Abstract: A third-party server, delegated by organizations to manage application environment, may maintain a plurality of guided workflow plans. At least one of the guided workflow plans may include one or more steps associated with setting up an interaction control policy. The third-party server may receive an interaction report associated with the organization. The interaction report may include metadata of one or more devices that interacted with other devices. The third-party server may identify a particular device to which existing interaction control policies of the organization are inapplicable. The third-party server may search for additional out-of-band information of the particular device using the metadata in the interaction report. The third-party server may select an applicable guided workflow plan for setting up an applicable interaction control policy for the particular device. A guided workflow may be presented via a graphical user interface according to the applicable guided workflow plan.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system that may include a third-party server and a domain name system (DNS). The third-party server may be configured to receive a request for a credential from a named entity device for the named entity device to communicate with an application programming interface (API). The API may be associated with a domain. The third-party server may obtain the credential from the API. The third-party server may encrypt the credential with a public key corresponding to the named entity device to generate an encrypted credential. The DNS may be configured to receive the encrypted credential and publish a DNS record at a namespace of the DNS, the DNS record containing the encrypted credential for the named entity device to retrieve the credential. The named entity device may decrypt the encrypted credential by the private key stored at the device.

Abstract: A third-party server may maintain a list of named entity devices that belong to one or more roles in an application environment. The server may receive an authorization query from a policy consuming device. The authorization query may include an identity of a particular named entity device which sent a message to the policy consuming device and contextual metadata associated with the message. The server may determine that the particular named entity device belongs to one of the roles and filter the list based on the contextual metadata. The server may generate an interaction control list that includes the filtered list and transmit the interaction control list to the policy consuming device as a response to the authorization query. The interaction control list causes the policy consuming device to react to the message based on the interaction control list.

Abstract: An application-operating organization may delegate a third-party server to serve as an automated contextual authentication responder and an authorization responder. The third-party server may manage a delegated section of the organization's namespace that includes the public identities of various devices controlled by the organization. The third-party server may also dynamically generate interaction control list that is tailored to a requesting device's context based on the interaction control policies set forth by the organization. The interaction control list may include information that determines the authorization of the requesting device to interact with another device. The third-party server may also automatically determine the role of a new device to which existing policies are inapplicable and provide guided workflow for the organization to set up new interaction control policies in governing the new device.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems for the distribution of payload in a secure manner. A server may receive a query from a device that includes a subscriber identifier. The server may determine, from confidential information stored, an association between the subscriber identifier and a public key of the device. The server may retrieve the public key of the device. The server may generate a data payload as a response to the query. The server may encrypt the data payload by a symmetric key that is generated randomly. The server may encrypt the symmetric key by the public key of the device. The server may transmit the data payload and the symmetric key that are encrypted to the device for the device to use a private key corresponding to the public key to decrypt the symmetric key and use the symmetric key to decrypt the data payload.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems for distribution of cryptographic keys generated with high quality entropy on to new or configurable devices using a centralized entropy provider located at a server and a provisioning device that communicates between the server and the configurable devices. The server may receive a request from a provisioning device for a cryptographic keypair. For example, the provisioning device may be physically connected to a configurable device for bootstrapping and requests the identity keys to install on to the configurable device. The server generates the cryptographic keypair having newly generated public and private keys for the configurable device. The server encrypts the newly generated keypair (e.g., in the form of a private key and a certificate having the public key) using the public key of the provisioning device and transmits the encrypted keypair to the provisioning device for decryption and installation on to the configurable device.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems for generating identity records (e.g., authentication certificates) at a server for validating broadcast messages. The server may receive a request to generate an identity record, where the request may include a public key of a named entity device that is configured to broadcast messages. The server may generate the identity record using the private key of the server and transmit the generated certificate to a namespace server for storage. A policy consuming device configured to receive a broadcast message, which may be signed using the private key of the named entity device, subsequently accesses the namespace server for the identity record including the public key of the named entity device. The policy consuming device validates the authentication certificate using the server's public key and validates the broadcast message using the named entity device's public key.

Abstract: An apparatus for distributed correlation of RF information includes a radio having an RF transceiver and sensor in communication with the radio. The sensor has a collector for extracting signal data from the radio and a correlator for correlating the extracted signal data with sensor correlation data stored within a database within the sensor to detect an anomaly in the extracted signal data. When an anomaly is detected in the extracted signal data, a computerized service processing device receives the correlated extracted signal data from the sensor and executes one or more of an alert process to alert a user of the detected anomalies and an updating process to a correlation sub-system within the computerized service processing device, where the detected anomaly is curated and transmitted to the database of the sensor device to update the sensor correlation data stored therein.
