ULTRA-WIDEBAND SESSION KEY SHARING SCHEME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17878478 titled 'ULTRA-WIDEBAND SESSION KEY SHARING SCHEME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a shared session key generation scheme for establishing a secure session between two devices.

• The first device retrieves the public key of the second device.
• Using the public key of the second device and its own private key, the first device generates a session key.
• The first device establishes a secure session with the second device using the generated session key.
• The second device encrypts a message using a session key it generated.
• The first device decrypts the message using the session key it generated, which is a duplicate of the second device's session key.

Potential Applications

• Secure communication between devices
• Secure data transfer
• Secure remote access

Problems Solved

• Ensures secure communication between devices
• Prevents unauthorized access to transmitted data
• Protects against message interception and decryption

Benefits

• Simplifies the process of generating and sharing session keys
• Provides a secure method for establishing a session between devices
• Enables encrypted communication and data transfer

Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the disclosure include a shared session key generation scheme. A method for a shared session key generation scheme includes retrieving, by a first device, a public key of a second device. The first device can generate a first session key, based at least in part on the public key of the second device and a private key of the first device. The first device can establish a secure session with the second device based at least in part on generating the first session key. The first device can receive a message from the second device via the secure session, the message being encrypted by a second session key generated by the second device, the first session key being a duplicate of the second session key. The first device can decrypt the message using the first session key.
