Abstract

Described are user-wearable devices utilizing encryption authentication techniques to ensure security of any data transmission to and from these devices that utilize one or more securitized containers. The securitized containers can be software containers that are either real or virtual devices. The user-wearable devices communicate using digital signals transmitted and received via wireless, optical, radiative, and other forms of energy that can be converted into signals. In order to provide privacy and security of these signals, unique encryption technology is employed together with the use of biometrics associated with each user. Such devices include timepieces such as digital watches that perform functions suitable for user-wearable devices. The devices can establish communications with a counterpart communication device or system in order to provide the ability to perform specific secured transactions. The biometric data transceivers are capable of reading a user's encrypted biometric data and then transmitting the encrypted data to a user identity validation distributed auto-synchronous array (DASA) database which allows for decryption, identification, and authentication of both the user(s) and the transaction(s).

How It Works

A step-by-step walkthrough. It plays on its own, or click the dots and arrows to move through it yourself.

A ring that grows its own keys, on your finger

Keys never leave the device, with a grace window to re-sync
worn · biometric loop control plane · manages trust plane · encrypts get next key grown locally, never sent tolerance band drift? re-sync, do not lock out removed or imposter → de-authenticated
1 / 5

Picture a smart ring that only works while it is actually on your finger reading your pulse and skin. The second you take it off, or someone else slips it on, it instantly forgets it ever knew you and goes dead as a credential. While you wear it, it quietly keeps re-asking "still you?" in the background, and it encrypts everything using keys it grows itself, never mailing them anywhere. If its key drifts out of sync, it gets a few tries to catch back up before throwing the whole keyring away for a fresh one.

  • Ring, watch or badge with continuous biometric challenge-response
  • Control plane manages, trust plane encrypts, same container split
  • Per-tunnel keys grown locally with a "get next key" ratchet
  • Tolerance method allows bounded re-sync before regenerating keys
