  • Publication number: 20250260690
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling secure access to data in hybrid-cloud environments. A trusted authorisation server controls access to data served by a resource server to client devices in an untrusted environment, to ensure client devices are only able to access data that they are permitted to access. In the present techniques, the trusted authorisation server checks the validity of data access requests received from client devices prior to any such requests being received by the resource server or an authorisation server associated with the resource server. This is advantageous because in many existing hybrid-cloud systems, the resource server and authorisation server are unable to check the individual validity of requests received from client devices. This is particularly problematic for multi-tenant resource servers. The present techniques provide a more secure way of controlling access to data stored and served by cloud-based, off-premises/third party resource servers.

  • Patent number: 10824700
    Abstract: Device, system, and method of selective activation and configuration of components. A manufactured electronic device includes at least one hardware component which is locked or disabled or deactivated, or is feature-constrained. An end-user of the electronic device utilizes a computerized platform or a cloud-based platform to request activation or upgrade of that hardware component, optionally together with paying a fee for such request. In response to the request, an access token is generated by the manufacturer of the electronic device, with cryptographic elements that indicate to the electronic device that the request is approved and authorized by the manufacturer and also by the relevant vendor or communications carrier. The electronic device validates the access token, and modifies configurational parameters in its secure storage to activate or to upgrade the capabilities of the relevant hardware components of the electronic device.
