`
`Research and Professional Experience
`2.
`6. My qualifications for rendering the opinions set forth in this Declaration
`
`are summarized here and further detailed in my curriculum vitae, which
`
`is attached hereto as Exhibit 2002. Also included in that Exhibit is a list
`
`of my 276 scientific publications.
`
`7. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science in 1971 from the
`
`University of Tennessee. I then earned a Master of Science in Computer
`
`Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1973.
`
`Thereafter, I earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of
`
`Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1976.
`
`8. I accepted employment in the Department of Applied Mathematics and
`
`Computer Science within the School of Engineering and Applied Science
`
`(SEAS) at the University of Virginia (UVA) in 1977. I created UVA’s
`
`first ever microcomputer class and laboratory to provide hands-on
`
`experience to our students in what was then a very new and exciting field
`
`of Computer Science (CS). I created UVA’s first class on computer
`
`

`
`networks in 1980 during the early days of the internet’s use by
`
`universities.
`
`9. Computer Science at UVA became an independent department within
`
`SEAS in 1984, and I served as the first Chair of the newly formed CS
`
`department.
`
`10. I created UVA’s first class on electronic commerce in 1995 soon after
`
`America’s first internet browser (Netscape) was introduced as a
`
`commercial product. I taught that e-commerce course yearly until the
`
`ubiquity of e-commerce created sufficient student demand that the course
`
`was thereafter offered every term to 50-70 students per semester. My
`
`course covered the architecture of the internet and World Wide Web, web
`
`programming languages, strategies and technologies for building
`
`electronic commerce websites, computer and network security, e-
`
`commerce security measures, electronic payments, protection of
`
`intellectual property, and entrepreneurship.
`
`11. I was employed continuously at UVA from 1977 until my retirement in
`
`2020. Over my 43 years of employment at UVA I taught more than 25
`
`different courses, including microcomputers, computer networks,
`
`operating systems, computer architecture, electronic commerce, and
`
`
`
`
`

`
`various seminar courses. Moreover, I was the proud graduate advisor for
`
`69 master’s and PhD students, all in Computer Science.
`
`12. In addition to my teaching duties, I was also the Founding Director of
`
`UVa’s Applied Research Institute, a faculty group engaged in research
`
`areas related to national security and funded by both government and
`
`industry. To date, I have published 276 scientific publications, including
`
`16 books and book chapters, 32 refereed journal articles, 148 refereed
`
`conference publications, and 80 technical reports. I have given 87 invited
`
`lectures worldwide plus 25 National Lectures sponsored by ACM
`
`(Association for Computing Machinery), the preeminent professional
`
`organization for computer scientists. For another prominent professional
`
`society, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (“IEEE”), I
`
`have served in numerous capacities within its Computer Society and its
`
`Industrial Electronics Society. I am currently a member of the Editorial
`
`Board for the IEEE Computer Society’s flagship publication, Computer.
`
`13. Within the IEEE, I was awarded the rank of Fellow (an honor awarded to
`
`a maximum of 0.1% of the IEEE membership in any given year) for
`
`contributions to the development of computer communications protocols.
`
`14. I am a prolific researcher, having received over $22M in research
`
`funding, and I have served as Principal Investigator or co-Principal
`
`
`
`

`
`Investigator of 137 research projects funded by the federal government,
`
`state governments, and private industry. Recent research projects include
`
`3D printing, automated analysis of published scientific literature, secure
`
`mobile computing, crowdsourcing, data integrity, and trustworthy
`
`computing.
`
`15. One of my most successful research projects (in terms of funding,
`
`student employment, and social impact) was my participation in a group
`
`of researchers (funded primarily by the U.S. Navy) who developed the
`
`Xpress Transport Protocol. XTP introduced new concepts into the realm
`
`of network communications, primarily reliable multicast data
`
`transmission capabilities. XTP is used by military ships and aircraft for
`
`simultaneous and reliable delivery of sensitive information to multiple
`
`on-board systems, and XTP was subsequently adopted into Military
`
`Standard 2204 (SAFENET, the Survivable Adaptable Fiber Optic
`
`Embedded Network).
`
`16. I have founded five companies. One of these, Network Xpress, Inc., was
`
`a spin-off from my XTP work at UVA. At its peak, another of my
`
`companies, Reliacast, Inc., employed 90 people and developed software
`
`for secure streaming of multimedia transmissions. Reliacast was
`
`ultimately sold to Comcast to power its streaming video products.

