The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that provides a selective encryption technique that encrypts all of the fields in a profile, and selectively enables consumers of the profile information to decrypt specific fields in the profiles. This is accomplished by encrypting each field in the profile using a randomly generated symmetric key, and then encrypting the symmetric key for each field with public keys belonging to individuals who are authorized to access each field. These encrypted public keys are stored in a header of the profile to enable individuals to use their corresponding private keys to decrypt symmetric keys for the specific fields that they are authorized to access.

A security system that provides for secure communication from a remote system operating on an unsecure network without the need for encrypting the packets related to the communication. The packets for the communications are sent over the network in clear text, which are readable by any systems on the network, however, only the systems that are authorized are able to determine what packets are the correct packets and what packets are the imitation packets. Moreover, a remote secure network may be utilized such that any system operating on an unsecure network may send packets through the remote secure network in a randomized routing in order to aid in hiding the systems sending and receiving the packets and the relays through which the packets are being sent.

A system and method for geolocation-aware, cyber-enabled infrastructure inventory and asset management with state prediction capability. The system tracks tangible and intangible assets, including states associated with each asset such as the location, condition, and value of each asset. Physical assets may be cyber-enabled by attaching wireless computing devices to some or all of the physical assets to provide data about the physical assets using sensors of the computing devices, including but not limited to, such data as location, conditions of storage, and hours of operation or use. Data for each item is stored in a multi-dimensional time series database, which keeps a historical record of the states of each item. Unknown or future states can be predicted by applying predictive models to the time series data. Parametric evaluations of current and predicted future states can be used to optimize the assets against an objective.

A method for establishing a fully private, information secure interconnection between a source and a destination over a data network with at least a portion of a public infrastructure. The method comprising at the source creating n shares of a source data according to a predetermined secret sharing scheme, and encrypting the n shares using (n, k) secret sharing. Further, defining for at least one node vi a directed edge (Vi1, Vi2) that has a k−1 capacity. All outgoing links of vi are connected to vi2. Additionally, using a maximum flow algorithm to define the maximum number of shares outgoing from vi2, and therefore from vi, on each outgoing link. The number of shares forwarded by node vi does not exceed the number of maximum shares that were defined by the maximum flow algorithm.

In one implementation, a system for a session key repository includes a monitor engine to monitor communication between a first computing device and a second computing device that is encrypted with a private key, an identification engine to determine a number of session keys and session IDs that correspond to the encrypted communication, a rules engine to determine a number of rules for storing and sharing the number of corresponding session keys and session IDs, a repository engine to send a portion of the number of session keys and session IDs to a network tool based on the number of rules and identification of the network tool.

Virtual smart card system includes a virtual smart card server (VSS) which controls access to content respectively associated with a plurality of virtual smart cards. A remote client computer system includes a system level agent which establishes the client computer machine to the VSS as a trusted computer system. A user level agent at the client computer system responds to a request for a virtual smart card operation by causing the client computer system to obtain user authentication information, negotiate with the system level agent to obtain a cookie, and initiate a request to the VSS for the virtual smart card operation. The VSS will perform the virtual smart card operation provided that a security policy is satisfied and will communicate the results to the user level agent.

It is provided an information sharing system, comprising a server, and an in-vehicle system. The server includes: a first storage part; a first key generation part configured to generate a first private key and a first public key, if keys can be exchanged with the in-vehicle system; and a signature generation part configured to generate a signature value of the first public key using a server private key. The in-vehicle system includes: a second storage part configured to store a public key certificate including a server public key; a signature verification part configured to verify the first public key and a signature value received from the server, using a public key certificate; and a second key generation part configured to generate a second private key and a second public key, if a combination of the first public key and the signature value is correct as a result of the verification.

The techniques and systems described herein are directed to providing targeted, secure software deployment in a computing system. An identity of the computing device can be determined and verified using a trusted platform module (TPM) of the computing device, and a software update can be expressly configured to operate solely on the computing device. Further, a configuration of the computing device can be ascertained using platform configuration registers (PCRs) of the TPM to determine that the computing device has not been modified from a trusted configuration. For example, if malware or unauthorized software is operating on the computing device, the software update may be prevented from being installed. Further, the software update can be targeted for a particular computing device, such that when the software update is received at the computing device, the software update may not be duplicated and provided to an additional, unauthorized device.

A method for users of devices including mobile phones and computers to engage in encrypted communications with other devices using asymmetrical key exchange technology, involving the user of a device first creating a password and then at a later time re-entering that password on the device, with the result that when the password is re-entered the device is able to decrypt a set of software components that are required for a fresh session of encrypted communications.

Data may be protected using a combination of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. A symmetric key may be generated and the data may be encrypted with the symmetric key. The symmetric key and a only a portion of the symmetrically encrypted data may then be encrypted with an asymmetric public key. The entire set of encrypted data, including the asymmetrically encrypted symmetric key, the doubly encrypted portion of data, and the remainder of the symmetrically encrypted data may then be sent to a remote device using insecure communications.
