Patent number: 10771545Abstract: Some embodiments provide non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores a program which when executed by at least one processing unit of a device synchronizes a set of keychains stored on the device with a set of other devices. The device and the set of other devices are communicatively coupled to one another through a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. The program receives a modification to a keychain in the set of keychains stored on the device. The program generates an update request for each device in the set of other devices in order to synchronize the set of keychains stored on device with the set of other devices. The program transmits through the P2P network the set of update requests to the set of other devices over a set of separate, secure communication channels.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Mitchell D. Adler, Michael Brouwer, Dallas De Atley

Patent number: 10521214Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for upgrades and synchronization of applications installed on a device, such as a mobile device. In one embodiment, a device may include applications purchased and downloaded via a content management system. The device maintains a list or database of applications that are authorized for each device. This list is also replicated in a remote cache that is maintained by an archive host. The device may then synchronize and upgrade these applications across multiple platforms, such as one or more computers that can be coupled to the device or the archive host. The archive host allows for files of the application be provided back to the device. Upon installation, the device can then confirm the authorization and identity of the newly installed application.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Simon Cooper, Dallas De Atley

Publication number: 20170277886Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for authorizing software code to be executed or access capabilities in secure operating environments. Profiles may be issued by trusted entities to extend trust to other entities to allow those other entities to provide or control execution of applications in a secure operating environment such as on particular computing devices. The profiles allow entities to add software code to the device without reauthorizing each distribution by a trusted authority such as testing, quality assurance, or to limited groups of devices controlled or authorized by the other entities.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2017Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventors: DALLAS DE ATLEY, HEIKO PANTHER, MITCHELL ADLER, SIMON COOPER, MICHAEL BROUWER, MATT REDA

Patent number: 8880736Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems of backing up applications and their associated data installed on a device, such as a mobile device. In particular, data for a backed-up application is stored on a remote archive host and can be restored to dynamically managed containers of securely installed applications on the device. Upon request, the archive host may provide a package of files to the device. The device may then restore the application based on the contents of the package. The package may comprise all the files needed to install the application including the program code, data, and documents. Alternatively, the package may simply comprise just some of the files, such as just the data or documents for an application. After installation, a secure installer framework may be used to verify the applications and authorize the application's execution on the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Inventors: Simon Cooper, Dallas De Atley