`
`17. I have presented papers at numerous conferences and have served as
`
`Program Chair or Technical Program Chair of numerous conferences
`
`around the world. In addition, I was the Keynote Speaker at the
`
`International Workshop on Privacy, Security, and Trust for Mobile
`
`Devices (MobiPST’11), in Maui, Hawaii, in July 2011 on the topic of
`
`“Providing Privacy and Security for Mobile Devices.” I was the Keynote
`
`Speaker at the IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology
`
`(ICIT’05), in Hong Kong, in December 2005 on the topic of “Achieving
`
`Data Privacy and Security Using Web Services.” I was the Keynote
`
`Speaker at the IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies
`
`and Factory Automation (ETFA’05), in Catania, Sicily, Italy, in
`
`September 2005 on the topic of “A Security Architecture for Distributed
`
`Data Security.”
`
`18. I have authored or co-authored numerous refereed papers that have been
`
`published in a variety of different technical journals. For example, with
`
`my Ph.D. students I wrote the papers “Applications of Social Networks
`
`and Crowdsourcing for Disaster Management Improvement,” published
`
`in IEEE Computer, May 2016, and additionally “Crowdsourcing for
`
`Emergency Response” (2016), “Social Networks to the Rescue! The
`
`Power of Crowdsourced Data in Emergency Response” (2015), “m-

`Health Applications for Emergency Response Improvement through
`
`Crowdsourced Information” (2014), and “Mobile Electronic Triaging for
`
`Emergency Response Improvement through Crowdsourced and Sensor-
`
`Detected Information” (2013).
`
`19. I have received funding for some of my research from various
`
`Government agencies. For example, I received funding from the
`
`Department of Defense in connection with my project “Crowdsourcing
`
`the Crisis.” This work dealt with the use of computers, computer
`
`networks, and social media to assist the Government and first responders
`
`during emergency situations.
`
`20. I have been an invited guest lecturer at numerous meetings sponsored by
`
`various corporations around the world. For example, I spoke on “Reliable
`
`Multicast and Reliable Group Management” for a meeting held at Sun
`
`Microsystems in Palo Alto, California in July 1999. I gave a presentation
`
`entitled “Xpress Transport Protocol” at a meeting sponsored by General
`
`Electric Research and Development Laboratory, held in Schenectady,
`
`New York, in December 1996. I was an invited speaker on the topic of
`
`“Medical Data Privacy and Security” at the Microsoft Healthcare Users’
`
`Group meeting in Redmond, Washington in 2006.

`
`21. I served as the Lucian Carr III Professor of Engineering and Applied
`
`Science at UVA from 2002-2004. I was a member of the Provost’s
`
`Promotion and Tenure Committee at UVA during 2003-2006. In addition
`
`to serving as the first Chair of CS at UVA, I also served as Associate
`
`Chair of the CS department from 2015-2020. In 1996-1999 and again in
`
`2012-2015, I served as a member of the Promotion and Tenure
`
`Committee for the School of Engineering and Applied Science at UVA
`
`and chaired that committee during 1998-1999 and 2014-2015.
`
`22. I have also had the opportunity to consult with and/or work in the
`
`commercial sector. For example, I received a $200,000 research grant
`
`from Microsoft for my work in connection with the development of a
`
`solution to the problems associated with the privacy and security of
`
`medical data. In the past, I have consulted for General Electric, Lockheed
`
`Martin, Honeywell, Raytheon, E-Systems and others. As mentioned
`
`above, I founded five companies and have been involved in all aspects of
`
`the life cycles of these companies from raising start-up capital funding, to
`
`designing and developing products, to attempting to commercialize these
`
`products in the marketplace.
`
`23. I have served as an expert witness in 40 intellectual property cases, 38 of
`
`which involved patent infringement allegations. Seven of those cases

