METHOD FOR IMPROVED HASH CHAINING AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18356741 titled 'METHOD FOR IMPROVED HASH CHAINING AUTHENTICATION

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a method for improving communication security implemented by a sending device. - The method involves the sending device generating a first hash token based on a K generation hash value of a seed known only to the sending device. - K is an integer value greater than one, indicating that multiple generations of hash values are used. - The sending device then sends a first message that includes the first hash token. - The sending device performs a reversible combination of a K−1 generation hash value of the seed and a hash of the first message to generate a second hash token. - The sending device then sends a second message that includes the second hash token. - The method aims to enhance communication security by utilizing a combination of hash values and seed information known only to the sending device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for improving communication security implemented by a sending device. The method includes the sending device generating a first hash token based on a K generation hash (H) value of a seed known only to the sending device, where K is an integer value greater than one, and sending a first message that includes the first hash token. The method further includes the sending device performing a reversible combination of a K−1 generation hash (H) value of the seed and a hash of the first message to generate a second hash token, and sending the second message that includes the second hash token.
