Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide systems and methods to improve network security using VLAN splicing. A networking device can create multiple VLANs and place different devices on different VLANs. To enable communication between devices on different VLANs, the networking device “splices” two or more VLANs together. When packets originating from a device on a first VLAN are directed to a device on a second VLAN and the two VLANs are spliced together, the networking device processes and forwards the packets. For example, the packets may be decrypted using a decryption key of the first VLAN and encrypted using a decryption key of the second VLAN. For cross-VLAN packets of VLANs that are not spliced together, the networking device drops the packets.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for authenticating streaming media, based on the use of computer vision or artificial intelligence. An untrained neural network generates a first feature vector from an identified image frame of a first media stream that is encoded with a first encoding scheme. The same or a similar untrained neural network generates a second feature vector from an identified image frame of a second media stream that is encoded with a second encoding scheme. The two encoding schemes do not need to be the same. The two feature vectors are compared, and the second media stream is presumed to be authentic if the differences between the two feature vectors is less than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A content owner registers with an identity authority by providing information about the content owner and a public key of a public/private key pair. The content owner registers content to the identity authority and signs the multiple segments of the content with the private key of the public/private key pair. A system that receives the signed content determines an indicated content owner of the received media content and communicates with the identity authority to confirm that the media content was produced by the indicated content owner. The receiving system requests the public key of the content owner from the identity authority and uses the public key to verify the signature of each media content segment. Accordingly, the receiving system is able to determine if the media content was manipulated after being distributed by the content owner.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure address systems, methods, and devices for enabling secure communication between electronic control units (ECUs) in a vehicle. The system may include a first and second ECU from a plurality of ECUs in the vehicle. The first ECU is to enable secure communication between the plurality of ECUs by performing operations that include provisioning the second ECU with authentication data for authenticating messages exchanged with a third ECU and provisioning the third ECU with a set of security keys to enable the third ECU to securely exchange messages with the second ECU. The second ECU receives, from the third ECU, a secure message that is cryptographically signed using a security key from the set of security keys provisioned to the third ECU, and the second ECU authenticates the secure message by comparing the authentication data with an authentication signal.

Abstract: A method for notifying a user about a broadcast event comprises the steps of receiving at a management center at least one user keyword; receiving at the management center an identifier of at least one user unit, said at least one user unit being linked to the user; in the management center, determining a set of broadcast data linked to broadcast events; forming a query containing data identifying at least a subset of the set of broadcast data and at least one user keyword; sending said query to a plurality of data sources; receiving at the management center a response to the query, the response indentifying at least one event; transmitting a notification containing an identifier of the at least one present or future event in said response and the identifier of the user unit so that the user unit may notify the user of the events in the response.
