Fill device

Abstract: A method for exchanging strong encryption keys between devices using alternate input methods. At least two devices that want to communicate with one another are set in key exchange mode. The at least two devices are to communicate with one another using a short range radio or personal area network. The at least two devices negotiate with one another to determine which of the at least two devices will generate an encryption key, wherein device A represents the negotiated device and device B represents the non-negotiated device. Device A generates the encryption key and transmits the encryption key to device B using an out-of band transmission channel. The out-of-band transmission channel may be transmitting the encryption key via audio tones. A validation process determines whether the transmission of the encryption key via the out-of-band transmission channel was successful. If the encryption key has been successfully validated, the at least two devices are enabled to automatically accept communications between them over the short range radio or personal area network.

Abstract: The functionality of a hardware security module is combined with that of a cryptographic accelerator in a single device. A single device comprising a hardware security module configured to generate and securely store at least one cryptographic key is combined with hardware configured to accelerate cryptographic computations associated with a plurality of encryption algorithms. The cryptographic keys generated are managed entirely within the composite HSM cryptographic accelerator. Once generated, cryptographic keys may be stored either within the device or outside the device in an encrypted form. The master key used to encrypt the cryptographic keys remains within the device at all times and is isolated on a separate bus. Clear text versions of the cryptographic keys are not accessible outside of the composite HSM cryptographic accelerator.

Abstract: The invention concerns a system for making secure transactions by mail-order purchasing, in particular on the Internet, with delivery of a unique and non-reusable code for each completed transaction. The system involves a third party (20, 50) between the purchaser (10) and the seller (30, 60). Said third party has a table (80) likewise stored in an electronic fill device (70) of the purchaser (10). The third party validates the purchase when the code, issued from the electronic fill device (70) and transmitted by the purchaser, is identical to a code present in the table located at the third party's. Said code advantageously comprises the value of an incremental counter associated with a certification number randomly determined when the electronic fill device (70) is initialised.

Abstract: Systems and methods for manually filling a prescription order. A manual fill device may be incorporated into a manual fill center of a pharmacy operated by one or more pharmacists and/or pharmacist technicians to manually fill certain prescription containers. The manual fill device may include a control unit which may operate at the direction of the order processing device. The manual fill device may also include a distribution section automating distribution of containers for manual fulfillment, and a manual section in which a pharmacist may utilize available pharmaceuticals to manually fill orders.
