Title: Compositions and methods of treatment for conditions responsive to testosterone elevation
Inventor: DAY WESLEY WARREN
IPC: C07D333/56
Filed: 2001-01-10
Granted: 2005-10-25
Abstract: This invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of conditions that are responsive to the elevation of testosterone levels in the body and the use of estrogen agonists / antagonists for the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of conditions that are responsive to the elevation of testosterone levels in the body. The compositions are comprised of an estrogen agonist / antagonist and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, carrier or diluent. These compositions are effective in treating male subject sexual dysfunction and timidity in female subjects including post-menopausal women and are effective in increasing libido in female subjects including post-menopausal women. In the case of male subject sexual dysfunction, the compositions may also include a compound which is an elevator of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP).  Additionally, the compositions are effective in other conditions whose etiology is a result of testosterone deficiency or which can be ameliorated by increasing testosterone levels within the body. Methods of the invention include the treatment of conditions that are responsive to elevation of testosterone levels such as treating male subject sexual dysfunction and timidity in female subjects including post-menopausal women and the increase of libido of female subjects including post-menopausal women. The methods of treatment are effective while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with testosterone administration.

Title: Method of designing password-based authentication and key exchange protocol using zero-knowledge interactive proof
Inventor: LEE SOK JOON
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2002-06-04
Granted: 2007-03-13
Abstract: A protocol designing method that securely performs a password-based authentication and key exchange protocol using a zero-knowledge interactive proof is disclosed. According to this method, various kinds of system parameters required for authentication are first set. Then, a user selects a certain random number in conformity with the set parameters, and sends to a server a message including a user ID, a test number A applying a one-way function, and a first question number generation value X known only to the server and the user. The server, using the message sent from the user, sends to the user a message including an authentication Auth of whether the server possesses a public key, and a second question number generation value Y known only to the server and the user. The user authenticates the server by verifying the authentication Auth, and computes a resultant value c of a secret coin tossing known only to the server and the user and a session key SK. Thereafter, the user sends to the server a witness number B for user authentication. The server that stores a password verifier V for the respective user verifies the witness number B using the value c, and exchanges the session key SK by computing the session key SK. Accordingly, a secure authentication and key exchange can be performed only using the password without the necessity of any tool such as a smart card.
