PASSWORD RESET - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240250813 titled 'PASSWORD RESET
The abstract of the patent application describes an information handling system that can receive a password reset request associated with a specific machine identifier. In response to this request, the system provides a payload containing an encrypted reset command, a wrapped version of the encryption key, and a cryptographic signature. The target information handling system can then verify the signature, unwrap the encryption key, decrypt the reset command, and allow a password reset.
- Simplified Explanation:
An information handling system can reset passwords for target systems by providing an encrypted reset command and necessary encryption keys in a secure payload.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- Ability to securely reset passwords for target information handling systems - Use of encryption keys and cryptographic signatures for secure communication
- Potential Applications:
- IT security systems - Password management tools - Data protection solutions
- Problems Solved:
- Secure password reset process - Protection against unauthorized access
- Benefits:
- Enhanced security for password reset procedures - Efficient and reliable communication between systems
- Commercial Applications:
"Secure Password Reset System for Information Handling Systems: Enhancing Data Security and Access Control"
- Questions about the Technology:
1. How does the system ensure the security of the encryption keys during the password reset process? 2. What measures are in place to prevent unauthorized access to the reset command during transmission?
- Frequently Updated Research:
Stay updated on advancements in encryption technology and cybersecurity protocols relevant to password reset systems.
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.
