Abstract: An encryption system comprises a pseudo-random number generator (KS) for
generating a long pseudo-random sequence (S) from a shorter encryption key (K)
and, if necessary, a nonce value (N), and a mixing function (MX) for combining the
sequence with a plaintext message (P) on a block-by-block basis, where successive
blocks (S(i)) of 128 bits of the sequence are combined with successive 64-bit blocks
of plaintext (P(i)) to produce successive 64-bit blocks of ciphertext. The blockwise
use of a long pseudo-random sequence preserves the advantages of a block cipher in
terms of data confidentiality and data integrity, as well as benefiting from the speed
advantages of a stream cipher.

IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 1999-11-11
Abstract: A color image reproduction system is able to reproduce high-fidelity replicas of
original color images by using a color calibration transformation that is obtained by
reiteratively deriving refined mapping functions. In one aspect of the invention, an initial
reverse transformation is derived that by itself provides poor-quality calibration for a device
that is characterized by a forward mapping transformation. One or more second reverse
transformations are derived reiteratively for composites of the forward transformation and
all reverse transformations derived thus far. A high-accuracy calibration transformation is
obtained by combining the all of the derived reverse transformations. In a second aspect of
the invention, an initial calibration transformation is derived that by itself provides poor-quality
calibration for a device that is characterized by a forward transformation. A refined
calibration transformation is derived by reiteratively applying calibration transformations to
selected points in a color space to determine the relationship between the selected points and
the corresponding points mapped by the forward transformation.

Inventor: CARPENTIER PAUL R
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1999-01-23
Abstract: Representing a number of assets on an originating computer begins with selecting the assets to be represented (102). Cryptographic hash asset identifiers are generated (104); each of the asset identifiers is computed using the contents of a particular asset. The asset identifier is a content-based or content-addressable asset name for the asset and is location independent. An asset list is generated that includes the asset identifiers computed from the assets (106). A cryptographic hash asset list identifier is generated that is computed from the asset list (108). The asset list identifier is stored for later retrieval. The assets selected are also stored for safekeeping either locally or on a computer network. In the event of loss of the files from the originating computer, the asset list identifier is retrieved (302). Using the asset list identifier, the original asset list is found and retrieved from its safe location (306). The asset identifiers from the retrieved asset list are used to find and retrieve the individual assets from their backup locations (314, 316). The assets are verified by recomputing the cryptographic hash asset identifier for each asset retrieved and comparing it to the asset identifier from the asset list (316). The MD5 algorithm is used for the cryptographic hash function. Assets are retrieved using a multicast protocol (402). A series of importer programs (702-710) searches for assets to retrieve in progressively more remote locations. Assets are retrieved whole or in segments (606).
