Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention is related to a method and system for deriving an encryption key using joint randomness not shared by others (JRNSO). Communicating entities generate JRNSO bits from a channel impulse response (CIR) estimate and the JRNSO bits are used in generation of an encryption key. The authentication type may be IEEE 802.1x or a pre-shared key system. In an IEEE 802.1x system, a master key, a pairwise master key or a pairwise transient key may be generated using the JRNSO bits. The encryption key may be generated by using a Diffie-Hellman key derivation algorithm.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 19, 2006 and granted September 17, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 19, 2026.
- Certificates of supplementary protection extend only drug patents, and it isn't classified as one.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
