Filed:

Dec 8, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/636427

Inventors:

Barry Sanders - Calgary, CA
Travis Beals - Berkeley CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/08
H04L 9/28
H04L 9/30

US Classification:

380278, 380 28, 380 46

Abstract:

A method and system for providing communication over arbitrary distances with a desired probability of security is disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention shares of a random key are encoded, the random key for effecting communication of a message through a network employing a cryptographically strong forward security system having a limited effective communications distance. A distributed re-randomization of the encoded shares is then effected at a plurality of intermediate network nodes.

International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

380278

Abstract:

A method and system for providing authentication of mutual strangers is provided. For one embodiment, a plurality of routes from an origination node of a network to a recipient node of the network are determined, a portion of the routes is selected, and shares of a random secret key are generated with each share corresponding to one of the routes. Each share of the random secret key is transmitted via the corresponding route. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, shares of a random key are encoded and the random key is relayed via multiple routes through a network employing a cryptographically strong forward security system. At the destination, shares are recombined to reconstruct the key, and the recipient verifies the integrity of the key with the sender. If the key is intact it is used for authentication or encryption in future communication between the sender and recipient.

H04W 12/06

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus presented herein allow a non-SIM device to access a paid Wi-Fi network by having a server emulate the non-SIM device as a related SIM-enabled device to a mobile operator. The mobile operator is led to believe that the non-SIM device is the related SIM-enabled device, and thereby grants authorization to the non-SIM device to access the paid Wi-Fi network.

International Classification:

G06F 1/32

US Classification:

713300

Abstract:

A method uses a computing device that includes a first processor in a first, inactive state operatively coupled to a second processor in an active state. While the first processor is in the first state () the second processor uses sensors to determine () that a first condition occurred. In response to determining that the first condition has occurred, the first processor initializes () to a second, active state. If the first or second processor determines () that a second condition has occurred within a given time period ( and ) after the first condition occurred, the first processor performs () a first action such as launching a software application, capturing a digital photograph, or placing a phone call.
