  • Patent number: 9003197
    Abstract: A method, device and system for authenticating a programmable hardware device, such as a programmable hardware chip, and a command received by the programmable hardware device. A secure processor or other trusted source authenticates the programmable hardware chip by verifying, with the secure processor's own verification key, a random number sent to the programmable hardware chip and encrypted using a verification key embedded within the programmable hardware chip, since the nature of the encryption is such that only the original logic function that includes the verification key can encrypt the data correctly. A command received by the programmable hardware chip is authenticated by verifying that a command authentication token received by the programmable hardware chip is generated using the correct command authentication key and consequently verifying that the command is received from the secure processor, as only the party who has the command authentication key can encrypt the data correctly.

  • Patent number: 8904172
    Abstract: A method for registering a first device with a second device over a wireless network includes receiving a registration request from the first device and sending one or more user input choices to the first device. The user input choices each specify a user input action available though a user interface associated with the second device. A device description describing the second device is sent to the first device in a manner that allows it to be presented to the user by the first device. At least one of the user input actions are sequentially received through the user interface in response to instructions provided to the user by the first device. The first device is registered with the second device if the user input actions received by the second device correctly reflect the instructions provided to the user by the first device.

  • Publication number: 20140101368
    Abstract: A processor is provided that binds itself to a circuit such that the processor cannot be subsequently reused in other circuits. On a first startup of the processor, a memory segment of an external volatile memory device is read to obtain information prior to initialization of the memory segment. An original/initial identifier may be generated from the information read from the memory segment. The original/initial identifier may then be stored in a non-volatile storage of the processor. On subsequent startups of the processor, it verifies that the processor is still coupled to the same external volatile memory device by using the stored identifier. For instance, on a subsequent startup, the processor again reads the same memory segment of the external memory device and generates a new identifier. If the identifier matches the previously stored identifier, then the processor may continue its operations; otherwise the processor is disabled/halted.
