SINGLE-PURPOSE CERTIFICATES WITH HASH VALUES TIED TO SPECIFIC ARTIFACTS OR CONNECTIONS RELATED APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031175 titled 'SINGLE-PURPOSE CERTIFICATES WITH HASH VALUES TIED TO SPECIFIC ARTIFACTS OR CONNECTIONS RELATED APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for securing artifacts or connections by generating a unique public-private key combination and creating hashes of specific information. These keys and hashes are sent to a certificate authority, which issues a single-purpose certificate containing the signer's identity, the hashes, metadata, and the public key. The certificate is then published or sent to a verifier, who can establish secure connections or receive artifacts using the certificate. The method also includes a process for revoking the certificate after signing an artifact with the private key.
- Method of securing artifacts or connections using unique key combinations and hashes
- Generating a single-purpose public-private key combination
- Creating hashes of specific information
- Sending keys and hashes to a certificate authority
- Receiving a single-purpose certificate from the certificate authority
- Publishing or sending the certificate to a verifier
- Establishing secure connections or sending artifacts using the certificate
- Method of revoking the certificate after signing an artifact with the private key
Potential applications of this technology:
- Secure communication between devices or systems
- Secure transfer of sensitive data or files
- Authentication and verification of digital signatures
- Protection against unauthorized access or tampering
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensuring the authenticity and integrity of artifacts or connections
- Preventing unauthorized access or tampering of sensitive information
- Simplifying the process of certificate issuance and revocation
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security and protection of sensitive data
- Efficient and streamlined process for securing artifacts or connections
- Reliable authentication and verification of digital signatures
- Flexibility in establishing secure connections or transferring artifacts
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of securing defined artifacts, or secure connections, includes: generating a single-purpose public key and private key combination; creating a set of hashes of unique information characterizing one or more specific connections or artifacts; sending the single-purpose public key and the set of hashes to a certificate authority; receiving from the certificate authority a single-purpose certificate that includes fields storing an identity of a signer, the set of hashes, metadata identifying the hashed unique information, and the single-purpose public key, wherein the single-purpose certificate is signed with a certificate authority private key; publishing or sending the single-purpose certificate to a verifier, and, with the single-purpose certificate, at least one of establishing one or more secure connections with the verifier or sending the one or more artifacts to the verifier. a method of signature revocation includes, following signing an artifact with the private key, revoking the certificate.
