Abstract: In some examples, a method includes determining, during a boot sequence of a controller, a hash value for data of a block of a flash storage device, the block including executable code, determining a bit pattern based on a randomly generated number, extracting a subset of data bits of the hash value according to the bit pattern to obtain a snippet, and storing the snippet to a secure storage device.

Abstract: In at least one example, a method includes establishing, by a sniffer provisioning server (SPS) of a first wireless device, a trusted relationship between the first wireless device and a sniffer tool using a public key of the sniffer tool. An out-of-band (OOB) key exchange provisions the public key of the sniffer tool to the wireless device. The method further includes obtaining, by the SPS, key material uniquely related to a communication session established between the first wireless device and a second wireless device using a shared password. The key material excludes the shared password and a session key uniquely related to the communication session. The method further includes publishing, by the SPS, the key material over a channel to the sniffer tool based on the trusted relationship. The channel is secured using the public key of the sniffer tool.

Abstract: In described examples, ownership of a network protocol-based session is distributed across multiple entities. A session is established between a remote entity and a first processing node on a local device, such that the first processing node is the session owner of the session on the local device. During the session, ownership of the session is transferred from the first processing node to a second processing node on the local device, such that the second processing node becomes the session owner of the session on the local device. The session is then operated between the remote entity and the second processing node as the session owner.
