Rockwell Collins Assigned Patent for System, Apparatus, and Method for the Secure Storing of Bulk Data Using One-time Pad Encryption(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) By Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 19 -- Rockwell Collins, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been assigned a patent (8,160,243) developed by Reginald D. Bean, Center Point, Iowa, for a "system, apparatus, and method for the secure storing of bulk data using one-time pad encryption." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A present novel and non-trivial decryption system and methods are disclosed for the secure storing of bulk data using one-time pad ("OTP") encryption. A storage device could be initialized with an OTP prior to encrypting data received from a data source. Parts of the OTP may be retrieved and used to encrypt the data. Once the data has been encrypted, it may be stored in the same location(s) from where parts of the OTP were retrieved with an optional sterilization of the locations being performed during the encryption process. Besides a data source, an initialize station could be used to facilitate the initializing of the OTP onto the storage device, storing OTP parameters corresponding to the OTP, and deleting the OTP. Additionally, a retrieval station could be used to facilitate the retrieval and decryption of encrypted code using the OTP used in the encryption process." The patent application was filed on Oct. 1, 2009 (12/571,758).
