Abstract:
A method herein is for encryption key update in a station. In the method, a first data block is encrypted using a first plurality of round keys over a first plurality of rounds to generate a first encrypted data block, wherein the first plurality of round keys are generated based on an initial block key. A round key of the first plurality of round keys is retained for use as a basis for a first derived block key. A second data block is encrypted using a second plurality of round keys over a second plurality of rounds to generate a second encrypted data block, wherein the second plurality of round keys are generated based on the first derived block key. A round key of the second plurality of round keys may be retained for use as a basis for a second derived block key.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method to unlock a body area network (BAN) of a patient and to transmit medical data about the patient. The BAN, under the control of a body area controller (BAC), may be unlocked based upon a pre-defined patient action performed by the patient and the BAN may then be connected to a wireless device. The BAN medical data of the patient may then be transmitted by the wireless device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method to decrypt an encrypted account credential at a second device that is received from a first device. The second device may receive a first share of a master key and the encrypted account credential from the first device. The second device may reconstruct the master key with the first share of the master key and a second share of the master key stored at the second device. The second device may decrypt the encrypted account credential with the reconstructed master key. Based upon the decrypted account credential, the second device may be enabled to access an account based upon the decrypted account credential.
