Journey.ai Assigned Patent
Storing information within zero-knowledge data management network
By Francis Pelletier | July 11, 2022 at 2:00 pmJourney.ai, Denver, CO, has been assigned a patent (11,363,005) developed by Shockley, Brett, Bonita Springs, FL, Shockley, Alexander John, Palo Alto, CA, Frendo, Michael Joseph, Boulder, CO, Shaffer, Shmuel, Palo Alto, CA, Keiter, Kenneth, Denver, CO, and Behmke, James M., Pembroke, MA, for “storing information within a zero-knowledge data management network.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The techniques herein are directed generally to a ‘zero-knowledge’ data management network. Users are able to share verifiable proof of data and/or identity information, and businesses are able to request, consume, and act on the data–all without a data storage server or those businesses ever seeing or having access to the raw sensitive information, where server-stored data is viewable only by the intended recipients (which may even be selected after storage). In one embodiment, source data is encrypted with a source encryption key (e.g., source public key) with a rekeying key being an encrypting combination of a source decryption key (e.g., source private key) and a recipient’s public key. Without being able to decrypt the data, the storage server can use the rekeying key to re-encrypt the source data with the recipient’s public key, to then be decrypted only by the corresponding recipient using its private key, accordingly.”
The patent application was filed on December 4, 2019 (16/703,846).
