Techniques discussed herein relate to providing composable edge devices. In some embodiments, a user request specifying a set of services to be executed at a cloud-computing edge device may be received by a computing device operated by a cloud computing provider. A manifest may be generated in accordance with the user request. The manifest may specify a configuration for the cloud-computing edge device. Another request can be received specifying the same or a different set of services to be executed at another edge device. Another manifest which specifies the configuration for that edge device may be generated and subsequently used to provision the request set of services on that device. In this manner, manifests can be used to compose the platform to be utilized at any given edge device.

Disclosed are various examples for securing the transmission of files to and from a client device. In some examples, an initialization token is identified for a file that includes a number of portions. An algorithm is iteratively applied to the initialization token to determine that no repeated output occurs over a number of iterations corresponding to the number of file portions. Initialization data is transmitted from a client device to a management service that manages access to the file. The initialization token is included in the initialization data if no repeated output occurs when the algorithm is iteratively applied over the number of iterations.

The present invention discloses salts of a Compound 1:

##STR00001##

useful in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, proliferative diseases, allergy, transplant rejection, diseases involving degradation and/or disruption of cartilage homeostasis, congenital cartilage malformations, and/or diseases associated with hypersecretion of IL6 or interferons.

Systems and methods for application level authentication are provided for use with the low energy Bluetooth device and accessory. This includes receiving accessory credentials from a server, establishing a Bluetooth low energy connection with the accessory, authenticating with the accessory, and lastly transferring data to the accessory. The transferring of the data may be either a bulk transfer, or a data stream. The authenticating may be an application layer authentication between a device and the accessory using a shared secret key and using a hash function. Additional embodiments include methods for over-the-air firmware updates, and device control of a low energy Bluetooth accessory.

Embodiments of the present application disclose a method for providing a terminal identifier to a terminal. During operation, a security server receives a registration information set from the terminal, in which the registration information set includes multiple pieces of equipment information from the terminal. The security server then generates a terminal identifier based on the multiple pieces of equipment information in the registration information set. The security server then returns the terminal identifier to the terminal.

In one implementation, a system for a session key repository includes a monitor engine to monitor communication between a first computing device and a second computing device that is encrypted with a private key, an identification engine to determine a number of session keys and session IDs that correspond to the encrypted communication, a rules engine to determine a number of rules for storing and sharing the number of corresponding session keys and session IDs, a repository engine to send a portion of the number of session keys and session IDs to a network tool based on the number of rules and identification of the network tool.

In general, in one aspect, a method includes receiving software code with an invalid characteristic, repeatedly attempting to execute the software code with the invalid characteristic on a device, and in response to successful execution of the software code with the invalid characteristic, taking an action. The action may include an action to remediate the device.

New tokenization tables are derived at intervals in order to increase the security of tokenized data that is transferred between two endpoints. Generation of the new tokenization tables is based on previous tokenization tables, which advantageously allows the generation process to be performed locally at the two endpoints independently of an external tokenization table provider. New tokenization tables can periodically be distributed to the endpoints as a new starting point for derivation.

Device to device (D2D) communication can be performed with packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) based encapsulation without internet protocol (IP) addressing. The non-IP D2D PDCP-encapsulated communication can further include two forms of secure data transfer. A first non-IP D2D PDCP-encapsulated communication can be a negotiated non-IP D2D PDCP-encapsulated communication. A second non-IP D2D PDCP-encapsulated communication can be a non-negotiated non-IP D2D communication. The non-negotiated non-IP D2D PDCP-encapsulated communication can include a common key management server (KMS) version and a distributed KMS version. The encapsulated communication can be used with various protocols, including a PC5 protocol (such as the PC5 Signaling Protocol) and wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) protocols.

The embodiments provide cryptography that is performed in each of two communicating devices and is based on information known only to the devices. The information is determined in each of the devices at the time of communications. Each of the devices determines the information without communicating key information related to the encryption key with each other. Channel characteristic reciprocity between the two devices allows creation of identical keys in each device. Each of the devices sends a first setup signal to the other device, receives a second setup signal from the other device, where the second setup signal may be a looped back version of the first setup signal, samples the second setup generates sampling results, creates a key based on the sampling results, and utilizes the key to exchange one or more secure data signals with the other device.
