Patent GB-2560587-A (GB)
Title: Secure data exchange
Inventor: ANDREW WILLIAM ROSCOE
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2017-03-17
Abstract: A method and system of exchanging first valuable data at a first node for second valuable data at a second node. The first node sends a plurality of messages to the second node, the messages blinded by a first encryption and with the first valuable data concealed in one message. The second node applies another encryption to create a plurality of double-blinded messages and sends them to the first node. The first node removes the encryption it originally applied and sends the partially decrypted blinded messages back to the second node. The second node follows the same process for the second valuable data it wishes to send to the first node. The valuable data may be a shared password or form part of a PAKE protocol. The invention provides a stochastic fair exchange of data without a trusted third party such that a man-in-the-middle attack by a malicious third party may be prevented.

Title: Authentication in a computer network system
Inventor: MARKKU ROSSI
IPC: G06F21/44
Filed: 2018-03-26
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for network authentication based on security credentials such as certificates issued by a certificate authority. In normal operation a client host 10 accesses a security credential authority (CA) 30 for a credential 35 to allow access to target host 20. The CA is also able to create an emergency security credential 36 to be used by the client host when it is prevented from obtaining a credential such as during a CA server failure or network outage. The emergency credential is configured to provide an error state indication 37 to show that it has been used in response to an error condition. The emergency credential is sent to the client host by the CA and stored in storage 18. Upon detecting that a credential cannot be obtained from the CA the client host fetches the fall-back credential and sends it 39 to the target host. Upon receipt the target host detects the error state indication in the emergency credential and performs at least one additional security operation when processing the access request. The method may be used for Internet of Things (IOT) applications and other machine to machine type communications.
