A system and computer-implemented method for providing access to data of a first party including receiving information for identifying the first party, authenticating the first party using the received information for identifying the first party and generating a first read-only personal identification number (PIN). The first read-only PIN is associated with a first set of access rights for the data of the first party and provided to a second party. The first read-only PIN is stored with the first set of access rights in a computer database. A third party receives the first read-only PIN from the second party, authenticates the received first read-only PIN using the stored first read-only PIN and provides the second party with access to at least a portion of the data of the first party using the first set of access rights associated with the first read-only PIN if the received first read-only PIN is authenticated.

Methods, systems, storage media for authentication are described. On the methods includes receiving, at a smart contract on a distributed ledger, a signed authentication challenge. The method includes verifying the identity of the user who signed authentication challenge. The method includes raising an event that indicates that the user has been authenticated; wherein a server listens for events from the smart contract, and associates a session between the browser and the server with the user based on the event.

A wireless communication network serves a wireless user device with a wireless communication service from a wireless network slice that includes a Virtual Network Function (VNF). The VNF maintains hardware-trust with a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger maintains hardware-trust with the VNF. The VNF delivers the wireless communication service to the wireless user device from the wireless network slice. The VNF generates slice data that characterizes the service delivery. When the VNF maintains the hardware-trust with the distributed ledger, the VNF transfers the slice data to the distributed ledger. When the distributed ledger maintains the hardware-trust with the VNF, the distributed ledger stores the slice data.

A UE communicates with a network gateway to access a provisioning device via a provisioning network. The provisioning device uses identification data of the UE to authenticate the UE for a primary network, and provides primary network configuration data to the UE. Using the primary network configuration data, the UE communicates with the network gateway to access the primary network. The primary network configuration data can include data to enable the UE to establish communications with one or more private networks accessible via the primary network.

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 provider system is connected to readers disposed at distances from the provider system. A secure local connection is established between the client device and the provider system via one of the readers. Before the client reaches an access touchpoint, the provider system receives from the client device a request for client access, the provider system sends to the client device a request for identification information of the client, and the client device sends client information associated with a first mobile identification credential (MIC) which the client device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the client having consented to release the client information to the provider system, and the client information having been verified. The provider system uses the verified client information associated with the first MIC to verify or not verify the identity of the client before granting or denying the request to the client.

A method includes obtaining a set of pressure measurements at an electronic pump and storing the set of pressure measurements in a memory storage, where each measurement time of the set of pressure measurements is within a measurement duration. The method includes determining and sending a measure of central tendency to a second computing device via a first wireless signal. The method also includes determining a subset of pressure measurements based on the set of pressure measurements. The method includes transferring the first subset of pressure measurements to a data collection device via a second wireless signal, wherein an operating frequency of the second wireless signal is greater than one gigahertz and deleting the first subset of measurements from the memory storage.

A vehicle includes a storage to store an authority value representing authority to access vehicle data generated by at least one vehicular component and a communicator to transmit the vehicle data and the authority value to a user terminal.
