  • Publication number: 20240129721
    Abstract: A context awareness engine may include processing circuitry configured to receive a context update request from a content provider for an originator of a content request from a source internet protocol (IP) address associated with a dynamic context, determine updated context information for the originator based on the source IP address, and provide the updated context information to the content provider to enable the content provider to provide a response to the content request including requested content or additional content that is based on the updated context information.

  • Patent number: 11936784
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for enabling attested end-to-end encryption for transporting data between devices. In one example, a destination device receives a policy profile that includes an origination key and a destination key, and the origination key corresponds to a public transfer key of a source device. The destination device verifies the policy profile based on the destination key corresponding to a public transfer key of the source device. The destination device receives a signed encrypted data encryption key from the source device. The destination device receives encrypted data from the source device. The destination device verifies the signed encrypted data encryption key originated from the source device based on the signed encrypted data key being signed with a private attestation identity key that corresponds to a public attestation identity key of the source device. The destination device decrypts encrypted data using a private transfer key of the destination device.

  • Patent number: 11863561
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to edge attestation of a host node to access a cloud infrastructure environment. A set of authentication data can be obtained from a console for authorization of the host node. The set of authentication data can include a first endorsement key and an authentication policy identifying characteristics of the host node. The host node can send a request for a network address to connect to the cloud infrastructure environment. The host node can generate a second endorsement key and authentication data that can be verified as corresponding to the set of authentication data received from the console. Responsive to validating the second endorsement key and the received host node authentication data, the network address can be provided to the host node that can be used to connect to the cloud infrastructure environment using the network address.

  • Publication number: 20230281313
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a secure boot partition for a cloud computing device of a cloud computing system. The computing device of the cloud computing system can transmit a first request for a pre-boot execution environment executable from a smart network interface card (SmartNIC). The computing device can receive the pre-boot environment executable from the SmartNIC and verify the pre-boot execution environment executable. The computing device can execute the pre-boot execution environment executable. Executing the pre-boot execution environment executable can include transmitting a second request secure boot metadata from the SmartNIC and receiving the secure boot metadata. Executing the pre-boot execution environment executable can further include mounting a boot partition, loading a boot loader obtained from the boot partition, verifying the boot loader based at least in part on the secure boot metadata, and executing the boot loader in response to verifying the boot loader.

  • Patent number: 11444762
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for enabling attested end-to-end encryption for transporting sensitive data between devices. In one example, an origination device receives and verifies, in a secure environment, a policy profile that includes an origination key of the origination device and a destination key of a destination device. The origination device generates and seals a data encryption key based on a characteristic of the secure environment. The origination device then encrypts the data encryption key with a public key of the destination device to form an encrypted data encryption key. The origination device then signs the encrypted data encryption key with a private attestation identity key of the origination device. The origination device encrypts the sensitive data with the sealed data encryption key to form encrypted data, and then transmits the signed encrypted data encryption key and the encrypted data to the destination device for subsequent decryption of the encrypted data.

  • Patent number: 11440460
    Abstract: A directional headlamp assembly for independently directing light from a pair of headlamps includes a pair of headlamp modules and a controller. Each headlamp module replaces a respective headlamp of a pair of existing headlamps of a vehicle. The headlamp module comprises a first housing, which insertable of into an opening created upon removal of the respective headlamp, so that the first housing is engaged to the vehicle. A bulb is pivotally engaged to a front of the first housing. An actuator is engaged to and positioned in the first housing. The actuator is operationally engaged to the bulb. The controller is mountable within a passenger compartment of the vehicle so that it is accessible to a driver of the vehicle. The controller is independently and operationally engaged to each of the actuators and thus is positioned to selectively actuate each actuator to direct light emitted by an associated bulb.
