Emergency lockdown in a local network of interconnected devices
Systems, methods, and devices are described herein for executing a lockdown of electronic locks deployed in a local network of interconnected devices. In example implementations, each electronic lock is provided with a unique encryption key specific to that electronic lock and is provided with a shared encryption key. To execute a lockdown of all electronic locks in the local network, a server generates a locking instruction and encrypts it using the shared encryption key. The server then transmits the encrypted locking instruction to the gateway devices of the local network which, in turn, transmit it to each of the electronic locks. Upon receipt of the encrypted locking instruction, the electronic locks attempt to decrypt it using the shared encryption key. Upon successful decryption of the encrypted locking instruction, an electronic lock toggles to a lock state.
Digital asset modeling
A system and method are provided for modeling and interpreting a modeled digital asset and its evolution with respect to the rights of a plurality of parties, the method comprising: executing an await function instance no more than once using one of at least one choice defined therein for disposition of the digital asset with respect to the rights of at least one of the plurality of parties, said await function instance incorporated upon the consent of the affected parties to fulfil a configured function instance associated with the at least one choice; executing an agree function instance that requires the consent of at least one of the plurality of parties to execute; and storing the results of the executed function instances in an append-only ledger.
DNS-based public key infrastructure for digital object architectures
One embodiment of the present application sets forth a computer-implemented method for establishing trust for handles used to identify digital objects in a digital object architecture (DOA) by associating a first attester identifier with a first attester from a trusted public key infrastructure (PKI), identifying a first digital object public key for a first digital object, generating, by the first attester, a first digital object identity attestation that associates the first digital object public key with a handle identifier for the first digital object, wherein the handle identifier is external to the trusted PKI, and generating a first attester identity attestation attesting that the first attester is authentic, where the first attester identity attestation includes the first attester identifier.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING TRUST FOR SECURE COMMUNICATIONS
In a trust framework that enables secure communication, a configurer establishes an initial set of potential trusted relationships between a client and one or more anchors associated with one or more hosts. Once configured, the client can use a trusted relationship to securely communicate with a host without reliance on trusted third parties.
Methods and systems for a digital trust architecture
In some aspects, methods and systems for a digital trust architecture are provided. In some aspects, the architecture includes a user account provisioning process. The provisioning process may make use of in person verifications of some personal information to ensure authenticity of the user information. Once the authenticity of user information is established, an account may be created. The user account may include a user email account, with integrated access to digital certificates linked to the user account. Account creation may also automatically publish the new user's public key in a publicly accessible directory, enabling encrypted email information to be easily sent to the new user.
Using keys with targeted access to the blockchain to verify and authenticate identity
Systems and methods for accessing credentials from a blockchain are provided. A computing device requests for a server to process a transaction. In response to the request, the server transmits a server public key to the computing device. A key generator of the computing devices uses the user private key and the server public key to generate a user public key. The user public key includes permissions to access credentials that are stored on blockchain. The server receives the user public key and generates a request for credentials to blockchain. The request includes the user public key and the server private key. The blockchain receives the request and generates an identity token. The identity token includes credentials that are specified in the user public key. The blockchain transmits the identity token to the server and the server uses the identity token to processes the transaction.
Managing cryptographically secure exchanges of data using permissioned distributed ledgers
The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that manage cryptographically secure exchanges of data using a permissioned distributed ledger. For example, an apparatus may obtain parameter data and additional content associated with a data exchange. The apparatus may generate first data that includes at least a portion of the additional content accessible to a first computing system, and may generate second data that includes at least a portion of the parameter data. The apparatus may provide the first data to a peer computing system, which records encrypted information associated with the first data within an element of a distributed ledger accessible at the first computing system. The apparatus may also provide the second data to a second computing system, which executes the data exchange in accordance with at least the portion of the parameter data.
System and method for secure content streaming, governance, fraud prevention, and the embedding artificial intelligence into content
An automated system configured for streamed contents, to be self-aware in preventing fraudulent tactics, during real-time and offline usages, while communicating with its owner for accurate decision making, comprising: a content player module, and a content streaming service module; configured using a codec module to embed logic, encryptions, heuristics data, associated meta data, and management data into the content format; configured to use symmetric encryption keys, public keys, biometrics, and payload data; configured to authenticate the user and content owner; configured to request, receive, send, stream content, and analytics through a secure communication; configured to provide secure virtual communications between users and content owners; configured to use a call-home data, to enable the content and content owner to communicate and update one another securely; Configured to provide real-time, and offline, fraud prevention heuristics using artificial intelligence.
System and method for establishing dynamic trust credentials for network functions
Systems and methods leverage trust anchors to generate tokens which can then be used by network functions (NFs). A virtualization infrastructure manager (VIM) for a virtualized platform receives a NF software package and a certificate request token (CRT) from a management function. The NF is a virtual NF, a containerized NF, or another virtual entity (xNF) to be deployed. The CRT is digitally signed by the management function and includes a network address of a trust anchor platform and a NF profile. The VIM deploys the NF and provides the CRT to the NF. The NF obtains from the CRT the network address of the trust anchor platform, generates a certificate signing request (CSR) for a digital certificate, and submits the CSR and the CRT to the trust anchor platform. The NF receives a digital certificate from the trust anchor platform based on validation of both the CSR and CRT.
EMBEDDED UNIVERSAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CARD (eUICC) PROFILE CONTENT MANAGEMENT
A mobile network operator (MNO) uses a provisioning server to update or install profile content in a profile or electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM). In an exemplary embodiment, the profile is present on a secure element such as an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) in a wireless device. One or more MNOs use the provisioning server to perform profile content management on profiles in the eUICC. In some embodiments, an MNO has a trust relationship with the provisioning server. In some other embodiments, the MNO does not have a trust relationship with the provisioning server and protects payload targeted for an MNO-associated profile using an over the air (OTA) key.
