Abstract: A technical problem faced when remotely controlling or debugging electronic devices is that remote control or debugging often requires a direct connection. However, debugging ports are inaccessible on many devices. Technical solutions described herein provide systems and methods for secure communication via existing communication infrastructure (e.g., public instant messenger (IM)), providing various debugging abilities including debugging and file sharing. Technical solutions described herein also provide systems and methods for debugging based on remote device memory state collection and sending for embedded or IoT devices. This solution avoids a hardware debugging connection by using a debugging methodology resident on the device to read and dump the relevant memory, registers, and other device state information in a secure and automated manner.

Abstract: Technologies disclosed herein provide an apparatus comprising a fuse controller coupled to an aggregator. The fuse controller includes a plurality of fuses for storing a unique identifier of a device and a first secured value of a first password associated with the unique identifier. The aggregator is to receive the unique identifier and the first secured value from the fuse controller, send the unique identifier to an unlock host, receive a second password from the unlock host, compute a second secured value of the second password using a security function, and unlock one or more privileged features on the device based on the first secured value corresponding to the second secured value. In a specific embodiment, the first secured value corresponds to the second secured value if the first password is equivalent to the second password.
