Patent number: 10523670Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for determining an electromagnetic signature for authenticating a device, a user, and/or a location. In exemplary embodiments, a magnetometer captures an electromagnetic signature which is then compared with one or more authorized electromagnetic signatures. If the electromagnetic signature matches an authorized electromagnetic signature, then access is granted. The magnetometer is integrated into a communication device having a processor and a logic. The magnetometer captures an electromagnetic signature of a surrounding environment and detects motion of the communication device through the captured electromagnetic signature. The logic on the communication device locks or unlocks features of the device based upon the captured electromagnetic signature. In further embodiments of the subject disclosure, the magnetometer is in communication with a server which authenticates a user or communication device to provide access to a remote location.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Alexander Varshavsky, Kevin Ansia Li

Publication number: 20170016975Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a user context based on one or more wireless signals. In particular, location data can be determined by a user device. The user device can then detect beacon data broadcast by a first set of beacon devices, and subsequent to detecting the first beacon data, second beacon data broadcast by a second set of beacon devices. The location data can be compared with the first beacon data and the second beacon data to determine a user context. In particular, a context can be determined based at least in part on whether the location data is indicative of a changing location of a user, and whether the second beacon data corresponds to a change in beacon data from the first beacon data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2015Publication date: January 19, 2017Inventors: Chetan Parshottam Bhadricha, Alexander Varshavsky, Stefano Maggiolo

Patent number: 8873755Abstract: Wireless devices in proximity are securely paired with one another autonomously by generating a common cryptographic key directly from a time-varying wireless environment shared among the wireless devices. The shared key can be used by the wireless devices to authenticate each wireless device's physical proximity and then to facilitate confidential communication between the wireless devices. The algorithm used to create the shared key is secure against a computationally unbounded adversary and its computational complexity is linear in the size of the shared key.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Propert I, L.P., Rutgers, The State University of New JerseyInventors: Suhas Mathur, Wade Trappe, Alexander Varshavsky
