`
`Background
`
`15.
`
`The claims of the Patents-in-Suit disclose a novel and unconventional means of
`
`improving the privacy and security of digital information on a digital device using a unique
`
`microprocessor identity device, which is used to create a unique digital identity for the user. The
`
`combination of the unique microprocessor identity and digital identity for the user can be used to
`
`secure communications between parties and grant various levels of permission, as well as
`
`authenticate the identity of the users. See, e.g., Exhibit 1 at 1:13-17.
`
`16.
`
`Claim 1 of the ’497 Patent is representative. Claim 1 states:
`
`1. A digital identity device, comprising:
`
` a
`
` microprocessor comprising a microprocessor identity that uniquely identifies the
`microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor comprises an on-die Programmable Read-
`Only Memory (PROM) and the microprocessor identity is etched into the PROM;
`
`digital identity data, wherein the digital identity data identifies an owner of the digital
`identity device, wherein the digital identity data comprises a name of the owner;
`
` a
`
` memory configured to store at least the digital identity data, wherein the microprocessor
`identity is an alpha-numeric value, and
`
`wherein the digital identity data is bound to the microprocessor identity by encrypting the
`digital identity data using an algorithm that uses the microprocessor identity.
`
`Under claim 1 of the ’497 Patent, the microprocessor is uniquely identified using an alpha-
`
`
`
`numeric value that is etched, or programmed, into a programmable read-only memory or PROM.
`
`Further, the digital identity data corresponding to the user or owner is encrypted using an algorithm
`
`that uses the unique microprocessor identity. In other words, the unique microprocessor identity
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00058-ADA Document 1 Filed 05/03/21 Page 5 of 15
`
`can be used as a cipher to protect the owner’s identity and authenticate the user, thereby permitting
`
`authorized used of the device.
`
`17.
`
`Claim 1 of the ’008 Patent states:
`
`1. A microprocessor identity device, comprising:
`
`
`a microprocessor;
`
`microprocessor identity information that uniquely identifies the microprocessor
`identity device
`
`digital identity data that identifies an owner of the microprocessor identity device;
`and
`
`and a memory operatively connected to the microprocessor and configured to store
`the digital identity data and the microprocessor identity information,
`
`wherein the digital identity data is bound to the microprocessor identity device by
`encoding, using the microprocessor, the digital identity data using an algorithm that
`uses the microprocessor identity information.
`
`
`Claim 5 of the ’895 states:
`
`5. A microprocessor identity device, comprising:
`
`
`a microprocessor;
`
`microprocessor identity information that uniquely identifies the microprocessor
`identity device;
`
`and digital identity data that identifies an owner of the microprocessor identity
`device, the digital identity data being bound to the microprocessor identity device,
`wherein the digital identity data includes a password provided by the owner, and
`wherein the digital identity data is bound to the microprocessor identity device using
`an encryption algorithm and the microprocessor identity information.
`
`
`Claim 1 of the ’948 patent discloses a similar invention tied to biometric information. The claim
`
`1. A digital identity device comprising:
`
` a
`
` microprocessor, wherein microprocessor identity information uniquely identifies the
`microprocessor;
`
`5
`
`states:
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00058-ADA Document 1 Filed 05/03/21 Page 6 of 15
`
`
`digital identity data that identifies an owner of the digital identity device,
`
`wherein the digital identity data is bound to the microprocessor by encrypting, using
`the microprocessor, the digital identity data using an algorithm that uses the
`microprocessor identity information,
`
`wherein the microprocessor reads the digital identity data,
`
`wherein the digital identity data comprises an owner's biometric information, and
`
`wherein the owner's biometric information comprises a fingerprint.
`
`18.
`
`Uniquely identifying the microprocessor and then creating a unique digital identity
`
`wherein the digital identity is bound to the microprocessor using encryption, among other aspects
`
`of the invention, provides a novel approach to securing digital transactions. The microprocessor
`
`identity is unique to that device and distinguishes that device from others like it in the world. See,
`
`e.g., Ex. 1 at 3: 63-65.
`
`19.
`
`Apple infringes at least claim 1 of the ’497 Patent, claim 1 of the ’008 Patent, claim
`
`5 of the ’895 Patent, and claim 1 of the ’948 Patent by making, using, selling, offering for sale,
`
`and/or importing into the United States products that incorporate Apple’s Secure Enclave.
`
`Attached as Exhibits 5-8 are claim charts showing infringement by Apple’s Secure Enclave
`
`processor of at least one claim from each of the Patents-in-Suit.
`
`20.
`
` “The Secure Enclave is a system on chip (SoC) that is included on all recent iPhone,
`
`iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and HomePod devices, and on a Mac with Apple silicon as well as those
`
`with the Apple T2 Security Chip. … The Secure Enclave also provides the foundation for the secure
`
`generation and storage of the keys necessary for encrypting data at rest, and it protects and evaluates the
`
`biometric data for Touch ID and Face ID.” See https://support.apple.com/guide/security/hardware-
`
`security-overview-secf020d1074/1/web/1. Apple describes the Secure Enclave as “a hardware-based
`
`key manager that’s isolated from the main processor to provide an extra layer of security.” See
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00058-ADA Document 1 Filed 05/03/21 Page 7 of 15
`
`https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/certificate_key_and_trust_services/keys/storing_k
`
`eys_in_the_secure_enclave. Apple described the benefits of using the Secure Enclave to developers:
`
`“When you store a private key in the Secure Enclave, you never actually handle the key, making it
`
`difficult for the key to become compromised. Instead, you instruct the Secure Enclave to create the key,
`
`securely store it, and perform operations with it. You receive only the output of these operations, such as
`
`encrypted data or a cryptographic signature verification outcome.” Id.
`
`21.
`
`The Secure Enclave was introduced as part of the Apple A7 processor in the iPhone 5S
`
`in September 2013. Since then, several Apple Products have used the Secure Enclave, namely:
`
`•
`
`•
`
`iPhone 5S and later
`
`iPad Air or later
`
`• MacBook Pro computers with TouchBar that contain the Apple T1 Chip
`
`•
`
`Intel-based Mac computers that contain the Apple T2 Security Chip
`
`• Mac computers with Apple silicon
`
`• Apple TV HD or later
`
`• Apple Watch Series 1 or later
`
`• HomePod and HomePod mini
`
`(“the
`
`Infringing
`
`Products”).
`
`https://support.apple.com/guide/security/secure-enclave-
`
`sec59b0b31ff/web. Apple leverages the Secure Enclave in several applications and features. For
`
`example, the Secure Enclave plays a role in managing the authentication process and enabling
`
`payment transaction to proceed in Apple Pay. https://support.apple.com/guide/security/apple-pay-
`
`component-security-sec2561eb018/1/web/1. With Apple’s Touch ID security:
`
`When the fingerprint sensor detects the touch of a finger, it triggers the advanced
`imaging array to scan the finger and sends the scan to the Secure Enclave.
`Communication between the processor and the Touch ID sensor takes place over a
`serial peripheral interface bus. The processor forwards the data to the Secure
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`

