Title: Ephemeral broadcast key agreement
Inventor: BRENDAN JAMES MORAN
IPC: H04L9/08
Filed: 2018-05-25
Abstract: The claims define a distributor, recipient and system comprising both. The distributor creates shared secrets using its own ephemeral public/private key pair and a public/private key pair of one or more recipients (Diffie-Hellman key agreement is a well known example of this procedure). Each shared secret is used to encrypt a content key, which has been used to encrypt some content. A data structure (700A) comprising the encrypted content, the encrypted content keys and the sender public key is created and transmitted. Recipients recreate the shared secret from the sender public key, decrypt their content key and thus the content. The data structure may be signed by the distributor. The public/private keys may be authenticated, possibly with certificates. The data structure may be forwarded amongst recipients, possibly in a forking manner with only appropriate encrypted content keys continuing into each fork (700B/700C).

Title: Hologram calculation
Inventor: NEIL COLLINGS
IPC: G03H1/16
Filed: 2018-11-27
Abstract: A method and system of displaying a hologram are described. The method comprises calculating a hologram UH(u,v) (Fig. 2A) corresponding to an object Uo(u,v) having an object field, where the hologram comprises a plurality of hologram pixels and calculating the hologram comprises (i) performing the inverse Fourier transform of the product of an object field and a negative quadratic phase exponential representative of positive optical power; (ii) restricting each calculated hologram pixel value to one of a plurality of allowable pixel values, where said number is greater than two, to form a constrained hologram. The constrained hologram is displayed on a spatial light modulator (SLM) 500 where each light-modulating unit operates at a plurality of light-modulation levels, corresponding to the plurality of pixel values. Coherent light 510 illuminates the SLM to form real 502 and virtual 501 holographic reconstructions, with the virtual hologram having greater intensity than the real one, thereby attenuating the “twin-image problem”. The intensity of the real hologram may be zero. This process may be performed iteratively by a GSA algorithm. The system may be incorporated into a Head Up Display (HUD) (Figure 7) or a near-eye device (Figure 8).

Title: Malleability of transactions for inclusion in a blockchain
Inventor: WEI ZHANG
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2019-05-24
Abstract: A method of recording a target transaction between a first and a second party in a blockchain. A first transaction, Tx1, is created by the first party which has a pointer to an Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) in a source transaction, Tx0. The first transaction obtains this digital asset for its own output, 2031, and creates a set of alternative conditions by which this output may be unlocked. A first version of a target transaction, Txp, is created so that the second party may receive the first transaction output. Txp has in its input, 202p, an unlocking script that meets a first condition in the first transaction. However, instead of the first version, a second version of the transaction, Txp’, which has been updated relative to the first version, is sent to the blockchain. This has in its input, 2022’, an unlocking script that meets a second condition in the first transaction. The advantage of the invention is that the target transaction is malleable and may be changed without invalidating the transaction. This may allow the second party to claim a payment either unilaterally or bilaterally using an input such as a digital signature from the first party.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for providing with at least a portion of content having six degrees-of-freedom in a virtual environment, comprising: receiving the portion of content for the virtual environment and associating it with at least one of a first geometric shape and a second geometric shape. The portion of content is then projected onto a first point of a surface of the first geometric shape and determining, based on the projecting of the portion of content onto the first point, a first outcome relating to the portion of content at the first position in the virtual environment. The portion of content is then projected onto a second point of the surface of the first geometric shape or of a surface of the second geometric shape, the second point being different than the first point and determining, based on the projecting of the portion of content onto the second point, a second outcome relating to the portion of content at a second position in the virtual environment, the second position being different than the first position. The portion of content is then reformatted based on the first outcome and the second outcome so that the portion of content appears to have six degrees-of-freedom providing rotational motion and positional motion in the virtual environment.
