US Patent Issued to Rockwell Collins on March 17 for "Inline encryptor ASIC" (Iowa Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,579,324, issued on March 17, was assigned to Rockwell Collins Inc. (Cedar Rapids, Iowa).

"Inline encryptor ASIC" was invented by Joseph T. Constant (Marion, Iowa).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An inline encryptor ASIC avoids contaminating memory with data which may be compromised by quantum computers. The inline encryptor ASIC encrypts the data using Post Quantum Cryptography algorithms before storing the data in the memory. The data in the memory is then resistant to quantum computer attacks. The inline encryptor ASIC may sanitize the memory via sanitizing a key used to encrypt the data. Sanitizing the memory by sanitizing the key enab...
