Abstract: A first processing device obtains a first copy of software from a repository, the first copy including first computer instructions and first data for indicating a running state of a device. A validation request is sent, which includes a seed, an algorithm identifier, a number of random numbers to generate, and a nonce. The first processing device generates the number of first random numbers using the seed and an algorithm corresponding to the algorithm identifier, and maps the first random numbers to memory blocks, each of which includes a respective first computer instruction of the first copy or the first data. A first hash is calculated from contents of the mapped memory blocks and the nonce. A second hash, calculated using information included in the validation request and a software copy on a second processing device, is received. An action is automatically performed when the hashes do not match.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for providing secure access to devices enabled for connectivity using access control are disclosed. The computer-implemented method for providing secure access to devices enabled for connectivity comprises dynamically associating each of the one or more devices to at least one user account; assigning an IP address to each of the one or more devices enabled for connectivity; dynamically generating at least one access-control list (ACL) for each of the one or more devices associated with the at least one user account; and restricting access only to the at least one user account via ACL generated for the one or more devices.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing digital certificates and other security credentials. A routing and management server is communicatively connected to a certificate user device and to a plurality of certificate generators. The server performs operations that may include: optionally registering the certificate user device; receiving a request for one or more digital certificates from the certificate user device; analyzing the request to determine an appropriate certificate generator, from among the plurality of certificate generators, for producing the one or more digital certificates; optionally translating the request into a format required by the appropriate certificate generator; transmitting the request to the appropriate certificate generator; receiving the one or more digital certificates from the appropriate certificate generator; and providing the one or more digital certificates to the certificate user device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and devices for accessing onboard operational data in a vehicle. The systems, methods, computer-readable media, and devices may include hardware and/or software for performing operations that include: obtaining user information and vehicle information, obtaining verification information, e.g., from a verification source, verifying that a specific user is associated with the vehicle based on the verification information, communicatively connecting to the vehicle based on the vehicle information; obtaining the onboard data from the vehicle; and providing the onboard data to the user. In embodiments, the user may be the owner of the vehicle, the registrant of the vehicle, or a repair person that is servicing the vehicle and needs access to onboard data besides OBD error codes.

Abstract: The embodiments described herein describe technologies to address initial establishment of device credentials in an Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. The embodiments are directed to unifying secure credential establishment regardless of the endpoint type, thus addressing the challenge of a great diversity among IoT devices. This approach is designed to address a challenge of initial trusted enrollment of the IoT endpoints into a secure infrastructure, which allows secure communications between the devices in the IoT environment.

Abstract: An example method can include detecting a transaction associated with an application; identifying a characteristic of the transaction; determining a priority for network traffic associated with the application, based on the identified characteristic; selecting, from a plurality of types of networks that are communicatively coupled with the user device and based on the priority for the network traffic, a network type for the network traffic; and causing the network traffic to be routed, from the user device, through a network device associated with the selected network type.

Abstract: A method of notifying an owner of a fault associated with a vehicle system of a vehicle. The method includes receiving, at a computing processor, one or more fault messages from a vehicle system of the vehicle. Each fault message includes a fault source identifying the vehicle system, a fault time identifying a time of the fault, and a fault description. The method also includes determining, by the computing processor, a fault value associated with the received one or more fault messages. The fault value indicative of a period of time or a number of events from an initial received fault message. The method also includes transmitting, from the computing processor to a third party in communication with the computing processor, the fault value. The method also includes receiving, from the third party, a service notification, and displaying, on a display in communication with the computing processor, the service notification.

Abstract: A graphical network design and configuration tool provides an administrator graphical user interface (GUI) with icons that represent virtual network elements, physical network elements, and links used to deliver network-based services and associates, via the administrator GUI, the icons with network element properties based on user input. A design GUI is provided including a design canvas to arrange and connect the icons. User input is received via the design GUI to arrange the icons on the design canvas to provide a design for a network-based service. A design template for the network-based service is generated based on the second user input. A configuration GUI solicits location-specific network level attributes for network elements in the design template and creates an instance of the design template based on the network level attributes. Configuration files are automatically generated for the physical network elements represented in the instance of the design template.
