  • Patent number: 11100250
    Abstract: Some methods may involve receiving, at a first node of the health network, encrypted sensor data from one or more sensors. The first node may be in a data communication path between the one or more sensors and other nodes of the health network. The method may involve decrypting, by the first node of the health network, only a portion of the encrypted sensor data, and transmitting the encrypted sensor data from the first node of the health network to a second node of the health network. The first node may be a gateway device. In some examples, the second node may be able to decrypt more of the encrypted sensor data than the first node.

  • Patent number: 11095616
    Abstract: Improved virtualized application performance is provided through disabling of unnecessary functions, such as unnecessary encryption and decryption operations. An example method performed by a hypervisor includes the steps of obtaining a request from a first virtual machine to perform one or more of encrypting and decrypting of a communication between the first virtual machine and a second virtual machine; determining when the first and second virtual machines execute on a same host as the hypervisor; and in response to the first and second virtual machines executing on the same host: processing the communication without performing the one or more of encrypting and decrypting of the communication, wherein the hypervisor initiates an encryption of further communications between the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine in response to at least one of the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine being moved from the same host.

  • Patent number: 11095436
    Abstract: In providing cloud services, key-based security measures specific to a local network are utilized when an internal client terminal logs into the network to access cloud services, and when a remote client terminal connects directly to the cloud services. A cloud service computer references the credential authorization service of the local network, allowing key-based security measures of that network to be applied even when a remote client terminal connects directly to a cloud service computer. By referencing the local credential authorization service, it is possible to provide cloud services to different organizations that administer key-based security measures independently of each other.

  • Patent number: 11055386
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling user access to a medical system including a body-wearable medical device that can be, e.g., an insulin pump and/or a continuous glucose monitor. A remote controller is provided and has a user interface and can exchange data with the medical device. The remote controller is configured for entering, via the user interface, at least one command for execution by the medical device. The remote controller has a locked state in which entering medical device commands or other commands is disabled. In the locked state, the user is prompted to enter an identification code and the remote controller can be unlocked when the correct identification code is entered. In the unlocked state, entering of the medical device command is enabled. Alternatively, instead of entering a correct identification code, the remote controller can be switched to the unlocked state when a safety condition is met.
