GENERATING A SHARED SECRET FOR AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18221790 titled 'GENERATING A SHARED SECRET FOR AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
- Explanation:**
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for generating a shared secret for an electronic system. A memory system and a server exchange public keys to generate a shared secret, which is used to create a device identifier for the memory system. This device identifier can then be used to generate asymmetric key pairs for authentication purposes.
- Potential Applications:**
- Secure communication between electronic devices - Authentication and access control systems - Secure data storage and transfer
- Problems Solved:**
- Ensuring secure communication and data transfer - Preventing unauthorized access to electronic systems - Establishing trust between devices in a network
- Benefits:**
- Enhanced security for electronic systems - Improved authentication processes - Protection of sensitive data from unauthorized access
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for generating a shared secret for an electronic system are described. A memory system may identify an initial key pair and exchange a public key of the key pair with a public key associated with a server. The memory system and the server may each generate a shared secret. In some cases, the memory system and the server may use the shared secret to generate a device identifier for the memory system, for example by incorporating the device identifier into a cryptographic representation of a software layer of the memory system. The memory system and the server may use the device identifier to generate one or more asymmetric key pairs, which may be used by the server to authenticate the memory system.
