  • Patent number: 10644890
    Abstract: The disclosed technology for a hardware system to access a secure backend system uses non-volatile memory to hold encrypted secrets, volatile memory to hold decrypted secrets ready for use, a keys-for-all (K4A) server, and app servers running K4A clients. To access the backend system in production, each app server uses a decrypted secret and a certificate that identifies the app server and certifies its role and physical and logical location. At initialization of the app server, a K4A client is instantiated that launches and tracks processes, running on the app server, that are authorized to request decryption services. The K4A client responds to a decryption request from an authorized process, determined based on tracking of processes launched, by requesting decryption by a K4A server, using the certificate, and returns to the process, in volatile memory, a decrypted secret or a reference to the decrypted secret, decrypted by the K4A server.

  • Patent number: 10628599
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for generating and deploying customized application software containers. Software containers on a first server comprise an application software module and an end-user-specific data set. A second server receives input data from remote computing devices and stores the input data in a master data set. The second server determines end-user-specific data sets from the master data set. The second server encrypts each of the end-user-specific data sets with an encryption key. The second server generates the software containers by executing the application software module in separate processes and storing each of the encrypted data sets in a separate container. Client computing devices authenticate to the second server to access a software container. The client devices decrypt the end-user-specific data set stored in the software container using the encryption key, and use the application software module to interact with the end-user-specific data set.

  • Patent number: 10552784
    Abstract: One method herein includes forwarding an invoice for a purchase agreement made between a seller and a buyer. The method includes receiving a service selection indicating that the invoice is to be paid using an escrow system. The service selection includes a token for verification of a buyer's signatory. The method receives funding confirmation that the buyer has deposited funds into an escrow account. Based on funding confirmation, notification to ship the goods is sent. The method receives shipping confirmation confirming that the goods have been shipped. Upon receipt of the goods, a receiver is authenticated as the authorized signatory using the verification system. This authentication is based on the stored token matching a provided token. Based on verification of the receiver, the goods are released and the deposited funds from the escrow account are deposited into the seller's account.

  • Patent number: 10511447
    Abstract: A digital signature is created for a data set based on a group of one-time secret keys. Revealable, representative values of the secret keys are computed, for example by cryptographic hashing, and an authentication code vector is also formed having elements that cryptographically combine each secret key with a randomizing function of the data set. The vector is timestamped and signed at a signing time. Bits of a binary representation of the signing time are used to select which of the secret values are included in a selected key vector. A signature of the digital data is then compiled to include the set of authentication code values, the signature of the authentication code vector, and the selected key vector. The secret keys thereby become unusable after the signing time.

  • Patent number: 10469272
    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and computing devices that facilitate secure cloud compute environments are disclosed. A secure application package (SAP) is encrypted with an SAP encryption key. The encrypted SAP is stored on cloud storage. A profiling bitstream is sent to a cloud provider. The profiling bitstream is configured to, when implemented by the HLD, generate and return a profile response, including a bitstream encryption key, which is encrypted with a public key. The profile response is decrypted using a private key and the bitstream encryption key is extracted. An application bitstream is sent to the cloud provider. The application bitstream is encrypted with the bitstream encryption key, includes the SAP encryption key, and is configured to, when implemented by the HLD, obtain the SAP from the cloud storage, decrypt the SAP using the SAP encryption key, and execute an application in a softcore included in the application bitstream.

  • Patent number: 10460468
    Abstract: In aspects of user pose and item correlation, a mobile device includes a correlation module that receives an indication a user of the mobile device has positioned a hand proximate an item based on a pose of the user. The mobile device includes wireless radio systems to scan for wireless-enabled devices corresponding to items tagged with the wireless-enabled devices. The correlation module of the mobile device is implemented to receive the indication that the hand of the user of the mobile device is positioned proximate the item, and initiate a scan from the mobile device for the wireless-enabled devices proximate the user based on the indication of the hand of the user positioned proximate the item. The correlation module receives identifying data of the item that is proximate the hand of the user responsive to the scan of the wireless-enabled devices, and can correlate the item with the user.
