US Patent Issued to Horizon 3 AI on April 21 for "Low-compute, privacy preserving hash cracking" (North Carolina Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,609,810, issued on April 21, was assigned to Horizon 3 AI Inc. (Dover, Del.).

"Low-compute, privacy preserving hash cracking" was invented by Naveen Naga Sunkavally (Cary, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Clear text passcodes are recovered from hashed versions of passcodes in a computational efficient and privacy preserving manner. A service provider computes an initial hash of clear text passcodes in a wordlist, computes a subsequent hash on top of the initial hash, and groups or bins the clear text passcodes based on a portion (e.g., prefix) of their subsequent hashes. A client computes a subsequent hash of a hashed passcode to be ...
