  • Patent number: 12273390
    Abstract: Applications supporting operations of an autonomous vehicle fleet can be implemented on and supported by cluster infrastructure. These applications have endpoints where data traffic runs in and out of these applications. Securing access to these endpoints can prevent unauthenticated and unauthorized access to these endpoints and the protected resources accessible through these endpoints. Securing access to these endpoints, managing entitlements and security policies, and maintaining security systems that can enforce the security policies are not trivial tasks. One solution addresses some of these challenges by offering a simple frontend for users to define the entitlements and security policies, leveraging an open source security solution, and ensuring backwards compatibility to other security solutions in the cluster infrastructure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11777917
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for authenticating one or more devices of a user in association with cloud computing services. The techniques include generating credential portions. The credential portions may be used in a signing protocol between one of the user devices and a cloud authenticator. The signing protocol may generate a signature that may be used in authentication with a cloud computing service. In some cases, the credential portions may be shared with other devices of the user. As such, the cloud authenticate may assist multiple user devices to authenticate with the cloud computing service.

  • Publication number: 20220123950

The techniques include generating credential portions. The credential portions may be used in a signing protocol between one of the user devices and a cloud authenticator. The signing protocol may generate a signature that may be used in authentication with a cloud computing service. Furthermore, the user may be able to use any one of the user devices to log in to an online service after enrolling only a single user device with the online service. As such, the cloud authenticator may assist multiple user devices to authenticate with the cloud computing service.
