IDENTIFICATION OF AN APPLICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18610440 titled 'IDENTIFICATION OF AN APPLICATION

The abstract of the patent application describes a system that includes a first application and a shared software platform. The shared software platform assigns a random number to each first application, which is then encrypted and stored in the executable code of the application. Additionally, the first application is identified by a second number that represents the first random number, stored in a memory accessible only to the shared software platform.

  • The system includes at least one first application and a shared software platform.
  • Each first application is assigned a first random number by the shared software platform.
  • The first random number is encrypted and stored in the executable code of the first application.
  • The first application is further identified by a second number that represents the first random number.
  • The second number is stored in a memory portion only accessible to the shared software platform.

Potential Applications: - Secure authentication systems - Data encryption and protection - Secure communication platforms

Problems Solved: - Ensuring secure identification and authentication of applications - Protecting sensitive information stored within applications - Preventing unauthorized access to application data

Benefits: - Enhanced security measures for applications - Protection of sensitive data - Secure communication channels

Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Authentication System for Enterprise Applications This technology can be utilized in industries such as finance, healthcare, and government where data security is paramount. It can also be integrated into mobile applications and IoT devices to ensure secure communication and data protection.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the shared software platform assign random numbers to each first application? 2. What are the potential risks associated with storing sensitive information in the executable code of an application?


Original Abstract Submitted

A system includes at least one first application and a shared software platform. The shared software platform identifies each first application a first random number. The first random number is stored in encrypted fashion in an executable code of the first application. The first application is further identified by a second number which is representative of the first random number. The second number is stored in a first portion of a memory only accessible to the shared software platform.
