First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cryptographic method comprising:
- forming a multidimensional vector;
providing the multidimensional vector to a receiver;
computing a keyed one-way function using the multidimensional vector and a private key;
receiving a response from the receiver; and
comparing the received response to the computed one-way function.

9. A cryptographic system comprising:
a sending device comprising a vector generator configured to form a multidimensional vector;
a communication module that provides the multidimensional vector to a receiver and that receives a response from a receiver;
a keyed one-way function generator coupled to the vector generator and the communication module, and the keyed one-way function generator configured to compute a keyed one-way function using the multidimensional vector and a private key; and
a comparator coupled to the communication module and the keyed one-way function generator, and the comparator configured to determine if the received response matches the computed one-way function. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 14, 15, 16)
