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.

Abstract: A pop-up blocker application detects and remediates malicious pop-up loops. The pop-up blocker application intercepts a call from a web page for initiating a pop-up browser window in a web browser. The pop-up blocker application updates a count of pop-up initiating calls associated with the web page occurring within a pre-defined time window. The updated count is compared to a threshold to determine whether the count meets a threshold indicative of a malicious pop-up loop. Responsive to the count meeting the threshold, the pop-up blocker applications takes a remedial action, such as navigating away from the web page.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing push notifications to a third-party application executing on a client device. An example can include encrypting user credentials, generating a callback Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) with at least a portion of the encrypted credentials embedded into the URL, and requesting notifications from an email service to be provided at the callback URL. Upon receiving a notification at the callback URL, a system component can decrypt the credentials within the URL using a private key and log into the email account using those decrypted credentials. The system component can then generate a push notification based on any changes found in the email account and cause the notification to be delivered to the third-party application on the client device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for validating binary files used to configure a hardware card in a computing system. In one embodiment, the hardware card (e.g., an FPGA) includes programmable logic which the binary file can configure to perform a specialized function. In one embodiment, multiple users can configure the hardware card to perform their specialized tasks. For example, the computing system may be server on the cloud that hosts multiple VMs or a shared workstation. Permitting multiple users to directly configure and use the hardware card may present a security risk. To mitigate this risk, the embodiments herein describe techniques for validating encrypted binary files.

Abstract: An interface of a content management system manages storage and access of content on the system. For example, after receiving, from a client, a request to download a content item, the interface determines whether the request includes a valid token. If so, the interface sends a content item request to a storage service, retrieves the content item, and sends the content item to the client. Otherwise, the interface sends an authorization request to an authorization service, an authentication request to an authentication service, and a content item request to the storage service. Based on the requests, the interface determines whether the content item is available in storage and whether the client is authorized to access the content item. When the content item is available in storage and the client is authorized to access the content item, the interface retrieves the content item and sends the content item to the client.
