Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement license management solutions for software defined silicon (SDSi) products are disclosed. Example license management solutions disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, virtual resource migration using SDSi, resource configuration management using SDSi, hardware self-configuration using SDSi, reduced footprint agents using SDSi, performing SDSi usage evaluation and corresponding license transfer responsive to detected and/or predicted failures, transferring node locked SDSi licenses, transfer of SDSi licenses without a trusted license server, community license generation, expirable SDSi licenses via a reliable clock, non-node locked licenses via blockchain, and activating hardware features with a pre-generated hardware license.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments enable applying production nature to a software signature post-build (or even post-release), where the signature type is determined by the existence of a production-signed intermediate CA certificate—either hosted in the cloud (for pure release immutability), or re-ingested into the package (if certain modification are allowed). This allows a so-called deferred issuance of the product release. Even if the CA certificate is to be reinserted into the package, this modification likely affects only the delivery shell (e.g., installer) and may not require format-specific binary changes of, possibly heterogeneous, artifacts therein.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate distributed data backup. An example apparatus includes a controller to detect a trigger event for a distributed backup mode; and, in response to detection of the trigger event, trigger the distributed backup mode. When in the distributed backup mode, the controller of the example apparatus is to identify one or more receiving devices within communication range of the apparatus available to receive a data backup from the apparatus. The example apparatus includes a data distributor to distribute data from the apparatus among the one or more receiving devices. The controller of the example apparatus is to confirm receipt of the distributed data by the one or more receiving devices.

Abstract: Various examples relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer programs for executing an executable, and to a method for distributing software or firmware. An apparatus for executing an executable comprises interface circuitry, machine-readable instructions, and processing circuitry for executing the machine-readable instructions to identify, for the executable, a trigger to activate or deactivate a noise injection mode during execution of the executable, the noise injection mode being suitable for introducing noise during execution of the executable, and activate or deactivate the noise injection mode based on the identified trigger.

Abstract: A system and method of authenticating a development environment include receiving, by one or more processors associated with a source code repository, a development profile from a development environment. Sending the development profile to a trusted profile verifier to be registered as a trusted development profile. Receiving a pending source file commit request, where the pending source file commit request includes source code files and a current development profile. Facilitating verification of whether the current development profile matches the trusted development profile. When it is verified that the current development profile matches the trusted development profile, accepting the source code files.

Abstract: A method comprises issuing a challenge to a target computing device, receiving, from the target computing device, a response to the challenge, the response comprising a self-attestation proof, a root of trust (RoT) certificate, and a set of current attestation measurements, and generating a signal indicative of a security status of the target based upon a determination of whether the set of current attestation measurements match a set of expected attestation measurements for the target computing device.

Abstract: A method comprises generating, during a software build process conducted in a trusted build environment, a trusted log comprising a plurality of records of actions performed during the software build process and a plurality of identifiers of tools used to perform the actions, aggregating the plurality of records of actions and the plurality of identifiers into a build certificate file, generating a digital signature to be applied to the build certificate, and publishing the build certificate in association with one or more build artifacts generated by the software build process.

Abstract: A method comprises generating an original digital content, generating a first set of rules pertaining to permissible changes to the original digital content, generating a cryptographically signed certificate comprising the first set of rules and a hash of the original digital content, and publishing the original digital content and the associated cryptographically signed certificate.

Abstract: A method comprises discovering, in a controller device, one or more target devices that are in a pairing mode, generating, in the controller device, a first signal comprising a pattern, transmitting, from the controller device to a first remote device, the first signal comprising the pattern, receiving, in the controller device, a second signal from a second remote device, the second signal comprising a authentication code, and authenticating the one or more target devices when the first authentication signal and the second authentication signal match.

Abstract: Technologies for securely exchanging sensor information include an in-vehicle computing system of a vehicle to establish a trusted execution environment and a secure communication channel between the trusted execution environment and a corresponding trusted execution environment of a coordination server. A private key is bound to the trusted execution environment of the in-vehicle computing system. The in-vehicle computing system confirms the authenticity of the coordination server, receives sensor data generated by a sensor of the vehicle, and generates an attestation quote based on the trusted execution environment of the in-vehicle computing system. The in-vehicle computing system further transmits, to the coordination server over the secure communication channel, the sensor data, the attestation quote, and a cryptographically-signed communication signed with the private key.
