Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method for generating a seed value for use in symmetric encryption includes creating and storing a first data set and generating a hashed value based on the first data set. A replacement position in the first data set is selected and at least a portion of the hashed value is written into the first data set at the replacement position. A seed portion of the first data set is selected as the seed value. By varying a number of iterations a balance can be struck , between performance (fewer iterations) and security (more iterations).

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 15, 2003 and granted February 12, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 15, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 15, 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.
