Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for creating one or more proxy devices in a guest device mirroring the devices hosted by a host device. The proxy devices may provide full device access functionality to applications running in the guest device. The devices and methods may load a proxy driver inside the guest device, which communicates with the host device. When applications running on the guest device interact with the proxy devices, the proxy driver communicates the interaction to the host device, which communicates with the device driver managing the device. The devices and methods allow applications running on the host and applications running on the guest to shares access to the same device.

Abstract: In one aspect, a request is sent to a device for a device descriptor that describes custom interfaces. The custom interfaces may be expressed according to a defined data structure. The device descriptor that describes the custom interfaces is received at a gateway. An interface agnostic application is executed to translate the device descriptor to the custom interfaces for consumption of the data described by the custom interfaces.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for agnostically interpreting data. In one example, a request is sent to a device for a device descriptor that describes custom interfaces. The custom interfaces may be expressed according to a defined data structure. The device descriptor that describes the custom interfaces is received at a gateway. An interface agnostic application is executed to translate the device descriptor to the custom interfaces for consumption of the data described by the custom interfaces.

Abstract: Described are examples for enabling low privileged application to access secure system resources. A request from an application executing at a second privilege level can be received by a broker service executing at a first privilege level, where the request corresponds to accessing secure system resources. It can then be determined whether the application has a defined capability for accessing the secure system resources, whether the application has a protected status, and/or whether a user account associated with executing the application is part of a certain group of user accounts. Based on these determinations, access to the secure system resources can be provided to the application by the broker service.
