Patent number: 11876889Abstract: A symmetric cryptography for encrypting and decrypting information is provided, that can be implemented efficiently in hardware or in software. The symmetric cryptography uses a key generator, so that the cryptography is not dependent on a single, static cryptography key. The key generator is a value or collection of values from which the key is generated. In some embodiments, the key generator substantially increases the computational complexity of differential cryptanalysis and other cryptographic attacks because it has more entropy than the key(s). In an embodiment, the key generator is updated with one-way functions exhibiting the avalanche effect, which generates an unpredictable sequence of keys used during the encryption or decryption process. In an embodiment, a dynamic key is derived from a key generator with a one-way function. In an embodiment, a block cipher uses a different dynamic key to encrypt each block of plaintext, where each key is derived from a different key generator.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Fiske Software, LLCInventor: Michael Stephen Fiske

Patent number: 11868706Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for syncing content across workspace pages. The system creates a first synced block on a first workspace page. Content on workspace pages rendered by the system is stored in blocks and each of the workspace pages has a hierarchy of blocks. The system adds one or more child blocks to the first synced block as content to be synced. The system creates a reference synced block on a second workspace page and adds a pointer to the reference synced block that points to the first synced block. This is done in order to sync the one or more child blocks of the first synced block across the first and second workspace pages, where editing the first synced block or the reference synced block includes editing the one or more child blocks of the first synced block.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Notion Labs, Inc.Inventors: He Lu, Simon Townsend-Last

Patent number: 11870887Abstract: It is provided a method for managing central secret keys of a plurality of user devices associated with a single public key. The method is performed in a key manager and comprises the steps of: receiving, from a first user device, transformation data and an identifier of a second user device; obtaining a first central secret key associated with the first user device; generating a second central secret key by applying the transformation data to the first central secret key, wherein the transformation data is applied in reverse to how the same transformation data is applied by the first user device to a device secret key of the first user device; and storing the second central secret key in association with the second user device.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventors: Håkan Olsson, Frans Lundberg
