Abstract:
In some aspects, an encryption method comprises encrypting a first portion of a message using a first secret key. The first secret key is generated based on the public key of an entity. A one-way function is used to generate a second secret key from the first secret key, and the first secret key is subsequently discarded. A second portion of the message is encrypted using the second secret key. The encrypted first portion of the message and the encrypted second portion of the message are provided to the entity.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented authenticated encryption method for converting a plaintext message into a ciphertext message. The method includes dividing the plaintext message into at least two working blocks, each working block having a mathematical relationship to the plaintext message. For each working block, a working block ciphertext is computed as a function of such working block, a deterministic working block initialization vector, and a deterministic working block encryption key. For each working block, a message authentication tag is computed as a function of a deterministic working block message authentication key and at least one of (a) the working block ciphertext computed for such working block and an indication corresponding to the mathematical relationship of such working block to the plaintext message and (b) such working block. The method further includes computing a global message authentication tag as a function of the message authentication tag computed for each working block and a global message authentication key. The ciphertext message comprises the working block ciphertext computed for each working block and the global message authentication tag.

Abstract:
A method for operating a pseudorandom generator is disclosed. The method may be implemented by a processor of a mobile computing device. The method includes: collecting raw sensor data from at least one sensor associated with the mobile computing device; selecting a subset of the raw sensor data; retrieving first representation representing accumulated entropy associated with one or more previously acquired raw sensor data sets for the at least one sensor; and generating a seed for a pseudorandom generator based on combining the first representation and the selected subset of raw sensor data.