`
`interest in, or affiliation with, the Patent Owner or any of the real parties
`
`in interest.
`
`III. MATERIALS CONSIDERED
`26. In providing my technical review, analysis, insights, and opinions, I have
`
`considered the ’046 Patent and its prosecution history.
`
`27. I have also considered the Petition filed by the Petitioner in this
`
`proceeding and the relevant exhibits relied on by Petitioner, including the
`
`expert declaration submitted by Gerald Smith.
`
`28. I have also considered my own experience and knowledge, as discussed
`
`above and described more fully in my CV.
`
`IV. LEGAL PRINCIPLES
`29. I understand that a patent claim is unpatentable as “obvious” if the
`
`subject matter of the claim as a whole would have been obvious to a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art (POSA) as of the time of the invention
`
`at issue.
`
`30. I understand that the use of “the person of ordinary skill” rubric is to
`
`prevent one from improperly, in the present day, using hindsight to
`
`decide whether a claim is obvious.
`
`31. I understand that the following factors must be evaluated to determine
`
`whether the claimed subject matter is obvious: (1) the scope and content
`
`
`
`RFCyber's Exhibit No. 2001, IPR2022-01239
`Page 013
`
`
`
`IPR2022-01239
`PATENT NO. 10,600,046
`
`of the prior art; (2) the difference or differences, if any, between the
`
`scope of the patent claim and the scope of the prior art; and (3) the level
`
`of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention.
`
`32. I understand that certain secondary considerations, such as commercial
`
`success, skepticism of experts, surprise, and copying, may provide
`
`evidence of non-obviousness. I further understand that such
`
`considerations are often the most probative and determinative of
`
`obviousness or non-obviousness.
`
`33. I understand that, unlike anticipation, which allows consideration of only
`
`one item of prior art, obviousness may be shown by considering more
`
`than one item of prior art. I understand that, when considering a
`
`combination of prior art references as part of an obviousness analysis, it
`
`can be important to ascertain if the references are from the same field of
`
`endeavor and also to ascertain whether there is any reason that would
`
`have prompted a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art to combine
`
`the elements in the way the claim does. In other words, a claim generally
`
`cannot be rendered obvious by combining (i) art from across different
`
`fields, including outside the field of the claimed invention, or (ii) art that
`
`itself teaches away from combination with other art that would otherwise
`
`provide its missing limitations, or (iii) art for which there is not at least
`
`
`
`
`
`RFCyber's Exhibit No. 2001, IPR2022-01239
`Page 014
`
`
`
`IPR2022-01239
`PATENT NO. 10,600,046
`
`an articulable, common sense reason to bridge the gap between its
`
`disclosure and the claim at issue.
`
`34. I understand that, to show that a claim would have been obvious over a
`
`combination, the patent challenger must show that a person of ordinary
`
`skill (POSA) would have had a reasonable expectation of successfully
`
`achieving the claimed invention from combination. I understand that a
`
`claim is not obvious just because all of the claimed limitations are present
`
`in the prior art. I understand that there must be some reason, suggestion,
`
`or motivation that would lead one of ordinary skill in the art to combine
`
`the references.
`
`35. Unless the inventor has either defined a term or disclaimed some
`
`interpretation of it, I understand that I must construe a claim term in
`
`accordance with the ordinary and customary meaning of the language of
`
`such claim as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art in view of the
`
`written description and the prosecution history pertaining to the patent.
`
`A. Level of Skill In the Art
`36. I understand that I should perform my analysis from the viewpoint of a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art. I understand that this hypothetical
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art is considered to have the normal skills
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`RFCyber's Exhibit No. 2001, IPR2022-01239
`Page 015
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2022-01239
`PATENT NO. 10,600,046
`
`of a person in a certain technical field. I understand that factors that may
`
`be considered in determining the level of ordinary skill in the art include:
`
`(1) the education level of the inventor; (2) the types of problems
`
`encountered in the art; (3) the prior art solutions to those problems; (4)
`
`rapidity with which innovations are made; (5) the sophistication of the
`
`technology; and (6) the education level of active workers in the field.
`
`37. In my opinion, a person of ordinary skill in the art as to the ’046 Patent
`
`would have a Bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, computer
`
`science, electrical engineering, or a related field, with one year of
`
`experience in the field of mobile payment. Additional education may
`
`substitute for the experience or vice versa.
`
`V. THE ‘046 PATENT
`
`
`38. The ’046 Patent describes methods and apparatuses for secure contactless
`
`payment using mobile devices. The inventors, Xiangzhen Xie, Liang
`
`Seng Koh, and Hsin Pan, recognized that existing payment methods were
`
`inefficient and time-consuming:
`
`For many credit or debit card transactions, the payment process is
`started by a customer asking for a bill when checking out a purchase.
`A cashier or service member brings a bill to the customer for
`verification. The customer then hands out a credit/debit card to the
`
`
`
`RFCyber's Exhibit No. 2001, IPR2022-01239
`Page 016
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2022-01239
`PATENT NO. 10,600,046
`
`service member. The service member brings the card to a Point of
`Sales (POS) counter to initiate a transaction payment. The service
`member then brings back a receipt to the customer for signature to
`authorize the transaction. It is a lengthy process that typically takes a
`couple of minutes or much longer when the service member has to
`take care of multiple payment transactions at a time. In addition, in the
`case for the debit card transactions, the process may be even more
`troublesome when a PIN is needed to authorize the transaction at the
`POS.
`Ex. 1001 (the “’046 Patent”) at 1:25-39.
`
`39. The inventors realized that the growing ubiquity of personal mobile
`
`devices allowed for the use of those devices in sales transactions:
`
`With the advancement in mobile devices, it is anticipated that many
`
`consumers will carry one with them. Thus there is an opportunity of
`
`using a mobile device to quickly settle the payment at a point of sale
`
`(POS).
`
`Id. at 1:40-44.
`
`40. To solve these problems and address these needs, the inventors of the
`
`’046 Patent developed an apparatus and method for using mobile devices
`
`to quickly and efficiently settle payments:
`
`The present invention is related to techniques for mobile devices
`configured to support settlement of charges in electronic invoices or
`
`
`
`RFCyber's Exhibit No. 2001, IPR2022-01239
`Page 017
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2022-01239
`PATENT NO. 10,600,046
`
`bills. According to one aspect of the present invention, a mobile
`device embedded with a secure element generates or is loaded with an
`electronic invoice. When the mobile device is brought to a consumer
`with an NFC mobile device, the data including the electronic invoice
`and other information regarding the mobile device or an owner thereof
`is read off wirelessly into the NFC mobile device. After the user
`verifies the amount being charged and authorizes the payment, the
`NFC mobile device communicates with a payment gateway or
`network for payment that is configured to proceed with the payment
`in accordance with a chosen payment method.
`
`Id. at 1:54-67.
`
`41. The system of the ‘046 Patent makes use of a mobile device with a
`
`locally maintained e-purse and an installed application to capture data
`
`from a tag associated with a POS device, thereby facilitating mobile
`
`payments:

