  • Patent number: 11916924
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure address systems, methods, and devices for enabling secure communication between electronic control units (ECUs) in a vehicle. The system may include a first and second ECU from a plurality of ECUs in the vehicle. The first ECU is to enable secure communication between the plurality of ECUs by performing operations that include provisioning the second ECU with authentication data for authenticating messages exchanged with a third ECU and provisioning the third ECU with a set of security keys to enable the third ECU to securely exchange messages with the second ECU. The second ECU receives, from the third ECU, a secure message that is cryptographically signed using a security key from the set of security keys provisioned to the third ECU, and the second ECU authenticates the secure message by comparing the authentication data with an authentication signal.

  • Patent number: 11853249
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention relates to physical interfaces, especially those used on consumer electronics devices. A processor, in which an embodiment of the disclosed invention is deployed, includes a physical interface for connecting to and communicating with a peripheral device, the peripheral device being configured to operate according to a standard communications protocol or to a different protocol which is adapted to have a more bandwidth-efficient performance. The processor detects which of the two protocols the attached peripheral device uses and configures the physical interface to operate according to the detected protocol. An embodiment of the invention allows for new, bandwidth-efficient communications protocols to be executed across existing standardized physical interface hardware, thereby allowing for easier acceptance of the new protocols within the consumer electronics industry.

  • Publication number: 20230362430
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for processing user interface content. For example, a server computer can receive a user interface event corresponding to a user interface of a device (e.g., a client device, another server computer, or other device). An application associated with the user interface event can be determined, and an interface model can be generated using the application associated with the user interface event. The interface model defines state information for one or more graphic objects of the user interface. The state information results from the user interface event. The server computer can send the interface model to the device, which enables the device to render the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11768643
    Abstract: A consumable can be used to securely send data to devices. A security platform can produce a consumable, for example an ink cartridge, with data to be uploaded onto a device, such as a printer. If the consumable and device can perform a successful authentication, broadcast data can be delivered to the device via the consumable. Such techniques can help ensure that authentic consumables are being used in authentic devise. Further, such techniques can enable a licensing model where different consumables can be configured with different data to enable or disable different features of the device.
