Abstract: In overview, a computer-implemented method of transmitting data in a data stream from a first device to a second device is disclosed. The data stream is encrypted before transmission from the first device to the second device, and a location of the data in the data stream is indicated to the second device. The location may be a pre-shared location between the first and second devices, or the first device may transmit the location of the data to the second device. The second device decrypts the encrypted data stream, identifies the data in the data stream based on the location, and encrypts the identified data in the data stream.

Abstract: The method of proximity detection between a first and a second device (DVC1, DVC2), carried out by the first device (DVC1), comprises the steps of collecting a first information on exposure of the first device (DVC1) to electromagnetic waves; receiving a second information on exposure of the second device (DVC2) to electromagnetic waves from the second device (DVC2); determining a matching information between the first information on exposure and the second information on exposure and detecting either proximity or non-proximity between the first and the second device (DVC1, DVC2) based on the matching information.

Abstract: A method of transmitting entitlement messages to content consumption devices in a access control system, the method comprising periodically transmitting entitlement messages to content consumption devices in a access control system and periodically extending an expiry time comprised in the entitlement messages. The entitlement messages comprise indicator data indicating to the content consumption devices that subsequent entitlement messages loaded into a content consumption device after a first entitlement message is loaded into the content consumption device shall not be used by the content consumption device to access protected media content.

Abstract: The present disclosure proposes method and systems for establishing secure communication session (s) between a first device and a second device, where the first device operates in a user network and implements a first key exchange protocol for secure communication. The second device is capable of communicating with the first device over a wireless communication network. The second device implements a second key exchange protocol that is different to the first key exchange protocol for secure communication. A proxy entity configured for implementing the first and the second key exchange protocols for secure communication is provided. The proxy entity is configured for generating and/or provisioning one or more session keys for the first and the second devices using the key exchange protocols specific to each device for establishing secure communication between the first and second device based on the generated session key(s).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of cryptographic techniques to facilitate local decision making at a gateway device (120) interfacing between an operator device (110) and edge devices (130), for example as can be found in Internet of Things infrastructures. Local decision making is facilitated in the context of end to end encryption of data between the edge device and operator device by enabling a function of the data to be computed at the gateway (120) without decrypting the data, for example using Functional Encryption (FE). The gateway determines an action based on the computed function, for example whether to transmit the data to the operator device (110). Examples of edge devices are video surveillance cameras or utility consumption meters but the disclosure is applicable to any edge device that produces data to be transmitted with end to end encryption. The disclosure is also not limited to IoT infrastructures.
