Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for communicating between an electronic tag and a computer connected to the internet, wherein the electronic tag: encrypts at least part of the information to be transmitted, using a data format preserving algorithm; generates a URL comprising at least the encrypted part of the information; and transmits the URL to an NFC reader.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- encrypting, by an electronic tag, information to be transmitted between the electronic tag and an internet-connected computing device using a format preservation algorithm, the information comprising an encrypted portion, the encrypted portion comprising data modified by the electronic tag, the encrypted portion consisting of American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) printable character, the ASCII printable characters consists of a combination of two or more of the following characters:
- “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”, “f”, “g”, “h”, “i”, “j”, “k”, “l”, “m”, “n”, “o”, “p”, “q”, “r”, “s”, “t”, “u”, “v”, “w”, “x”, “y”, “z”, “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F”, “G”, “H”, “I”, “J”, “K”, “L”, “M”, “N”, “O”, “P”, “Q”, “R”, “S”, “T”, “U”, “U”, “V”, “W”, “X”, “Y”, “Z”, “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8” and “9”;
- generating, by the electronic tag, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the URL comprising at least the encrypted portion;
- transmitting, by the electronic tag, the URL to a near field communication (NFC) reader;
- receiving, by the internet-connected computing device, the encrypted portion;
- decrypting, by the internet-connected computing device, the encrypted portion to generate a decrypted portion;
- and
- interpreting, by the internet-connected computing device, the decrypted portion.
5 more elements
A system, comprising:
- an electronic tag configured to:
- encrypt information using a format preservation algorithm, the information comprising an encrypted portion, the encrypted portion being limited to two or more combinations of lower- or upper-case English Alphabet characters and integer numbers ‘0’ through ‘9’,
- generate a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the URL comprising at least the encrypted portion, and
- transmit the URL to a near field communication (NFC) reader;
- and
- an internet-connected computing device is configured to:
- receive the encrypted portion,
- decrypt the encrypted portion to generate a decrypted portion, and
- interpret the decrypted portion.
6 more elements
An electronic tag, configured to:
- encrypt information to be transmitted between the electronic tag and an internet-connected computing device using a format preservation algorithm, the information comprising an encrypted portion, the format preservation algorithm being in accordance with an FF1 algorithm, the encrypted portion being limited to two or more combinations of lower- or upper-case English Alphabet characters and integer numbers ‘0’ through ‘9’;
- generate a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the URL comprising at least the encrypted portion;
- and
- transmit the URL to a near field communication (NFC) reader such that the internet-connected computing device decrypts the encrypted portion to generate a decrypted portion.
