Latest Patents

Hanson’s listed patents address secure pairing and the exchange of cryptographic information.

“Secured communication between a host device and a client device” describes a method for a host and client to verify certificates and pairing messages, exchange values, and confirm that the client has correctly received a group key. The process uses encryption and decryption to support verification before the host sends a message confirming that communication has been established.

“Secured communication between host devices” describes a method for two hosts to establish secure communication when each is enrolled in a different communication group with a client. The hosts exchange and verify certificates and values, derive a temporary key, and use it to decrypt a message containing a group key. The method also includes exchanging group keys and confirming successful communication.
