A mobile application gateway configured to interconnect mobile communication devices on a cellular network with an enterprise network is provided. The mobile application gateway includes a voice and data signaling gateway configured to provide routing functionalities, service functionalities and admission control. A gateway GPRS support node (GGSN) is configured to establish a secure data session between one or more of the mobile communication devices and the enterprise network by establishing a GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel between a carrier-hosted serving GPRS support node (SGSN) and the GGSN.

A vehicle information service implemented on one or more computers of a service provider network implements a first application programmatic interface (API) that allows a client to define inclusion parameters and a sample size for a fleet of vehicles from which vehicle data is to be collected. The vehicle information service also implements a second API that notifies the client when the requested vehicle data has been collected from the vehicle fleet. Additionally, the vehicle information service provides the client access to the collected vehicle data. The vehicle information service manages the collection of the vehicle data from the client defined vehicle fleet without requiring further client involvement and notifies the client when the collection of the vehicle data is complete.

A communication apparatus includes a first communication unit for unencrypted communication compliant with a first standard for communication, and a second communication unit for encrypted communication compliant with a second standard for communication, In a case where connection information used for the second communication unit to perform encrypted communication with an external apparatus has been received from the external apparatus via the first communication unit, a control unit records the connection information on a recording medium. In a case where connection with the external apparatus has been established via the first communication unit, the control unit determines whether the connection information is currently recorded on the recording medium, and, in a case where it has been determined that the connection information is not currently recorded on the recording medium, the control unit causes a notification unit to issue a notification indicating that the connection information is not currently recorded.

A system for providing an enhanced acknowledgement (ENH-ACK) frame is configured to receive an incoming packet transmitted by an external device, determine that an ENH-ACK response is required based on a MAC header of the incoming packet schedule transmission of the ENH-ACK frame to the external device in accordance with a standard turnaround time limit relative to receipt of the incoming packet, determine contents of one or more packet processed fields of the ENH-ACK frame and populate the one or more packet processed fields, and complete transmission of the ENH-ACK frame with the populated packet processed fields.

A device for secure transmission of vehicle data over vehicle datalinks that may be shared with passenger devices and are connected to a publicly shared network is provided. The device comprises a processor embedded within a portion of an Ethernet cable for a vehicle. A plurality of applications resides in the processor and comprises a VPN application, and a VPN address and certificate update application. A first Ethernet transceiver communicates with the processor through the VPN application and also communicates with onboard electronic equipment. A second Ethernet transceiver communicates with the processor through the VPN application and also communicates with an external datalink. The VPN application automatically establishes a VPN when the datalink is available, provides an authentication certificate to verify that the device is a correct and legitimate node, and verifies a VPN hosting certification to determine whether the device is communicating with a correct and legitimate external facility.

Disclosed herein are a health device, a gateway device, and a method for securing a protocol using the health device and the gateway device. The method includes performing, by the health device and the gateway device, authentication and key exchange based on security session information; sending, by any one of the health device and the gateway device, an application message protected based on the security session information; and receiving, by a remaining one of the health device and the gateway device, the protected application message.

A vehicle is provided that comprises two or more radio frequency (RF) antennas and two or more RF transceivers to communicate wirelessly sensitive information associated with a user of the vehicle (the two or more RF antennas being at different physical locations on an exterior of the vehicle). The vehicle determines which one of the two or more RF antennas is receiving a strongest signal from a common signal source, selects a first RF transceiver associated with the RF antenna with the strongest signal to send the sensitive information associated with the user to the common signal source, and sends the sensitive information associated with the user to the first RF transceiver for transmission to the common signal source.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for location-based automated authentication are disclosed. A system comprises a mobile device, a sensor and a backend platform. The sensor and the backend platform are in network communication. The mobile device is operable to continuously transmit Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals comprising encrypted transitory identifiers. The sensor is operable to receive a BLE signal from the mobile device when the mobile device is within a predetermined range, and communicate over a network connection the encrypted transitory identifier comprised in the BLE signal to the backend platform. The backend platform is operable to extract a unique identifier and a changing encrypted identifier from the received encrypted transitory identifier, generate a changing encrypted identifier, and validate a user identification by comparing the generated changing encrypted identifier and the extracted changing encrypted identifier.
