20100185862 | Method and System for Encrypting JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Messages - The confidentiality of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) message data is secured using an encryption scheme. The encryption scheme implements a JSON encryption syntax, together with a set of processing rules for creating encrypting arbitrary data in JSON messages in a platform/language independent manner. A method for encrypting a data item in a JSON message begins by applying an encryption method and a key to the data item to generate a cipher value. A data object is then constructed that represents an encryption of the data item. The data item in the JSON message is then replaced with the data object, and the resulting modified JSON message is then output from a sending entity. At a receiving entity, information in the data object is used to re-generate the data item, which is then placed back in the original message. | 07-22-2010 |
20100185869 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SIGNING JAVASCRIPT OBJECT NOTATION (JSON) MESSAGES - JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) message integrity is provided using a digital signature scheme.

The syntax preferably comprises a set of named elements, including a reference element, a signature information element, and a signature element. In one embodiment, a machine-implemented method for signing a JSON message begins by constructing a reference element for each data object in the JSON message to be signed. The data object is identified by a reference identifier. The reference element includes the reference identifier, a pointer (such as a URI) to a digest method, and a digest generated by applying the digest method to the data object or a given function of the data object. Then, a signature information element is constructed for one or more of the reference elements corresponding to the one or more data objects in the message that are being signed. The signature information element includes a pointer to a signature method, as well as one or more reference elements, or a canonical form of the one or more reference elements. Then, a signature element is constructed. The signature element includes the signature information element, and a signature value generated by applying the signature method (identified in the signature information element) to the signature information element. The signature element is the JSON message signature. The signature enables a sending entity (such as a Web browser or Web server) to generate a digest on all or parts of a JSON message and then to secure the digests using a signing key. | 07-22-2010 |
