext hash, and sealing the ciphertext together with the resulting hash. A portable encryption device for performing the method is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Spyrus, Inc.Inventors: Robert R. Jueneman, Duane J.

Patent number: 5649118Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed wherein a single set of consumer items may be purchased by debiting any of a plurality of accounts stored on a smart card. According to an embodiment disclosed herein, a point-of-sale terminal includes a terminal processor, an item identification device, a terminal memory, and a smart card reader. The item identification device may include a conventional UPC bar code reader adapted to read UPC bar codes on consumer items. A cost table and a plurality of item tables are electronically stored in terminal memory. The cost table associates each item identifier (UPC bar code) with a corresponding cost. Each item table contains a list of item identifiers, and may optionally associate specific item identifiers with corresponding accounts. Each item table is uniquely identified using an item table identifier. The terminal memory, item identification device, and smart card reader are all coupled to the terminal processor.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1994Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: William Reid Carlisle, Lydia Anne Curtis, Kathleen M.
