TRANSMISSION OF SIGNATURES USED IN STATEFUL SIGNATURE SCHEMES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452798 titled 'TRANSMISSION OF SIGNATURES USED IN STATEFUL SIGNATURE SCHEMES

Simplified Explanation

The computing device described in the patent application is capable of determining whether a signature, produced by a signer, is derived from a free state under a stateful signature scheme. If the signature is found to be derived from a free state, the processor decrypts the encrypted signature and transmits it to a recipient via the communication interface.

  • Communication interface and processor included in the computing device
  • Processor determines if signature is derived from a free state under a stateful signature scheme
  • Signature is encrypted by the signer
  • Processor decrypts the signature if it is derived from a free state
  • Decrypted signature is transmitted to a recipient via the communication interface

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in secure communication systems, digital signatures, and authentication processes.

Problems Solved

This technology helps ensure the authenticity and integrity of signatures by verifying that they are derived from a free state under a stateful signature scheme.

Benefits

- Enhanced security in communication and authentication processes - Efficient verification of signatures - Protection against signature forgery and tampering

Potential Commercial Applications

"Secure Communication Systems and Digital Signatures: Enhancing Authentication Processes"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to stateful signature schemes and encryption techniques used in secure communication systems.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact data privacy and protection?

This technology enhances data privacy and protection by ensuring the authenticity of signatures and secure communication.

What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world applications?

The limitations of this technology may include compatibility issues with existing systems, implementation costs, and potential vulnerabilities in the encryption and decryption processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an example, a computing device is described. The computing device comprises a communication interface and a processor. The processor is to determine whether a signature, produced by a signer, is derived from a free state under a stateful signature scheme. The free state is a state that has not been used as an input to generate a signing key. The signature is encrypted by the signer. The processor is further to, in response to determining that the signature is derived from a free state, decrypt the encrypted signature. The processor is further to transmit the decrypted signature to a recipient via the communication interface.
