Patent number: 8290161Abstract: A method of distributed cryptography for high consequence security systems which employs shared randomness between operating parties. Shared randomness is accomplished by sharing cryptographic keys stored in secure hardware tokens by potentially less secure software or general purpose computing units that perform distributed cryptography. The shared randomness is based on shared keys (at the tokens) and unique context. Shared random values are incorporated into the computation of partial results used in the distributed cryptographic calculation. The incorporation of shared randomness provides a hand-shake among the hardware tokens. When the operation is successful, a result is computed with assurance that the correct parties have taken part in forming the result. The hand-shake assures binding of operating parties and added system security.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: CQRCert, LLCInventors: Marcel M. Yung, Yair Frankel

Patent number: 7711152Abstract: A system and method for the identification of users and objects using biometric techniques is disclosed. This invention describes a biometric based identification and authorization systems which do not require the incorporation of an on-line database of stored complete biometrics for the security infrastructure. In order to remove the connectivity requirements, an off-line biometric system is achieved by incorporating an identity verification template (IVT) on a storage device/token (e.g., magnetic strip or smart-card) during the user's registration which provides for a reliable storage medium; however, there are no security requirements required of the token even to protect the privacy of the stored biometric. The IVT does not contain complete information of the user's biometric but allows for the verification of the user when that user later provides a biometric reading.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1999Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Inventors: George I. Davida, Yair Frankel

Patent number: 7313701Abstract: The invention provides for robust efficient distributed generation of RSA keys. An efficient protocol is one which is independent of the primality test “circuit size”, while a robust protocol allows correct completion even in the presence of a minority of arbitrarily misbehaving malicious parties. The disclosed protocol is secure against any minority of malicious parties (which is optimal). The disclosed method is useful in establishing sensitive distributed cryptographic function sharing services (certification authorities, signature schemes with distributed trust, and key escrow authorities), as well as other applications besides RSA (namely: composite ElGamal, identification schemes, simultaneous bit exchange, etc.). The disclosed method can be combined with proactive function sharing techniques to establish the first efficient, optimal-resilience, robust and proactively-secure RSA-based distributed trust services where the key is never entrusted to a single entity (i.e.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2001Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: CQR Cert, LLCInventors: Yair Frankel, Marcel M.

Publication number: 20070005798Abstract: The invention, in one embodiment, is directed to systems and methods for providing a “Virtual Radiology” service. This service, potentially, can provide any radiological digital image data to any computer at any institution. The service is “Virtual” in that the radiological digital image data accessible on a DICOM LAN and PACS of a first institution is made available to a second institution, without either institution having to open their networks to each other, establish legal or other business relationships and understandings or to become administratively involved with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2004Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Adrian Gropper, Sean Doyle, William Donner, Hugh Cottingham, Yair Frankel
