Abstract: A vehicle monitoring device (VMO) in accordance with the invention comprises a microprocessor programmed to simulate a vehicle's powertrain, that is arranged to receive signals from a vehicle's engine management system to produce a real-time simulated model of the vehicle's powertrain operation when the vehicle's actual instantaneous fuel consumption and/or emissions can be accurately predicted during operation of the vehicle and compared with predetermined or calculated performance characteristics for the powertrain under the pertaining conditions in order to display the instantaneous operating conditions in relation to the optimum under any driving condition. The VMO is advantageously arranged to receive the signals from the on-board diagnostics (OBO or OBO-II or equivalent) port. The VMO is preferably programmed so that the performance coefficient is used to calculate the instantaneous and/or cumulative quantity or percentage of fuel wasted as a result of non-optimum operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to antimalware scanning, and more particularly to offline antimalware scanning of a host environment via an alternate, known safe operating system. An offline scanning product obtains data previously written by the host environment online antimalware scanning tool, e.g., configuration data and antimalware signatures in shared data stores accessible to the offline and online products, and uses that data to perform the offline antimalware scan. The offline scanning product writes results information and any quarantined files to other shared data stores, whereby the online environment, when rebooted, has access to the information, such as for review and to upload telemetry information to an online service for analysis. Also described is offline replacement of operating system files that cannot be cleaned or removed when online.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for detecting mismatch of ciphering parameters, such as Count-C, in a wireless device and recovery therefrom. The methods and apparatus for detection include examining a predefined ciphered field, such as a Length Indicator field, in one or more received Radio Link Control (RLC) Protocol Data Units (PDUs). Next, a determination of when the field is invalid over a predetermined sample number of PDUs is performed. Mismatch of ciphering parameters can then be determined when a predetermined number of samples of the field detected as invalid exceed a predetermined threshold. Additionally, recovery of PDUs after mismatch detections is disclosed using a range of Hyper-Frame Numbers (HFNs) to decipher buffered PDUs, and then check which of the HFNs eliminate the parameter mismatch by again determining if parameter mismatch occurs using the methods and apparatus for detection.

Abstract: A rich client performs single sign-on (SSO) to access a web- or cloud-based application. According to the described SSO approach, the rich client delegates to its native application server the task of obtaining a credential, such as a SAML assertion. The native server, acting on behalf of the user, obtains an assertion from a federated identity provider (IdP) that is then returned to the rich client. The rich client provides the assertion to a cloud-based proxy, which presents the assertion to an identity manager to attempt to prove that the user is entitled to access the web- or cloud-based application using the rich client. If the assertion can be verified, it is exchanged with a signed token, such as a token designed to protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). The rich client then accesses the web- or cloud-based application making a REST call that includes the signed token. The application, which recognizes the request as trustworthy, responds to the call with the requested data.

Abstract: Techniques are described for reducing time to decrypt a next encrypted frame in a content stream by optimizing a license/key acquisition process. When requesting content, a key identifier and/or license identifier may be included within a webpage using a link, script, or similar access point. When a client device sends a request for content, the loading of the webpage within the client device includes the embedded key identifier. Access to the key/license identifier at the client device then may initiate a key/license acquisition process by the client device. The key/license may be obtained from a key management device in parallel with, or prior to, downloading of at least a portion of the content stream.
