The device attestation server sends the attestation token to the mobile device, which performs a validation method using the attestation token.

Abstract: Provisioning device certificates for electronic processors. One example method includes receiving a flashloader at the electronic processor. The method also includes validating the flashloader with the electronic processor. After validating the flashloader, the method includes receiving an encrypted provisioned key bundle at the electronic processor. The method also includes decrypting the encrypted provisioned key bundle with the electronic processor using a provisioning key to create a decrypted provisioned key bundle. The method further includes executing a provisioning process on the electronic processor using the decrypted provisioned key bundle.

Abstract: A method and mobile device for identifying a current user of the mobile device as a trusted user is provided. The mobile device determines that a current user of the mobile device is not the owner of the mobile device. The mobile device obtains a biometric sample of the current user and transmits an identification request message to a distributed identification system. The distributed identification system includes a group of mobile devices, each one that includes biometric data the owner of the device. The identification request message includes the biometric sample of the current user. If the biometric sample matches the sample of one of the mobile devices in the distributed identification system, that device sends an identity response to the originating mobile device. Upon receiving the identity response, the original mobile unit determines if the identity in the identity response matches a known identity of the mobile device, such as a member in the contact list.

Abstract: System and method of providing administrative access to an endpoint server. In one example, the method includes receiving, at an admin server, a request for performing an admin operation on the endpoint server and a first portion of an admin key from a microservice server. The method also includes receiving, at the admin server, a second portion of the admin key. The method further includes generating, at the admin server, a copy of the admin key based at least in part on the first portion and the second portion of the admin key. The method also includes performing, via the admin server, the admin operation on the endpoint server using the copy of the admin key. The method further includes deleting the copy of the admin key on the admin server after performing the admin operation on the endpoint server.

Abstract: A method and is provided for obtaining a vetted certificate for a microservice in an elastic cloud environment. The microservice receives a one-time authentication credential. The microservice utilizes the one-time authentication credential to obtain a client secret. The microservice obtains an access token and CSR (Certificate Signing Request) attributes using the client secret and constructs a CSR utilizing the CSR attributes. The microservice requests a vetted certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA) and includes the access token and the CSR in the request. If the access token and the CSR pass vetting at the CA, the CA sends a vetted certificate to the microservice.

Abstract: A device, system and method for sharing sensor data is provided. A request to access sensor data is received at a receiver device, from a requestor device, the sensor data acquired by sensors associated with the receiver device. The receiver device determines a status of the receiver device. The receiver device determines, from the status of the receiver device, a subset of the sensor data to share with the requestor device. The receiver device determines one or more override contextual conditions associated with one or more of the requestor device and the receiver device. When the one or more override contextual conditions meets one or more override threshold conditions, the receiver device causes the subset of the sensor data to be shared with the requestor device.

Abstract: A method of enabling a lock screen of an electronic device operating an electronic device that includes an electronic processor and a display screen.

Abstract: An evidentiary electronic processor receives identifying data associated with respective ones of a plurality of communication devices associated with an incident. The evidentiary electronic processor determines an assignment status of each communication device using the respective identifying data. The assignment status indicates that a communication device is one of assigned to the incident, unassigned to the incident and associated with a first profile that is relevant to the incident, or unassigned to the incident and associated with a second profile that is irrelevant to the incident. The evidentiary electronic processor receives sensor data associated with the incident from a sending communication device out of the plurality of communication devices. The evidentiary electronic processor processes the sensor data based on a respective assignment status associated with the sending communication device.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling a primary and a secondary communication device to share a user identity assertion is presented. The user identity assertion enables the devices to access an application system. The primary and secondary devices are paired to place them in collaboration with each other. The primary device requests an identity provider system to issue a user identity assertion scoped to the primary and secondary communication device. The identity provider system authenticates the primary device and generates the user identity assertion scoped to the primary device and the secondary device identified in the request. The primary communication device receives the user identity assertion and communicates the user identity assertion to the secondary device. The primary device may request the user identity assertion by communicating a user identity assertion scoped to the primary device and a single sign on session cookie or a request for an extension assertion.

Abstract: A method of Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration and a user equipment (UE) enable dynamic assignment of a Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network-Number (MSISDN) to the UE. An input identifying a user of the UE is received at the UE. One or more credentials based on the input are transmitted from the UE to an identity management system. User data comprising a MSISDN attribute corresponding to the user are received at the UE from the identity management system. An IP Multimedia Private Identity (IMPI) associated with the UE and an IP Multimedia Public Identity (IMPU) based on the MSISDN attribute are then transmitted from the UE to a registrar.

Abstract: A single sign-on server associated with a single sign-on client authenticates a user of a device. Subsequent to the authenticating, the single sign-on client receives a request for an authentication token from a single sign-on enabled application operating on the device. The single sign-on client determines whether an application lock flag for the single sign-on enabled application is set. Responsive to the determining, the single sign-on client provides the authentication token to the single sign-on enabled application when the application lock flag is not set and withholds the authentication token from the single sign-on enabled application when the application lock flag is set.
