Crunchfish AB, a tech company based in Sweden, has recently applied for a crucial patent that could revolutionize the way mobile client/server systems handle offline use cases. This patent aims to protect the implementation of device-agnostic trusted client applications in any mobile client/server system, providing various benefits across multiple market segments.
The patent, if approved, will be valid for an extensive period of 20 years, extending until May 2044. The potential impact of this patent is significant, as it could enhance the security, performance, and scalability of client/server systems by introducing trusted client applications that can handle data securely both offline and online.
According to Crunchfish’s CEO Joachim Samuelsson, the company’s pioneering technology enables server security to be complemented by trust in client applications. This unique approach ensures that data is handled securely during execution, storage, and transit, offering end-to-end encryption between clients and servers for enhanced confidentiality and integrity.
Crunchfish’s platform for device-agnostic trusted client applications has already identified two key implementations: Digital Cash for offline payments and the App-integrated Card Emulations (ACE) for tokenized card payments. These initiatives represent just the beginning, with plans for additional mobile client/server applications in various sectors, including generative AI, mobile gaming, media consumption, and identification.
By leveraging device-agnostic trusted client applications, companies can streamline their operations, improve user experience, and explore new commercial opportunities in a wide range of industries. The patent application marks a crucial step towards advancing innovation in mobile technologies and paving the way for more secure, reliable, and efficient client/server systems in the future.
