A particle accelerator random number generator system comprises a particle accelerator, a particle event detector, and a processing application. Operation steps include initiating the particle accelerator; detecting a particle event by the particle event detector; recording a binary event from the detected particle event; determining if sufficient binary events have been recorded for the desired random number strength; if not, return to the step of detecting a particle event; if so, converting the random number binary string to a random number generated hexadecimal; applying the random number generated hexadecimal string for an encryption key; and using the random number hexadecimal key to encrypt an application.

Particle accelerator to generate random numbers for cryptographic applications

A method for a system for security evaluation includes working one state at a time; identifying primitives of interest and systematically applying relevant attacks for the system; starting at chip level, working through states, and then expanding a system boundary and repeating; following a sequence of: chip>circuit card>subsystem>system>platform for a product solution under analysis; determining if a system definition has sufficient detail, or is too abstract; for a chip with a native secure boot protocol, determining if all players are represented; representing attacks as vectors made up of measurements of the following attributes: Dollars, days, Probability of success, Probability of destruction, technology node, and number of samples; and representing countermeasures as vectors made up of scaling factors for each of attack attributes.

System security evaluation model

A system and method for cryptographic verification of entity/vehicle authenticity, comprising generating a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)&#x2014;Key for an individual platform/vehicle; applying the VIN&#x2014;Key to components of the platform/vehicle; receiving input for the platform/vehicle; validating the authenticity of the input and/or the platform/vehicle; performing the operation of the input if it was validated; terminating the operation if it was not validated; logging the operation; and decommissioning the platform/vehicle at the end of life.

System and method for cryptographic verification of vehicle authenticity

A system for securely customizing a computing environment based on cryptographic protections includes providing a key device; bringing the key device proximate to a computing environment (); beginning an authentication protocol when the user approaches the environment with the device; validating user to the key device (); comparing certificates (); unlocking/regenerating a device split key (); if authentication of certificates is not valid, log & return (); if it is valid, a full key is generated on the computing environment in volatile memory, and the full key unlocks personal settings on the computing environment (). Using the computing environment with the personal settings (); disconnecting (); and logging activity (). The device can be a smart phone. Bringing the key proximate to a computing environment () can initiate Bluetooth or other near field communications. Initial steps can include enrolling the key (). The environment can be a vehicle.
