Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
In accordance with certain aspects, data is received from a calling program. Ciphertext that includes the data is generated using public key encryption, in a manner that allows only one or more target programs to be able to obtain the data from the ciphertext. In accordance with another aspect a bit string is received frown a calling program. An identifier of the calling program is checked to determine whether the calling program is allowed to access data encrypted in ciphertext of the bit string. The data is decrypted using public key decryption and returned to the calling program only if the calling program is allowed to access the data.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 9, 2003 and granted November 19, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 9, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 9, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
