Quantum-Safe Cryptography for Digitally Signed Vocal Contracts - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340185 titled 'Quantum-Safe Cryptography for Digitally Signed Vocal Contracts
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for automatically forming vocal contracts using digitally signed audio and transcript files.
- Parties indicate acceptance of an agreement in a verbal communication.
- Audio and transcript files are digitally signed using cryptographic private keys.
- Authenticated files are exchanged between parties.
- Authenticity is verified using cryptographic public keys.
- Quantum-safe dual signature scheme is utilized for security.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Automatic formation of vocal contracts.
- Use of digitally signed audio and transcript files.
- Quantum-safe dual signature scheme for security.
Potential Applications:
- Legal contracts
- Business agreements
- Personal agreements
Problems Solved:
- Ensuring authenticity of verbal agreements
- Simplifying contract formation process
Benefits:
- Enhanced security
- Streamlined contract creation
- Efficient verification process
Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in legal services, business transactions, and personal agreements to streamline contract formation and enhance security.
Questions about Vocal Contract Formation: 1. How does the system ensure the authenticity of the audio and transcript files? 2. What are the potential implications of using a quantum-safe dual signature scheme in contract formation?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in quantum-safe cryptography and digital signature schemes for enhanced security in contract formation processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
automatic vocal contract formation is provided. it is determined whether an indication of acceptance of an audio file and a transcript file corresponding to a verbal communication containing an agreement was received from parties. the audio file and the transcript file having been digitally signed by the parties based on cryptographic private keys associated with a quantum-safe dual signature scheme are exchanged in response to determining that the indication of acceptance was received from each of the parties. verification of authenticity of the audio file and the transcript file of the vocal contract is received from the parties based on each of the parties successfully verifying digital signatures of the audio file and the transcript file using cryptographic public keys associated with the quantum-safe dual signature scheme.
