  • Patent number: 12021856
    Abstract: A mobile secure agent on a wireless device executes one or more authenticated data collection profiles provisioned by a private profile producer. Each data package can only be transmitted to a collector certificated by the same private profile producer. Update profiles are signed and provisioned through a tunnel initiated from the mobile secure agent. A Certificate Authority provides libraries, anchors, and certificates in a key management message module to each mobile secure agent which enables revocation and replacement of certificates. Data stored in this way on a wireless device may only be transmitted in encrypted form to an authenticated destination.

  • Patent number: 10080136
    Abstract: A mobile secure agent on a wireless device executes co-resident authenticated data collection profiles provisioned by private profile producers. Each wireless device has a MAC address that is transformed into a credibility token which is included in a notification to execute or update a data collection profile. The credibility token may also include attributes of location current or stored data. Each wireless device retains location history data transformed by encryption or by hashing. Each data package can only be transmitted to a collector certificated by the same private profile producer. Update profiles are signed and provisioned through a tunnel initiated from the mobile secure agent. A Certificate Authority provides libraries, anchors, and certificates in a key management message module to each mobile secure agent which enables revocation and replacement of certificates. Data stored in this way may only be transmitted to one destination per profile.

  • Patent number: 9178882
    Abstract: A system includes a bidirectional signal bus controlled by an M×S master/slave bridge circuit. An application processor having at least one core is communicatively coupled by the bidirectional signal bus to a radio processor having at least one virtual machine. The core hosts a master agent. The virtual machine hosts a slave agent. Each master agent is coupled to a collector server by an authenticated connection circuit to receive and store profiles and build and transmit packages. Each master agent is coupled to at least one slave agent and can transmit a profile to the slave agent and request and receive packages which are generated by the slave agent by executing the profile. Each slave agent receives and executes profiles to collect data from radio circuits and upon command builds and transmits data packages to a master agent.

  • Patent number: 6163679
    Abstract: A method for system acquisition for a subscriber unit (112) in a satellite communication system (100) maximizes life of a battery (320) of a battery-powered subscriber unit. A receiver (304) of the subscriber unit is energized only when ring bursts are expected from satellites in the system, serving to minimize consumption of battery power. During just two scans, the subscriber unit acquires enough information to enable it to identify the best beam for monitoring for a ring alert and to predict the nearby beams most likely to carry a ring alert targeted for the subscriber unit. From the received information, the subscriber unit can also perform necessary processes such as passive geolocation. The subscriber unit then enters a low-power standby mode, energizing the receiver only long enough to detect the best beam to scan for a ring alert targeted for the subscriber unit.
