PASSWORD RESET - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18158648 titled 'PASSWORD RESET
The abstract describes a patent application for an information handling system that can reset passwords securely.
- The system receives a password reset request for a specific machine.
- It provides a payload containing an encrypted reset command, a wrapped version of the encryption key, and a cryptographic signature.
- The target system verifies the signature, unwraps the key, decrypts the command, and allows a password reset.
Potential Applications: - Secure password reset mechanisms for information handling systems. - Enhanced data security for sensitive information stored on machines.
Problems Solved: - Ensures secure password reset processes to prevent unauthorized access. - Protects sensitive data from being compromised during password resets.
Benefits: - Improved security measures for information handling systems. - Streamlined and secure password reset procedures for users.
Commercial Applications: "Secure Password Reset Mechanism for Information Handling Systems: Enhancing Data Security and User Privacy"
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in encryption technologies and cybersecurity protocols relevant to password reset mechanisms.
Questions about Secure Password Reset Mechanism for Information Handling Systems: 1. How does the system ensure the authenticity of the password reset request? 2. What encryption algorithms are commonly used in secure password reset mechanisms?
Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to: receive a password reset request associated with a machine identifier of a target information handling system; and in response to the password reset request, provide a payload, wherein the payload includes: an encrypted reset command encrypted with a first key; a wrapped version of the first key, wherein the wrapped version of the first key is encrypted with a public key associated with the target information handling system; and a cryptographic signature; wherein in response to receiving the payload, the target information handling system is configured to verify the cryptographic signature, unwrap the wrapped version of the first key with a private key associated with the public key, decrypt the encrypted reset command, and allow a password reset.
