  • Publication number: 20230421554
    Abstract: Examples for identification and authentication of hardware. Techniques may include receiving a node identifier during an initial phase of the node. The node identifier may include an initial unique identifier of the node. The node may receive a latest change identifier during a phase change of the node, wherein the phase change may cause a hierarchical change of the node. The latest change identifier is configured to incorporate a latest unique identifier corresponding to a latest system and one or more unique identifiers corresponding to one or more earlier systems of the node. Further, responsive to the reception of the latest change identifier, delete an earlier change identifier, and the node may send the second change identifier to a management service, in response to a request for authentication of the node by the management service.

  • Publication number: 20230421389
    Abstract: A process includes communicating by a first device, with a second device. The communicating includes the first device receiving data from the second device that represents a certificate. The certificate binds a hierarchy of logical identifiers to a cryptographic key. The hierarchy of identifiers includes a first logical identifier that corresponds to a group membership. The process includes authenticating, by the first device, the second device based on the certificate. The process includes allowing, by the first device, a secure connection to be set up between the first device and the second device based on whether the first logical identifier represents that the second device is a member of a first group of devices of which the first device is a member.

  • Patent number: 11803481
    Abstract: A method for anonymizing documents before publication is provided. The method includes identifying regular expressions configured to match strings to be anonymized in a document, selecting a readable identifier as an anonymized reference for a string replacement, searching the document for a match string that fits the regular expression, hashing the match string using a collision resistant, deterministic, non-inverting cryptographic hashing function, and comparing a cryptographic hash of the match string with a database including multiple previous hashes and multiple corresponding readable identifiers. When none of the previous hashes matching the cryptographic hash, the method includes creating a new database record including the cryptographic hash, incrementing a counter in the readable identifier and associating the readable identifier with the new database record, and replacing the match string with the readable identifier, throughout the document.

  • Publication number: 20230311724
    Abstract: A vehicle including a passenger compartment and a cargo area extending from the passenger compartment. The cargo area includes a cargo bed having a support surface. A mid-gate includes a first surface exposed to the passenger compartment and a second surface exposed to the cargo area. The mid-gate is pivotally connected relative to the cargo bed between a first position wherein the mid-gate separates the cargo area from the passenger compartment and a second position wherein the second surface forms part of the support surface.

  • Publication number: 20220085983
    Abstract: In some examples, a storage system includes a controller to receive a request for a data encryption key from the host system, in response to the request, retrieve, from a key manager system, the data encryption key for the host system, and encrypt the data encryption key retrieved from the key manager system using a first key, to produce an encrypted data encryption key. The controller sends the encrypted data encryption key to the host system, and receives, from the host system, encrypted data encrypted using the data encryption key.

  • Publication number: 20220035575
    Abstract: In some examples, a computer receives a command to transport a storage cartridge in a storage system from a physical storage slot to a storage drive, and determines whether the storage cartridge is associated with a restricted transport indication set by a configuration operation in the storage system. In response to determining that the storage cartridge is associated with the restricted transport indication, the computer checks for an indication of receipt of an access secret information, and denies processing of the command to transport the storage cartridge if the indication of receipt of the access secret information is not present.

  • Patent number: 10654088
    Abstract: An outlet cutter for cutting an outlet opening in an eavestrough has a frame including a trough opening therein arranged to receive the eavestrough therethrough. A female die including a die opening is supported on the frame directly below the trough opening so as to be arranged to be located directly below an eavestrough received through the trough opening. A male die is supported on the frame so as to be movable relative to a female die between a disengaged position spaced above the female die and a punching position fully received within the die opening in the female die using a screw. The frame is self-supported on the eavestrough for sliding. The male die has four corner portions, each formed by two side cutting edges which are sloped downwardly and outwardly towards a respective apex, with two opposed apexes protruding beyond a remainder of the die.

  • Patent number: 7739807
    Abstract: A gauge device for use with a staple gun serves to align the staple gun relative to building siding to dispense a two prong staple from a head of the staple gun into one of a plurality of fastener apertures in siding members of the building siding. The gauge device comprises a pair of flanges arranged to depend from laterally opposed sides of the head of the staple gun at a location such that abutment of one of the flanges below a lock edge channel of a siding member locates one prong of the two prong staple to be in alignment with one of the fastener apertures and locates the other prong of the two prong staple above the top free edge of a nailing flange of the siding member.