`
`42. The e-purse of the ‘046 Patent facilitates mobile payments, for example,
`
`using an installed application in the form of an applet that is provisioned,
`
`personalized, and installed on the mobile device.

`
`
`
`Id. at Fig. 3C; see also id. at 6:58-7:3, 8:43-53. The e-purse of the ‘046
`
`Patent locally maintains financial information, for example an e-purse
`
`with a personalized applet uses a secure element (“SE”) to maintain
`
`“personalized data for the application … [including] various personalized
`
`transaction keys generated based on the device information (e.g., CPLC
`
`info) of the SE … [and] Mifare access keys derived from an identifier
`
`(ID) of the Mifare card.” Id. at 11:17-28.

`
`VI. THE ALLEGED PRIOR ART
`A. Laracey (U.S. Pat. App. Pub. No. 2011/0251892)
`43. U.S. Patent App. Pub. No. 2011/0251892 (Ex. 1004, “Laracey”) is
`
`directed to “means for using mobile devices to conduct payment
`
`transactions at merchant locations.” Laracey, Abstract. Laracey identified
`
`difficulties in utilizing payment cards “associated with a single payment
`
`account” and in using “RFID chips or tags installed on mobile phones as
`
`a way to allow payment card information to be presented” in conjunction
`
`with “RFID readers installed” at a point of sale. Id. at [0004-5]. Laracey
`
`further identifies an objective of allowing “users to choose among a
`
`variety of payment accounts” for a given transaction irrespective of the
`
`mobile device that they use. Id. at [0024-5] (“Sam has a mobile phone
`
`that has a web browser, and Jane has an Apple iPhone®. Sam will access
`
`and use the payment system of the present invention using his phone’s
`
`browser, while Jane will access and use the payment system of the
`
`present invention by downloading and configuring an iPhone®
`
`application… Using features of the present invention, customers such as
`
`Jane and Sam may use their mobile devices to pay for products or
`
`services at [POS] locations… Embodiments allow users to choose among
`

