Anduril Industries has been granted a patent for a system that includes an interface and a processor. The interface allows clients to join a publish group and receive a group key or a host public key. The processor determines whether a message should be sent, encodes it using the group key, and sends it. The system also includes a backfill database to store messages if needed.

The patent is granted for a system for secure message communication
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11770707B2) describes a system for secure communication within a lattice mesh network. The system includes an interface that allows a client or a point-to-point communication link to request to join a publish group. Upon receiving the request, the interface provides a group key, which consists of a shared secret and a public key of an ephemeral keypair.
The system also includes a processor that determines whether a message is available to send. If a message is available, the processor encodes the message using the group key and sends it. The group key can be received from an asset database and can be a symmetric key used for encrypting and decrypting messages.
The patent also describes a method that follows a similar process. The method involves providing a request to join a publish group, receiving a group key with a shared secret and a public key of an ephemeral keypair, and determining whether a message is available to send. If a message is available, the method encodes the message using the group key and sends it. The group key can be received from an asset database and can be a symmetric key used for encryption and decryption.
Additionally, the patent includes a computer program product that embodies the method described above. The computer program product is stored in a tangible non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and includes computer instructions for joining a publish group, receiving a group key, determining message availability, encoding messages using the group key, and sending messages. The group key can be received from an asset database and can be a symmetric key used for encryption and decryption.
Overall, this patent presents a system, method, and computer program product for secure communication within a lattice mesh network. By utilizing a group key that includes a shared secret and a public key of an ephemeral keypair, messages can be encoded and sent securely. The use of a symmetric key for encryption and decryption adds an additional layer of security to the communication process.
