ANONYMOUS EVENT ATTESTATION WITH GROUP SIGNATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18649413 titled 'ANONYMOUS EVENT ATTESTATION WITH GROUP SIGNATURES
The patent application describes methods, systems, and computer media that provide attestation tokens to protect communication integrity from client devices without using stable device identifiers that could track devices or users.
- Client devices can receive anonymous certificates signifying membership in a device trustworthiness group.
- Attestation tokens can be signed anonymously with group signatures using the anonymous certificates.
- Client devices may include throttlers to limit the quantity of attestation tokens created.
Potential Applications: - Secure communication systems - Privacy protection for client devices - Preventing tracking of devices and users
Problems Solved: - Ensuring communication integrity without compromising user privacy - Avoiding tracking of client devices through stable identifiers
Benefits: - Enhanced security for communication transmissions - Protection of user privacy and anonymity - Prevention of unauthorized tracking of devices
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Communication Systems for Privacy Protection This technology could be used in industries such as cybersecurity, telecommunications, and data privacy to enhance the security and privacy of communication systems.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve communication security without compromising user privacy? 2. What are the potential implications of using anonymous certificates and group signatures in communication systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and computer media provide attestation tokens that protect the integrity of communications transmitted from client devices, while at the same time avoiding the use of stable device identifiers that could be used to track client devices or their users. In one approach, client devices can receive anonymous certificates from a device integrity computing system signifying membership in a selected device trustworthiness group, and attestation tokens can be signed anonymously with the anonymous certificates using a group signature scheme. Client devices can include throttlers imposing limits on the quantity of attestation tokens created by the client device.
