Patent number: 11863539Abstract: One example method includes a device management system detecting an attempt to access a user account by an unenrolled device. The device management system identifies a first enrolled device of the user account by accessing a signature chain of the user account. The device management system facilitates a transmission of a cryptographically-signed enrollment request from the unenrolled device to the first enrolled device. The first enrolled device is configured to cryptographically validate the enrollment request. The first enrolled device is further configured to generate an encrypted attestation message that indicates that the unenrolled device has been authenticated. The unenrolled device can receive and decrypt the encrypted attestation message based on a passcode being displayed on the first enrolled device. The device management system receives a decrypted attestation message from the unenrolled device and updates the signature chain to include a new sequential record for the unenrolled device.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Zoom Video Communications, Inc.Inventor: Karan Lyons

Patent number: 11863975Abstract: Systems and methods of protecting an initial NAS message are described. The NAS message is encrypted using the home PLMN public key during initial registration with the network using a registration request message. An AMF of the serving PLMN sends a serving PLMN public key which is then used to encrypt information including an S-NSSAI of later initial NAS messages after initial registration is completed. The S-NSSAI may not be sent in the later initial NAS message if the S-NSSAI is provided at an access stratum level. The RRC message may contain an indication that the S-NSSAI is encrypted using the serving PLMN public key.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alexandre Saso Stojanovski, Robert Zaus, Farid Adrangi, Raimund Wloka, Abhijeet Ashok Kolekar, Ahmed Soliman, Sudeep K.

Patent number: 11856408Abstract: Methods of pairing devices wirelessly that include matching received-signal-strength information regarding signal-strength patterns received by differing devices desired to be paired. In some embodiments, signal-strength patterns are based on a user moving an object so as to intentionally create multipath Fresnel-zone propagation disturbances. During pairing, the devices exchange their received-signal-strength information with one another and compare the received-signal-strength information that they receive from another device to the received-signal-strength information that they generated themselves based on the multipath Fresnel-zone propagation disturbances. When the two sets of receive-signal-strength information substantially match one another, the devices determine the presence of a trusted relationship. Methods for assisting with the wireless pairing are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Trustees of Dartmouth CollegeInventors: Timothy J. Pierson, Jonathan F. Alter

Patent number: 11824972Abstract: A system and process for onboarding client devices to a key management server. In operation, a device generates an asymmetric key pair including a public key and a private key. The device obtains an access token from an identity management server after successfully authenticating with the identity management server. The device transmits a request including the access token and the public key to the key management server to onboard the client device. The device receives a response including encrypted bootstrap information from the key management server. The bootstrap information included in the response is encrypted using the public key of the asymmetric key pair. The device decrypts the encrypted bootstrap information using the private key of the asymmetric key pair to obtain the bootstrap information and then uses the bootstrap information for encrypting communications transmitted to the key management server or for decrypting communications received from the key management server.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Madhusudan Pai, Rajendra Anthony, Bharatram Setti, Ramu Kandula
