  • Patent number: 11543941
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for managing intelligent content queuing from a secondary device for content delivery to a primary device. A content queuing system on the secondary device generates and displays a playlist interface on the secondary device. A selection of a content item to be added to a playlist is received. The content queuing system determines that addition of the content item causes a live content item to overlap with an on-demand content item on the playlist. As a result, the content queuing system creates at least two segments for the on-demand content item. The live content item is positioned between the first and a second segment on the playlist. The first segment is scheduled to end at a start time of the live content item and the second segment is scheduled to begin at an ending time of the live content item.

  • Patent number: 11546135
    Abstract: Methods, system and devices are provided that generate a sequence of sub-keys for cryptographic operations from a main key. The main key is operated on only once to generate the sub-keys of the sequence, with a transformation comprising one or more one-way functions. The respective bit values of the sub-keys of the sequence are set using respective bit values of the one or more one-way functions. Advantageously, deriving sub-key bits from respective output bits of one or more one-way functions removes or at least reduces correlations between the main key and the sub-keys, as well as between sub-keys, making it harder or even impossible to recover the main key or other sub-keys from a single sub-key, for example as found using a side-channel attack.

  • Publication number: 20220407869
    Abstract: Malware detection logic executed by a secured device residing in a home network may receive a message from an unsecured device of a first unsecured network and intended for a destination device of the home network, the destination device comprising a security client. The malware detection logic may establish a secure communication channel between the malware detection logic of the secured device and the security client of the destination device. The malware detection logic may execute a validation test on the message to determine that the message includes malware. The malware detection logic may report an alarm to the security client of the destination device. The malware detection logic may transmit information related to the malware to a cloud computing server. The malware detection logic may prevent an application associated with the destination device from processing the message.

  • Publication number: 20220358243
    Abstract: The present invention aims to improve data protection against illegal access by a strong differentiation of the security level specific on a type of data so that when the protection on a part of the data is violated, the remaining data are still inaccessible. A method for controlling access, via an open communication network, to user private data, comprising steps of: dividing the user private data into a plurality of categories, each category defining a privacy level of the data, encrypting the user private data of each category with a category key pertaining to the category of the data, attributing to a stakeholder an entity configured for accessing to at least one category of user private data, and authorizing the access to the at least one category of user private data for the entity of the stakeholder, by providing the stakeholder with the category keys required for decrypting the user private data of the corresponding category.

  • Publication number: 20220360442
    Abstract: A system and a method for protecting code are provided. Extraction of code to be protected takes place during an object-to-object transformation and that code is replaced with fake binary code. The extracted code to be protected may then be encrypted or otherwise obscured and stored in a separate region of an object file. A prior source-to-source file transformation can be provided to isolate and mark the code to be protected, and to inject additional source code to handle later decryption.

  • Patent number: 11451543
    Abstract: A method for securing transmission of digital data in a communication network comprising a central station or a terminal and at least one device monitored by the central station via the communication network. The at least one device is configured to produce and to transmit a digital data stream to the central station or terminal. The at least one device further comprises a secure non-volatile memory for storing at least device specific information. The at least one device forms a data block based on at least the device specific information stored in the secure memory. The data block thus formed may compose additional data to be merged with the digital data stream produced by the at least one device. A modified digital data stream results from this merging operation and is transmitted by the at least one device to the central station or terminal.

  • Publication number: 20220283759
    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.

  • Patent number: 11436350
    Abstract: Content source and sink devices and methods help to guard against compromising security of content transferred from a source device to a sink device, for example where a primary encryption mechanism protecting the content has been compromised. A content source device is configured to connect to a content sink device to transmit digital media content to the content sink device. The content source device includes a connection module configured to establish a connection to the sink device, encrypt a digital media content for transmission across the connection with a first cipher using a connection key, and transmit the encrypted digital media content to the sink device over the connection. The content source also includes a protection module configured to prevent the sink device from using the digital media content without authorisation.

  • Patent number: 11422183
    Abstract: A method for detecting at least one glitch in an electrical signal. This method comprises: generating, from said electrical signal, at least one digital oscillating signal which is sensitive to glitches; and—performing the following steps as a repeatable round: (a) assigning a time window to at least one digital oscillating signal; said time window being implemented on the basis of a clock signal substantially insensitive to said at least one glitch to be detected; (b) determining from said time window a sampling value of the digital oscillating signal, said sampling value being characteristic of said digital oscillating signal throughout its time window; (c) detecting any potential glitch in said electrical signal by comparing said sampling value with an expected reference value; and (d) outputting a response typifying a result of the comparison step. Also, a device for implementing said method is described.

  • Publication number: 20220260391
    Abstract: A method for managing communications within a network comprising utility meters, each associated and connected to at least one utility management center through at least one intermediate data concentrator. A message is sent by a utility meter to the destination data concentrator. This message includes metering data measurement reported by said utility meter, its utility meter identifier, the destination data concentrator identifier and the management center identifier. Then, on the basis of several metering data measurements, a metering counter differential consumption value is calculated by difference of two metering counter consumption indexes measured by the utility meter within a time period interval. Then, a report containing at least the metering counter differential consumption value is sent from the destination data concentrator towards the utility management center to which said utility meter is associated.
