Patent number: 11722315Abstract: Systems and methods for storing and recovering data for a device are described. In one embodiment, factory generated calibration data can be generated, sealed and restored securely even if two sensors in two different devices, such as a first ambient light sensor and a second ambient light sensor have the same sensor identifier. In one embodiment, a device transmits a database key to cause storage or recovery of the calibration data, and the database key includes a sensor identifier and a public cryptographic key of the device.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Thomas P. Mensch, Chiye K. Kojima, Han Jong Yu, Jerrold V. Hauck, Muralidhar S. Vempaty, Peter Chang, Tiffany Shih-Yu Fang, Yiqun Zhu

Patent number: 10372932Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, devices and systems for securely generating, sealing, and restoring factory-generated calibration and provisioning data for an electronic device are described, in which calibration and provisioning data for an electronic device are generated in a distributed manner and stored on a storage system. The calibration data can be retrieved from the storage system during device assembly and finalized calibration and provisioning data for each electronic device can be stored to the storage system. In one embodiment, a sealing server, to attest to the authenticity of the factory generated data, seals the finalized calibration data. In one embodiment, an electronic device can access a data store containing the factory-generated data and can update or restore calibration or provisioning data for the device from the data store.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Thomas P. Mensch, Jason D. Gosnell, Jerrold V. Hauck, Muralidhar S. Vempaty, Dallas B. De Atley

Patent number: 8725112Abstract: To securely factory activate a mobile device according to authorized records, factory activation server generates and sends a signed factory activation record including a signed factory activation ticket. Signed factory activation record and ticket are cryptographically signed using factory private key stored in factory activation server. Factory private key is different from customer private key stored in the activation server that provides activation tickets for customer activation. If factory activation record is valid, application processor (AP) included in the device performs factory activation of the device which includes AP activating to allow for factory testing and rebooting at a predetermined reboot time.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Dallas B.
