A method in an example embodiment includes creating an initial information package for a device attempting to join a network domain of a network environment; communicating the initial information package to a signing authority; sending an authorization token generated by the signing authority to the device, wherein the device validates the authorization token based on a credential in the device; and receiving an audit history report of the device, wherein the audit history report comprises information regarding previous attempts by the device to join the network environment. The method may also include applying a policy to the device based on the audit history report; generating a completed information package, wherein the completed information package includes an authorization token; applying a second signature to the completed information package; and sending the authorization token and the completed information package to the device, the device validating the second signature on the completed information package.

The invention provides a method for coupling a smart home device to a mobile terminal, comprising the following features: the smart home device (10, 20, 30) is connected to a server (40) via a source NAT router (14, 24, 34); the mobile terminal (12, 22, 32) is connected to the server (40) via the same source NAT router (14, 24, 34); the server (40) compares a public network address of the smart home device (10, 20, 30) with a public network address of the mobile terminal (12, 22, 32); and where the public network addresses match, the server (40) forwards an identification feature of the smart home device (10, 20, 30) to the mobile terminal (12, 22, 32).

The invention also provides a corresponding server, a corresponding computer program and a corresponding storage medium.

Disclosed are systems and methods for eliminating vulnerabilities of smart devices connected to a data network. An example method includes: identifying a router providing access to the data network, obtaining access to the network and transmitting a request through the data network to obtain access to a smart device on the network. Furthermore, the method includes accessing the smart device to obtain its settings, comparing the settings with known vulnerabilities, determining an action for repairing the a network vulnerability associated with the settings of the device, and transmitting instructions to the smart device to perform the action to repair network vulnerability associated with the setting.

Exemplary embodiments relate to a Health Care Fraud Waste and Abuse predictive analytics projects sharing network where analytic models can be shared and used directly with minimum changes. The shared/passed Models and Rules on the network are directly applied to datasets from different customers by mapping and creating useful results electronically within a healthcare claims space. A drag-and-drop graphical user interface simplifies the creation of models by associating one or more data sources with one or more pre-defined plug-and-play application graphically.

A method includes automatically detecting an association between members based on their relationship to one another; sharing topology and cluster information between the members; and determining roles for each member, based on the topology and cluster information and rules, wherein the roles are used to automatically provision at least one resource on each member, without user intervention. A method of configuring network devices sharing a pool of available resources is also described, wherein the network devices have management connectivity between one another through a plurality of point-to-point connections. The method includes, after a point-to-point connection in the management connectivity is formed based on cabling of associated network devices, determining a resource index number for each of the associated network devices; and uniquely assigning the resources from the pool to each of the network devices based on their respective resource index number.

A method and system for architecture analysis on IT assets of an enterprise is provided. An asset information of an enterprise is received. The asset information is associated with information of a plurality of Information Technology (IT) assets utilized in the enterprise. Interdependency of IT assets among the plurality of IT assets is determined. The interdependency is determined based at least in part, on similarity of one or more lines of codes of plurality of IT assets. A dependency map of the plurality of IT assets is determined based on the interdependency of IT assets among the plurality of IT assets.

The mobile device connection device includes a USB port connected to a mobile device and a communication module for wireless communication with a WiFi access point (AP), and the mobile device connection device performs wireless communication through the WiFi AP. Instant plugging and unplugging can be achieved, the distance limitation can also be overcome, and the user experience is good.

The present invention provides a removable device, adapted to connect to a head unit of a vehicle and comprising: a first communication module configured for bi-directional communication of data with the head unit; a second communication module configured for bi-directional communication of data with a wireless network, in particular a mobile telecommunication network; a memory unit storing an application programming interface (API) implementing at least a first protocol for the communication with the head unit via the first communication module; and a control unit comprising at least one processing unit adapted to execute the API; wherein the control unit is configured to provide at least one service to the head unit via the first communication module.

An example branch gateway includes processing circuitry, memory including instructions, and a plurality of ports. The branch gateway transmits, from a plurality of ports, a first broadcast message. The branch gateway receives, in response to the first broadcast message, response messages on respective ports. The branch gateway determines, based on a receipt order of the response messages, an identifying address from a first response message. The branch gateway assigns the respective port for each response message to a unique VLAN. The branch gateway determines, for each port assigned to a unique VLAN, a link health parameter. The branch gateway selects a primary port to connect to an activation server of a WAN. The branch gateway selects a secondary port to connect to the activation server.

A method for commissioning a communication gateway with a portable device in a transportation system includes the steps of: establishing a communication connection from the portable device to the communication gateway of the transportation system; transmitting configuration data from the portable device to the communication gateway using the established communication connection, wherein the configuration data includes a gateway identifier identifying the transportation system; establishing a further communication connection from the communication gateway to a server unit using the configuration data; and initiating a communication gateway software deployment from the server unit to the communication gateway using the established further communication connection for commissioning the communication gateway in the transportation system.
