Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods and devices system for identifying a misbehaving computerized device. In some implementations, the system includes a cloaking authority device for identifying a misbehaving computerized device, wherein the cloaking authority device includes a processor that can receive a request for a cloak index, wherein the request for the cloak index comprises a linkage value retrieved from a pseudonym certificate. In some examples, the processor can also request, from a pseudonym certificate authority device, first information that is used to produce the cloak index, wherein the first information is associated with the linkage value. Additionally, the processor can process, by the cloaking authority device, the linkage value to produce the cloak index based in part on the first information, wherein the cloak index identifies a misbehaving computerized device. Furthermore, the processor can transmit, by the cloaking authority device, the cloak index to a misbehavior authority device.

Abstract: Systems for secure provisioning and management of computerized devices. The system may include a distributor appliance that is communicatively connected to the computerized device, and that is operable to receive a digital asset and to load the digital asset into the computerized device. It may also include a digital asset management system that is connected via a first secure communication channel to the distributor appliance, and that is operable to generate and conditionally transmit the digital asset to the distributor appliance; and a provisioning controller that is connected via a second secure communication channel to the distributor appliance and is connected via a third secure communication channel to the digital asset management system, and that is operable to direct the digital asset management system to transmit the digital asset to the distributor appliance. The computerized device is not fully functional before the digital asset is loaded into it.

Abstract: A cloaking authority system that securely and anonymously identifies a misbehaving device based on its digital certificate. The system may include a cloaking authority server or device that is communicatively connected to a misbehavior authority server, and may also include a pseudonym certificate authority device, and a registration authority device. The cloaking authority device receives, from the misbehavior authority server, a request for a cloak index, wherein the request for the cloak index includes the linkage value from a PC of a misbehaving computerized device. The cloaking authority device processes the linkage value to produce a cloak index, which identifies the misbehaving computerized device and which is unique and anonymous, and transmits it to the requesting misbehavior authority server. The misbehavior authority server uses the cloak index to identify the specific computerized device that has misbehaved, usually repeatedly.
