Patent number: 10931456Abstract: Systems and methods involving secure device authentication using aspects of a zero-knowledge password proof approach are disclosed. In one example, a device may generate a self-authenticating message including its identity and/or its capabilities. The device may use a secret value, random nonce, public ephemeral value (PEV), session key, and/or other values to generate the self-authenticating message. The secret value may be unknown to device receiving the self-authenticating message. With the use of pre-loaded values, including a verifier, the receiving device may compare a host-HMAC with the router-HMAC to verify the authenticity of the message. Such authentication may be used, inter alia, on an Internet Protocol network utilizing Neighbor Discovery protocol.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Christopher Zarcone, John Jason Brzozowski

Publication number: 20200287827Abstract: Some aspects of the methods and systems presented relate to performing stateless address translation between IPv4 capable devices to IPv6 capable networks and devices. Stateless address translation may form a new IPv6 addresses by combining the IPv4 address of a device with an IPv6 prefix address assigned to the translator. The translation may also combine the IPv4 destination address and UDP port information with the new IPv6 address. Existing Domain Name Systems (DNSs) may be leveraged for resolving the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses across different networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2020Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventors: John Jason Brzozowski, Joseph Pryszlak

Publication number: 20200127911Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for routing messages in a network. Gateways may be selectively chosen to forward messages from a user device to a network server. Gateways may forward messages based on forwarding priorities for the user device. The forwarding priorities may, for example, indicate a repeat count threshold for a quantity of times the gateway may receive a message from a particular user device before the gateway forwards the message.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2018Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Ross Gilson, John Jason Brzozowski, Brett Dietsch, Jessica Phillips

Publication number: 20190327137Abstract: A method of initializing, provisioning, and managing a cable modem and a customer premise equipment device includes sending a customized configuration file to the cable modem. The configuration file contains service provisioning information and further includes information indicative of a network address type for the customer premise equipment device. A message is passed from the cable modem to the customer premise equipment device indicative of the network address type. The customer premise equipment device is provided with a network address in accordance with the network address type indicated in the message. In this way, the customer premise equipment device knows what kind of address to obtain, and excessive transactions are avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2018Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Pak Siripunkaw, John Jason Brzozowski, Srinivas Avirneni, Emery J.

Publication number: 20190288910Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. One method can comprise determining presence of a first network device associated with a network. If the first network device is not present, a second network device can be configured to assume authority of the network. If the first network device is present, the second network device can be configured to join the network. Other aspects relate to providing services in an environment having multiple service providers.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2019Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventors: John Jason Brzozowski, John Leddy
