  • Patent number: 11870886
    Abstract: Systems and methods that may be used to provide multitenant key derivation and management using a unique protocol in which key derivation may be executed between the server that holds the root key and a client that holds the derivation data and obtains an encryption key. In one or more embodiments, the derivation data may be hashed. The disclosed protocol ensures that the server does not get access to or learn anything about the client's derived key, while the client does not get access to or learn anything about the server's root key.

  • Patent number: 11818260
    Abstract: Systems and methods that may be used to provide policies and protocols for blocking decryption capabilities in symmetric key encryption using a unique protocol in which key derivation may include injecting a random string into each key derivation. For example, a policy may be assigned to each client device indicating whether the client device has been assigned encryption only permission or full access permission to both encrypt and decrypt data. The disclosed protocol prevents client devices with encryption only permission from obtaining keys for decryption.

  • Patent number: 11743030
    Abstract: Systems and methods that may implement an Oracle-aided protocol for producing and using FHE encrypted data. The systems and methods may initially encrypt and store input data in one encrypted form that is not performed using FHE, which does not substantially increase the size of the data and storage resources required to store the encrypted data. In accordance with the Oracle-aided protocol, the encrypted data is re-encrypted as FHE encrypted data when FHE encrypted data is required.

  • Patent number: 11431511
    Abstract: At least one processor of a central authority separate from a computing process may establish a first trust relationship between the computing process and a central authority separate from the computing process. The establishing may include authenticating the computing process, which may include providing a signed token to the computing process, receiving a request for the certificate from the computing process including the signed token and policy ID data, determining that the computing process is eligible for the certificate according to a policy that associates the certificate with the policy ID data, and validating the signed token. In response to the establishing, the at least one processor may obtain the certificate. The certificate may be signed by a third-party certificate authority with which the central authority has a second trust relationship separate from the first trust relationship. The at least one processor may provide the certificate to the computing process.

  • Publication number: 20210099287
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to deriving cryptographic keys for use in encrypting data based on a plaintext to be encrypted. An example method generally includes receiving, from a querying device, a request for a cryptographic key. The request generally includes data derived from a plaintext value to be encrypted and an indication of a type of the plaintext value to be encrypted. A cryptographic key is generated based, at least in part, on the derived data and the type of the plaintext value to be encrypted. The key deriver transmits the generated cryptographic key to the querying device.
