Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method determines whether one or more manageability conditions are present in a computer system, and then invokes an out-of-service manageability remediation environment stored within a portion of a flash device in the computer system when one or more manageability conditions are present.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are directed to coordination of spectrum usage rights among entities. In one embodiment, logic may be configured to receive, from a first entity, spectrum information relating to a first frequency range available for allocation, and store the spectrum information in a database. The logic may also be configured to receive a request for allocation of at least one frequency range to a second entity, and query the database for at least one frequency range available for allocation to the second entity based on the allocation request. The logic may further be configured to determine that the first frequency range is available to satisfy the allocation request based on the query and the storage of the spectrum information, and allocate the first frequency range to the second entity based on the determination that the first frequency range is available to satisfy the allocation request.

Abstract: A device for use in a mobile communication user equipment includes processing circuitry to prepare a spectrum allocation request for requesting extra spectrum according to a predetermined protocol; send the spectrum allocation request to a cloud spectrum broker; and receive a response to the spectrum allocation from the cloud spectrum broker. A device for use in a cloud spectrum broker, the device comprising processing circuitry to receive from a user equipment an allocation request, the allocation request for requesting extra spectrum, the allocation request according to a predetermined protocol; determine a response to the allocation request; and send the response to the user equipment.

Abstract: When a virtual private network (VPN) connection is made, an internet protocol (IP) packet is encrypted and encapsulated within an outer IP packet. Quality-of-service information is placed in the outer packet header that includes classifiers that refer to the encrypted packet.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods associated with providing secure credential management are described. One apparatus embodiment includes a data store to store authentication data and an authentication supplicant (AS) logic to provide a response to an authentication communication (ACM) received from an authentication process. An authentication management (AM) logic may receive the ACM from a connection management (CM) logic associated with a host operating system (HOS), provide the ACM to the AS logic, and provide the response back to the CM logic. The apparatus may include a device management (DM) client logic to provide a secure connection to an operator DM server associated with the authentication process and to store authentication data provided by the operator DM server in the data store. The AS logic, AM logic, and DM logic may reside in firmware that is not accessible to the HOS.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a personal computer device comprising at least one machine configured to execute a primary user operating system and at least one appliance operating system independent from the primary user operating system. The personal computer device also including a system memory including a first portion of the system memory configured to be used by the primary user operating system; and a second portion of the system memory configured to be sequestered from the primary user operating system.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a personal computer device comprising at least one machine to execute a primary user operating system, a first physical memory to be used by the primary user operating system, at least one appliance operating system that is independent from the primary user operating system, a second physical memory to be sequestered from the primary user operating system and an access violation monitor to restrict access from the at least one appliance operating system to the second physical memory, wherein the access violation monitor is to run only when the at least one appliance operating system is invoked and at least one appliance operating system is to be invoked only after the primary user operating system has been suspended to a standby state.

Abstract: A computer system, method, article of manufacture, and system is provided comprising a processor, a first storage device with a primary operating system stored within and a second storage device with a secondary operating system stored within. The computer system contains BIOS capable of booting either the primary operating system or the secondary operating system responsive to user selection. The secondary operating system has fewer functions than the primary operating system and is capable of running the computer system independent of the primary operating system.

Abstract: A manageability engine (ME) may be used to authenticate a user for a computer system. A data collection module may be coupled to the ME to collect data (e.g., fingerprint image, facial images, speech, etc.) from a user. The ME processes the collected data to authenticate the user. If the authentication is successful, the system may boot, resume from a sleep state, or become re-accessible by the user; otherwise, the user is prevented from using the system or accessing data stored therein.

Abstract: A method and system for filtering data packets in a multiple-call environment are described. In one embodiment, each data packet received from a packet source is associated with an identifier of an IP telephone call that corresponds to this data packet. The IP telephone call is identified using information contained in the data packet. In one embodiment, all data packets related to a specific IP telephone call can be traced using the identifier of the specific IP telephone call.

Abstract: A robust header compression scheme (“ROHC”) compresses IP security (“IPSec”) protected IP packets. More specifically, ROHC is applied to portions of an IP packet header prior to IPSec encryption. ROHC may then optionally be applied again to the unencrypted portions of the IP packet.
