  • Publication number: 20220027894
    Abstract: Technologies for device commissioning include a rendezvous server to receive, from a buyer device, a request to transfer ownership of a compute device to the buyer device. The rendezvous server verifies the provenance of the compute device based on a block chain and establishes a secure session with the compute device in response to verification of the provenance. The block chain identifies each transaction associated with ownership of the compute device.

  • Patent number: 10997141
    Abstract: An appliance includes a processor, a medium, a registration application, and a monitoring application. The registration application includes instructions in the medium that, when read and executed by the processor, configure the registration application to write a transaction identifier to a start message, the transaction identifier identifying the appliance, write a dataset of interest identifier to the start message, and send the start message to a database. The dataset of interest identifies a group of appliances including the appliance. The monitoring application includes instructions in the medium that, when read and executed by the processor, configure the monitoring application to monitor operations executed on the appliance, write data resulting from the operations to a data message, and send the data message anonymously to the database. The data message is signed with a member key associated with the group of appliances.

  • Patent number: 10833863
    Abstract: A computing device is provisioned to be remotely managed by a current owner. The device has an initial cryptographic basis of trust, and an owner identifier that facilitates establishment of communication with the current owner of the device. The ownership may change one or more times while the device may remain inoperative. Later, the device receives a transfer-of-ownership indication, which it verifies against the initial basis of trust to establish a new current owner. The device may then communicate with a device management service of the new current owner based on the transfer-of-ownership indication.

  • Patent number: 10482446
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to couple to a terminal, verify an account with an account institution using Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA), and request an action related to the account using DAA. In an example, the DAA is accomplished using enhanced privacy identification (EPID). The account institution can be a banking institution, and the requested action can be to add an electronic representation of monetary funds to the account. In another example, the device is a payment card, the terminal is a point of sale terminal, and the requested action is related to a sale of goods or services.

  • Publication number: 20190158461
    Abstract: A custody transfer of a device can include sending a start of transfer request to an attestation device over a short range wireless communication channel, a nonce is received from the attestation device in association with the start of transfer request, and the nonce is signed at the particular gateway device. The signed nonce is sent to the attestation device, a transfer confirmation message is received from the attestation device, and a transfer message is sent to a management system to report a transfer in custody of the attestation device involving the particular gateway device and another gateway device.

  • Patent number: 10044696
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes at least one processor device, an energy storage module to power the apparatus, memory to store a secret such that powering down and restarting the apparatus causes the secret to be lost, logic executable by the at least one processor device to generate attestation data using the secret that data abstracts the secret, and a communications interface to send the attestation data to another device.

  • Publication number: 20180183861
    Abstract: Cloud container resource binding and tasking using keys is generally described herein. An exemplary device to perform a transaction with a peer device includes a server having a transaction resource finite state automaton (FSA) to perform the transaction. The transaction resource includes a current state property identifying a current state and a state graph property defining a protocol for the transaction. The example device may further include a client having a transaction engine to interface with the transaction resource to post messages to the peer device based on the current state property and the state graph property.
