METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURE INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240289426 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURE INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION
The abstract describes a system and method for securely generating and distributing digital encryption keys, as well as protecting and distributing other types of secure information. This system includes a tamper-respondent secure token device that can destroy or disable access to the secure information if breached. Outputs can be provided securely without using electricity or electromagnetic radiation, and inputs can be received securely through a gesture-based input interface. The device and its contents can be destroyed or disabled in response to tamper attempts or a self-destruct command.
- Secure generation and distribution of digital encryption keys
- Protection and distribution of various types of secure information
- Tamper-respondent secure token device for destroying or disabling access to secure information
- Secure outputs without using electricity or electromagnetic radiation
- Secure inputs through a gesture-based input interface
- Destruction or disablement of the device and its contents in response to tamper attempts or a self-destruct command
Potential Applications: - Secure communication systems - Secure data storage - Secure distribution of sensitive information - Protection of intellectual property - Secure access control systems
Problems Solved: - Unauthorized access to sensitive information - Tampering with secure devices - Secure distribution of encryption keys - Protection of digital and physical assets - Ensuring data integrity and confidentiality
Benefits: - Enhanced security for sensitive information - Protection against unauthorized access - Secure distribution of encryption keys - Tamper-resistant technology - Improved data protection measures
Commercial Applications: Secure communication systems for government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and other industries requiring high levels of data security.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the tamper-respondent secure token device protect against physical and electronic breaches? 2. What are the advantages of using a gesture-based input interface for secure inputs?
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for secure generation and distribution of digital encryption keys is disclosed. the system may also be used to protect and distribute other types of secure information, including digital, audio, video, or analog data, or physical objects. the system may include a tamper-respondent secure token device, which may be configured to destroy or disable access to the secure information contained therein in response to attempts to physically or electronically breach the device. outputs may be provided in a secure manner through various interfaces without using electricity (wires) or electromagnetic radiation. inputs may be provided in a secure manner, including through the use of a gesture-based input interface. destruction or disablement of the device and/or its secure contents may be provided upon detection of tamper attempts or upon input of a self-destruct command. proof of the destruction or disablement of the device or its contents may be provided.
