Sequitur Labs Assigned Patent

Sequitur Labs, Inc., Fall City, WA, has been assigned a patent (11847237) developed by Attfield, Philip, Fall City, WA, Doyle, Michael, Las Vegas, NV, and Ting, Vincent, Vancouver, Canada, for “secure data protection and encryption techniques for computing devices and information storage.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A system for secure data protection and encryption for computing devices. The present invention includes a fast encryption technique for quickly ensuring that the correct binding parameters are used for an encrypted data file. The encrypted file is used in two ways. Because unsecure data could pass through a peripheral device to gain access to a secure computing environment, a dongle housing encryption and decryption subsystems is placed in between the unsecure sources and the peripheral that can encrypt and decrypt data intended for the secure computing environment. The firmware of the computing device can be updated by dividing the update file into encrypted segments that are verified on the device and placed into non-volatile memory. When all parts have been received, decrypted, and written into memory, the device reboots using the updated firmware.”

The patent application was filed on 2021-07-27 (17/386336).
