Publication number: 20170244511Abstract: Jamming systems uses wireless signals (e.g., radio waves) to deliberately prevent a target from accurately receiving desired wireless signals. The examples herein disclose an anti-jamming system that mitigates an effect that jamming signals have on a radio receiver. To do so, the anti-jamming system generates a plasma shield in a region of space between the target and the jamming system. Plasma is opaque to electromagnetic energy meaning that radio signals, lasers, microwave energy, and the like are unable to pass through the plasma, and instead, are absorbed by the plasma. As such, the jamming signals emitted by the jamming system are absorbed by the plasma shield and do not interfere with the target's radio receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2016Publication date: August 24, 2017Inventor: Jeffrey H.

Publication number: 20170244553Abstract: A method of executing a program operating on data encrypted by a homomorphic encryption. Execution of a program instruction includes the homomorphic evaluation of an associated function in the ciphertext space, homomorphic masking of the result of the evaluation with a previously encrypted random sequence decryption of the evaluation result thus masked followed by a new encryption and then homomorphic unmasking in the ciphertext space. The result of execution of the instruction does not appear in plain text at any time during execution of the instruction.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2017Publication date: August 24, 2017Applicant: COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE ET AUX ENERGIES ALTERNATIVESInventors: Olivier SAVRY, Thomas Hiscock

Publication number: 20170244554Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product encrypt data. A processor(s) obtains plaintext (plaintext data) and randomly generates multiple seed keys and obtains a user-defined password. The processor(s) randomly generates encryption parameters (pattern indicators, end pointers, pattern indicator pointers, and component sizes) and encrypts the plaintext by converting the plaintext data to shuffle-transform encrypted text and generating, from the shuffle-transform encrypted text and based on the encryption parameters, a plurality of encrypted blocks. The processor(s) implements a dynamic mathematical offset, to a portion of mathematical functions underlying the encryption parameters. The processor(s) generates an encrypted chunk for each encrypted block of the plurality of encrypted blocks, wherein the encrypted chunk for each encrypted block contains a portion of the shuffle-transform encrypted text.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2017Publication date: August 24, 2017Inventor: Raymond Richard FELICIANO

Publication number: 20170244555Abstract: In an example, an active authentication session may b transferred from a first device to a second device. An authentication server may store a new authentication session token for the second device in session storage. The new authentication session token may be derived from an active authentication session token that was received from the first device. The authentication server may also receive an identification value from the first device, which was obtained from the second device, in response to verifying a query by the second device regarding an existence of a locator key based on the identification value in the session storage, the new authentication session token may be transmitted to the second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2014Publication date: August 24, 2017Inventors: Michael Beiter, Matthew Messinger