`

`IPR2022-01239
`PATENT NO. 10,600,046
`
`a variety of payment accounts to use the most appropriate or most
`
`desirable payment account for a given transaction.”) To overcome these
`
`difficulties and address these objectives, Laracey adopts an approach in
`
`which a customer’s financial information is maintained on a server (e.g.,
`
`a Transaction Management System, Customer Management System, or
`
`Payment Account Management System) rather than on a mobile device.
`
`Id. at [0018], [0041], [0116-119], [0133-134].
`
`44. Instead of utilizing locally maintained financial information, Laracey
`
`utilizes a system of authentication based on “checkout tokens” based on
`
`which remotely-stored account or proxy information is accessed during a
`
`transaction. Laracey contemplates “a checkout token printed or otherwise
`
`displayed at a point of sale” which may be obtained by a user’s mobile
`
`device. Id., [0017], [0032]. Obtaining Laracey’s checkout token begins
`
`an authentication process which, if successful, results in a transaction
`
`management system (TMS) sending a “transaction detail message” to the
`
`mobile device. In addition, the TMS may send a “list of payment
`
`accounts the customer has registered with the system, including credit,
`
`debit, checking, prepaid and other types of accounts.” The customer can
`
`then see “a list of their payment accounts they can use to pay the
`
`merchant.” Id. at [0036].

`
`45. Laracey’s mobile device “never stores, sends or receives actual payment
`
`credentials. Instead the mobile device 102 stores or has access to a proxy
`
`associated with actual payment credentials, and the proxy is used to
`
`identify a desired payment account for use in a given transaction.” Id. at
`
`[0041]. The proxy is transmitted to the TMS, and the TMS does a lookup
`
`to identify the actual payment credentials to be submitted to a payment
`
`gateway. Id. at Fig. 6, [0134], [0142-3]. Laracey’s system ultimately
`
`completes a transaction once a payment processing network confirms the
`
`availability of funds, and the transaction management system sends
`
`authorization response messages (i.e., a “merchant payment authorization
`
`response message” and “customer payment authorization response
`
`message”) to the merchant and mobile device respectively. Id. at [0040],
`
`[0062], [0084].

`Jogu (Japanese Patent No. 4901053)
`
`46. Japanese Patent No. 4901053 (Ex. 1005 or “Jogu”) is directed to “a
`
`service that mediates payments at virtual stores and brick-and-mortar
`
`stores on the internet.” Jogu at 3, Technical Field. Jogu identifies

`
`difficulties in conducting mobile payments where a “credit inquiry is
`
`required at the time of payment, and payment data need to be sent,” “in
`
`that it is necessary to emit radio waves at the time of payment, it cannot
`
`be used outside the radio wave range, and it takes time to complete the
`
`payment.” To address these difficulties, Jogu adopts the approach of
`
`“mediating payment between a seller and a buyer” where “[t]he mobile
`
`phone receives and stores the balance of the account sent from the mobile
`
`phone office” “wherein an account for accumulating the user’s money is
`
`set up on the server computer for each user.” Id. at 3, Disclosure of
`
`Invention.
`
`47. Jogu’s system requires that a customer preestablish one or more payment
`
`vehicles with the telephone company, and then prior to any use of the
`
`mobile phone to effect a mobile payment, the customer instructs the
`
`telephone company to transfer some amount of money from one or more
`
`preestablished financial accounts to a virtual account associated with a
`
`customer’s telephone number. Id., Fig. 1; id. at 4, 2. Advance Payment
`
`Method ("As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile phone company (mobile phone
`
`office) 10 is provided with a personal information database 11. The
`
`personal information of each user 12 is registered in the personal
`
`information database 11. Specifically, a virtual account 110 is set up to

`
`companies)… the user 12 uses the mobile phone 13 to transmit the
`
`desired prepaid amount and the payment method (here, “added to the call

`
`a prepayment against future purchases.

`VII. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`50. I understand that the Petitioner has argued that the term e-purse should be
`
`construed as “software that stores electronic financial information,
`
`including electronic value, in a local portable device.” I understand that
`
`Patent Owner has submitted that “e-purse” should be construed as
`
`“software that stores electronic financial information in a local device.” I
`
`further understand that two district courts have adopted Patent Owner’s
`
`construction.
`
`51. While I agree that Patent O
