Publication number: 20160323104Abstract: Approaches described herein allow a stateless device to recover at least one private key. In particular, a stateless device can provide service-account credentials to a directory service to establish a first session and acquire a certificate and private key using information associated with the stateless device. The stateless device can store its private key before the first session ends. A stateless device can then provide user-account credentials to the directory service to establish a second session. After the second session begins, a private key can be acquired by the stateless device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2015Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventor: Christopher Morgan MAYERS

Publication number: 20160316025Abstract: Approaches described herein allow an appliance to receive a message from a client device when the client device is attempting to connect to a service other than the appliance. For instance, a client device might connect to a service on a private network, however if the client device is not on the private network, it may encounter an appliance such as a gateway. The appliance is configured to return a message to a client device indicating that it is an appliance, and the client device returns a certificate to the appliance that allows the client to indicate a first purpose of a connection and a second purpose of the connection. In approaches described herein, the second purpose is used by the appliance to perform an action related to providing the service with a certificate that allows for the first purpose, which can include information to create a secure connection between the service and the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2015Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventors: David Alessandro Penry LLOYD, Christopher Morgan MAYERS

Publication number: 20160315777Abstract: Approaches described herein provide devices, methods, and mediums for building a chain of certificates. In particular, various devices can communicate with a certificate repository. The certificate repository can provide information indicating whether a certificate stored on a device is valid. If the certificate is no longer valid, then a new certificate is acquired from the certificate repository. This new certificate can have certificate extensions. These certificate extensions can be used by a device to build a chain to a root certificate authority to validate the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2015Publication date: October 27, 2016Inventors: David Alessandro Penry LLOYD, Christopher Morgan MAYERS

Publication number: 20150337655Abstract: An apparatus for retrieving a fluid from a sampling zone in a borehole intersecting a formation may include a sampling tool having a port positioned in the sampling zone and a permeable media filling an annular space surrounding the port. The permeable media may include a circumferential support face, a first plurality of radial flow channels, and a second plurality of radial flow channels. The support face extends axially and uniformly along a length of the sampling zone. The circumferential support face contacts a borehole wall. The first plurality of radial flow channels conveys fluid between the borehole wall and the port. The second plurality of radial flow channels conveys fluid between the borehole wall and a location isolated from the port.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2014Publication date: November 26, 2015Applicant: BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATEDInventors: Hermanus J.
