Claims20
A method of securely tracking a location of a first smart device, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of encrypted private keys at the first smart device, wherein the encrypted private keys correspond to a physical zone;
- authenticating a physical location of the first smart device within the physical zone;
- selecting a private key corresponding to the physical zone from the plurality of encrypted private keys;
- sampling a local environmental variable;
- scrambling the physical location of the first smart device using the private key corresponding to the physical zone and a time interval of the sampling;
- encrypting the physical location of the first smart device using the environmental variable;
- and
- transmitting the physical location of the first smart device as encrypted to a remote computer system.
A system for securely tracking a location of a first smart device, the system comprising:
- an apparatus operable to broadcast encrypted private keys, wherein the encrypted private keys correspond to a respective physical zone;
- and
- the smart device operable to engage in communication with the apparatus and further operable to execute a software application that performs a method comprising:
- authenticating that the first smart device is physically located within a physical zone;
- selecting a private key corresponding to the physical zone from the encrypted private keys broadcast by the apparatus;
- sampling a local environmental variable;
- scrambling a physical location of the first smart device using the private key corresponding to the physical zone and a time interval of the sampling;
- encrypting the location within the physical zone using the environmental variable;
- and
- transmitting the physical location of the first smart device as encrypted to the apparatus.
A secure biometric sampling apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a finger scanner configured to measure oxygen levels and pulse rate;
- a micro needle device;
- a processor in electronic communication with the finger scanner and the micro needle device, wherein the processor is operable to execute instructions to automatically perform a method comprising:
- receiving biometric data from the finger scanner and the micro needle device;
- authenticating a user according to the biometric data;
- and
- determining that the user is associated with a potential infection according to the biometric data.