`Case 1:22-cv-00058-ADA Document 1 Filed 05/03/21 Page 8 of 15
`
`Enclave but can’t read it. It’s encrypted and authenticated with a session key that’s
`negotiated using a shared key provisioned for each Touch ID sensor and its
`corresponding Secure Enclave at the factory.
`
`https://support.apple.com/guide/security/touch-id-and-face-id-security-sec067eb0c9e/1/web/1.
`
`
`22.
`
`Similarly, Face ID data is sent to the Secure Enclave. “A portion of the Secure Neural
`
`Engine—protected within the Secure Enclave—transforms this data into a mathematical representation
`
`and compares that representation to the enrolled facial data.” Id.
`
`23.
`
`Security of computers and mobile devices is paramount. As mobile devices and
`
`computers (including smart watches and tablets) have come to dominate our daily lives, the need
`
`to keep them secure becomes ever more critical. “Mobile security involves protecting portable
`
`devices such as laptops, tablets, smart watches, and phones against cyber threats. Today, the need
`
`for protection is more critical because we store a lot of sensitive data on these devices. Studies
`
`show that mobile banking is one of the top three most used apps by Americans. The case is similar
`
`in other countries especially in the developing and emerging markets. Most individuals and small
`
`businesses also use their smartphones and laptops to login into their emails and social media pages.
`
`With each day that passes, we are adding some data to our digital footprints through our mobile
`
`devices,
`
`making
`
`it
`
`easy
`
`for
`
`hackers
`
`to
`
`target
`
`us.”
`
`See
`
`https://www.whatmobile.net/Opinion/article/mobile-security-important.
`
`24.
`
`As another reporter put it, “Having a mobile phone has become a large part of our
`
`everyday life. Many underestimate the value a phone truly holds when it comes to the information
`
`it stores. Your phone has your entire life on it.” https://blog.rsisecurity.com/importance-of-mobile-
`
`security/. This is not an exaggeration. In addition to email and social media accounts, mobile
`
`phones and computers contain sensitive personal and financial information as well as applications
`
`that permit users to access their bank accounts, credit card accounts, and mobile payment options.
`
`That data must be protected.

`
`25.
`
`The claimed invention makes it more difficult for hackers to obtain sensitive
`
`information by, among other benefits, providing protection that is linked to the device’s hardware,
`
`e.g., the processor, which is given its own unique identifier. From there, the unique identifier can
`
`be used as a key against which other identifiers can be checked, encrypted, or otherwise protected.

`data that identify the owner of the device, including the name of the owner, which can be the name
`
`of an individual, the name of a company or organization, or other identifying data. The digital
`
`identity data is bound to the Secure Enclave’s unique ID by encrypting the data with a key
`
`entangled with the unique ID. The Secure Enclave reads the digital identity data, which comprises
`
`biometric information, i.e., fingerprint data. The foregoing description is based on publicly
`
`available information and a reasonable investigation of the structure and operation of the Infringing
`
`Products. Plaintiff reserves the right to modify this description, including, for example, on the basis
`
`of information about the Infringing Products that it obtains during discovery.
