Authentication Patent Structure

Symbolic Computing’s current work is organized around a single parent patent defining a device-rooted authentication architecture based on device-delegated cryptographic authorization.

The parent architecture applies across multiple trust domains. The sections below describe the primary domain areas in which the same underlying model is embodied, rather than separate or independent inventions.

---

Part A — Wireless and Physical Authentication

• A1. Device-Rooted Network Authentication
  Device-based access to Wi-Fi and wired networks without shared credentials or certificate infrastructure.

• A2. Device-Rooted Peer Authentication
  Stronger trust for peripherals and peer devices, integrated into familiar pairing workflows.

• A3. Device-Rooted IoT Authentication
  Secure onboarding and lifecycle control for consumer and industrial connected devices, including headless systems.

• A4. Device-Rooted Physical Authentication
  Using personal devices as cryptographic keys for vehicles, buildings, and hospitality environments.

Part B — Online Authentication

• B1. Device-Rooted Service Authentication
  Extending device-rooted trust into online service interactions through reciprocal authentication.

• B2. Device-Rooted Account Authentication
  A consistent, device-based model for account identity and continuity across platforms.

• B3. Service-to-Service Authentication
  Cryptographic trust between backend systems, APIs, and agentic AI services, using the same device-delegated authorization model.

Together, these domain areas illustrate how a single device-rooted authentication architecture can be applied consistently across physical and online environments.
