Abstract: A display device establishes a secure communications session with a mobile device and receives an image-based item associated with a unique cryptographic token. The display device determines, based on metadata parsed from the unique cryptographic token, authenticity information and chain-of-ownership information for the cryptographic token. In response to determining that user account information for the secure communications session corresponds to an item included in the chain-of-ownership information, the display device displays the image-based item, and an indicator component of the display device provides an indication of authenticity for the image-based item.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for a software defined network (SDN) controller that virtualizes network elements to provide content delivery and data services through the virtualized network elements. In one embodiment, the SDN controller is operable in a cloud computing environment to balance data traffic through the virtualized network elements. For example, the SDN controller may abstract Layer 2 Control Protocol (L2CP) frame processing of the network elements into the cloud computing environment to relieve the network elements from the burdens of Ethernet frame processing. In this regard, the SDN controller comprises a L2CP decision module that determines how L2CP should be processed for the network elements.

Abstract: A Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable includes a connector and a switch. The connector includes a housing configured for gripping by a user to manually insert/remove the connector to/from a port of an electronic device. The connector includes a power line configured to enable transfer of power to the electronic device and a data line configured to enable exchange of data with the electronic device. The switch is integrated into the outer surface of the housing and includes, for example, a toggle that is mechanically movable between a first position that activates a private mode and a second position that deactivates the private mode. The exchange of data with the electronic device is only enabled while the toggle is in the second position, and the transfer of power to the electronic device is enabled regardless of whether the toggle is in the first position or the second position.
