Compounding Security With A Security Dongle

View page
US Patent:
20100217992, Aug 26, 2010
Filed:
Feb 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/710947
Inventors:
Vernon W. Hamlin - Lisle IL, US
Jorge L. Shimabukuro - Las Vegas NV, US
Craig J. Sylla - Round Lake IL, US
Anussorn Veradej - Las Vegas NV, US
Gerardus A. Weijers - Henderson NV, US
Assignee:
WMS Gaming, Inc. - Waukegan IL
International Classification:
H04L 9/32
US Classification:
713176, 726 9, 726 20
Abstract:
Exposure of a security mechanism, over time and/or in particular markets, increases the likelihood that the security mechanism will be compromised. A security dongle, however, can resist/delay being comprised by compounding one or more security techniques with the security dongle security mechanism (e.g., a unique identifier of the dongle stored in a secure area of the dongle, a cryptographic token with a private key that cannot be retrieved from the memory of the security dongle, etc.). A dynamic element (e.g., a changing key) and/or an unexposed element (e.g., a private key secured by an owner) can be used in conjunction with a security dongle to buttress against being compromised. Using the dynamic element and/or the unexposed element, the security dongle can be cryptographically bound to at least an identifier of a piece of software enabled by the security dongle.

Craig J. Sylla - Round Lake IL, US
Gerardus A. Weijers - Henderson NV, US
International Classification:
G07F 17/32
US Classification:
463 29
Abstract:
A method includes establishing a Near Field Communication (NFC) between a wagering game machine and a mobile device, without a manual configuration and a manual intervention. The method includes receiving, into the wagering game machine, player identification data from the mobile device through the Near Field Communication. The method includes authenticating the player identification data, wherein the authenticating is at least part of a player login into a wagering game account.

US Patent:
20160027244, Jan 28, 2016
Filed:
Oct 5, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/875603
Inventors:
- Las Vegas CA, US
Michael R. Bytnar - Naperville IL, US
Craig J. Sylla - Round Lake IL, US
Gerardus A. Weijers - Henderson NV, US
International Classification:
G07F 17/32
Abstract:
A Near Field Communication (NFC) is established between a wagering game machine and a mobile device. The mobile device receives a credit amount from an account server that is communicably coupled to the mobile device via a network other than the Near Field Communication. The mobile device transfers the credit amount to the wagering game machine via the Near Field Communication.

Smi For Electronic Gaming Machine Security And Stability

US Patent:
20140274305, Sep 18, 2014
Filed:
Mar 15, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/841426
Inventors:
- Waukegan IL, US
Jun Wang - Henderson NV, US
Gerardus A Weijers - Henderson NV, US
Robert A. McPeak - Henderson NV, US
Assignee:
WMS GAMING, INC. - Waukegan IL
International Classification:
G07F 17/32
US Classification:
463 24, 463 29
Abstract:
A system and method for providing security services to an electronic gaming machine (EGM) utilizes system management interrupts (SMIs) triggered by security events to invoke execution by the EGM processor of one or more SMI handlers configured to provide a security service. Security events include the opening of an access panel on the EGM, an AC power loss to the EGM, a request for security attestation, a request for a secure encryption key, and other events requiring a secure operation to be carried out.
