Title: Method and system for secure storage of digital data
Inventor: Marcus Naraidoo
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2017-09-28
Abstract: Secure storage and processing of digital information comprises a catalogue of user identification information and metadata for authorisation verification which is stored in both primary and secondary storage locations, the storage locations being logically and physically separate. Source data is split into fragments 3 based on the source data’s size and a minimum fragment size, with each fragment being a random number of bytes greater than the minimum size 2. Each fragment is encrypted with a separate cryptographic key 4, 5. A primary and secondary storage location for the keys and fragments are allocated 6, and the catalogue updated with the relationships between the fragments, keys and their storage locations 7. The keys and catalogues may also be stored using the same method, and the method may be applied recursively to provide multiple layers of fragmentation and encryption. Random lengths of dummy padding data may be added to the source data before encryption, and the catalogue updated to record the locations of the padding data within the source data.

Title: Arrangement for, and method of, determining a target distance and adjusting reading parameters of an imaging reader based on target distance
Inventor: CHINH TAN
IPC: G06K7/10
Filed: 2017-05-11
Abstract: A distance to a target to be read by image capture over a range of working distances is determined by directing an aiming light spot along an aiming axis to the target, and by capturing a first image of the target containing the aiming light spot, and by capturing a second image of the target without the aiming light spot. Each image is captured in a frame over a field of view having an imaging axis offset from the aiming axis. An image pre-processor compares first image data from the first image with second image data from the second image over a common fractional region of both frames to obtain a position of the aiming light spot in the first image, and determines the distance to the target based on the position of the aiming light spot in the first image.
