Abstract: One feature pertains to generating a unique identifier for an electronic device by combining static random access memory (SRAM) PUFs and circuit delay based PUFs (e.g., ring oscillator (RO) PUFs, arbiter PUFs, etc.). The circuit delay based PUFs may be used to conceal either a challenge to, and/or response from, the SRAM PUFs, thereby inhibiting an attacker from being able to clone a memory device's response.

The method and apparatus also includes units configured to send, by the first network entity, the public key to the user equipment and receive an encrypted identifier by the first network entity, wherein upon authenticating the public key, the user equipment encrypts at least part of the identifier using the public key, thereby enabling further processing between the network entity and the user equipment.

Abstract: Techniques to provide persistent uniform resource locators (URLs) for client applications acting as web services are described herein. In one or more implementations, the techniques utilize standard protocols and libraries (e.g., standard HTTP) without relying upon custom/propriety plug-ins. An intermediary server functions as a tunnel service is configured to provide functionality for handling communications between endpoints on behalf of client applications. Additionally, the tunnel service provides a mechanism to generate and assign persistent URLs (or comparable addresses) to client applications. Entities seeking to interact with the client applications use corresponding URLs to direct requests via the tunnel service and down to the appropriate client application.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for on-demand provisioning of access-point accounts may include receiving, at an access point, a first request from an unknown guest to access a secured network. The guest may not yet have an account with the access point that allows the guest to access the secured network, and the first request may include authentication information that was generated from a credential of the unknown guest that is required by the access point to provision the account for the guest. The computer-implemented method may further include (1) receiving a second request that includes the credential from an administrator of the secured network to provision the account for the guest using the credential, (2) provisioning the account for the guest using the credential, and (3) enabling the guest to access the secured network using the account for the guest. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

In each box, a non-encrypted size field, a non-encrypted type field and box data field are provided. In box data of the movie box, information data regarding multimedia data is stored. The multimedia data is encrypted and stored in box data of the media data box. The information data is obtained by referring to the container in the movie box. This information data is held as encryption and encoding information data. By referring to the information data, a data unit of the encrypted multimedia data in the media data box is obtained, and the unit data is decrypted.

Abstract: A halting key derivation function is provided. A setup process scrambles a user-supplied password and a random string in a loop. When the loop is halted by user input, the setup process may generate verification information and a cryptographic key. The key may be used to encrypt data. During a subsequent password verification and key recovery process, the verification information is retrieved, a user-supplied trial password obtained, and both are used together to recover the key using a loop computation. During the loop, the verification process repeatedly tests the results produced by the looping scrambling function against the verification information. In case of match, the trial password is correct and a cryptographic key matching the key produced by the setup process may be generated and used for data decryption. As long as there is no match, the loop may continue indefinitely until interrupted exogenously, such as by user input.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an authenticating service of a chip having an intrinsic identifier (ID). In a typical embodiment, an authenticating device is provided that includes an identification (ID) engine, a self-test engine, and an intrinsic component. The intrinsic component is associated with a chip and includes an intrinsic feature. The self-test engine retrieves the intrinsic feature and communicates it to the identification engine. The identification engine receives the intrinsic feature, generates a first authentication value using the intrinsic feature, and stores the authentication value in memory. The self-test engine generates a second authentication value using an authentication challenge. The identification engine includes a compare circuitry that compares the first authentication value and the second authentication value and generates an authentication output value based on the results of the compare of the two values.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for securing access to stored data are provided. Example embodiments provide a Storage Management System (“SMS”) that is configured to facilitate protected information sharing. The SMS may restrict access to shared information based on one or more criteria that validate an entity's right to access the information. For example, the SMS may restrict access to entities that are located in a particular geographic region, that are using a particular type of hardware or software, that hold particular credentials, or the like. In some cases, the SMS may require that an entity's claim to meet on or more required criteria be validated by a trusted third party.

Abstract: Scalable session management is achieved by generating a cookie that includes an encrypted session key and encrypted cookie data. The cookie data is encrypted using the session key. The session key is then signed and encrypted using one or more public/private key pairs. The encrypted session key can be decrypted and verified using the same private/public key pair(s). Once verified, the decrypted session key can then be used to decrypt and verify the encrypted cookie data. A first server having the private/public key pair(s) may generate the cookie using a randomly generated session key. A second server having the same private/public key pair(s) may decrypt and verify the cookie even if the session key is not initially installed on the second server. A session key cache may be used to provide session key lookup to save public/private key operations on the servers.

Abstract: A network component has a set of one or more rules, each of which has a match component and an action component. If an incoming packet maps to the match component of a rule, then the packet is handled according to the rule's action component. If the rule also includes a limit component, then if the packet maps to the rule's match component, a family history of the rule is updated, and the packet is handled according to the rule's action component only if the rule's family history satisfies the rule's limit component.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a cognitive digital security assistant intercepts a personal data request from a client that is requesting personal data from a user. The cognitive digital security assistant analyzes the personal data request against the user's security statements to determine whether to provide the user's personal data to the client. During the analysis, the cognitive digital security assistant determines whether the personal data request includes benefits that meet the user's benefit thresholds included in the user's security statements. When the benefits meet the user's benefit thresholds, the cognitive digital security assistant provides the requested personal data to the client in exchange for the benefit from the client.
