Abstract: Methods and systems that allow a user to see the people or groups who have access to files that are maintained by a plurality of cloud content sharing services. In particular, the user may see what specific party has access to each particular file or directory, regardless of multiple cloud content sharing services involved. Moreover, a user interface and exposed application program interface allows the user to manipulate the permissions, e.g., granting access, to another person or group, to a file or directory. The user interface may also allow the user to terminate access to the file or directory for a person or group. The user's action to change a permission may be effected independently of the particular cloud content sharing service.

Abstract: A method for secure wireless communication executed by at least one processor of a device. A registration certificate is transmitted to the device by a host, the registration certificate including a Long Term Device Key (LTDK) and being generated by a registration server in response to the registration of the host as authorized to connect to the device. In response to receiving a request for securing a Bluetooth connection between the device and the host, the device transmits the LTDK to the host. The device receives, from the host, a connection certificate including connection data for establishing the connection between the host and the device. The connection certificate is signed by a private Long Term Host Key (LTHK) of the host, where the LTHK of the host and the LTDK of the device form a cryptographic Long Term Key pair. The device validates the connection certificate using the LTDK of the device to determine whether the host is authorized to connect to the device.

Abstract: Rotation of a wireless client device address is based on an encryption key and a nonce value. Key information and nonce value information are shared between a wireless client device and a network infrastructure component over a secure communication channel. The wireless client device encrypts the nonce value using the key information and encodes the encrypted value as a device address. The wireless client device then identifies itself via a source address value in a message transmitted over a wireless network. Upon receiving the message, the network infrastructure component decrypts information derived from the source address value and compares the resulting data to the nonce value. If a match is identified, the network infrastructure identifies the wireless client device as a source of the message. In some embodiments, the nonce value is updated with each rotation to provide for improved entropy of generated device addresses.
