Abstract: A storage controller coupled to a multi-tenant storage array receives a request from a client device to write a data block to a volume resident on the storage array, wherein the client device is associated with a tenant of the storage array. The storage controller determines a tenant identifier associated with the tenant, generates a hash value for the data block based at least in part on the data block and the tenant identifier, and performs at least one data deduplication operation on the data block using the hash value by determining whether the hash value matches with any of the plurality of previous hash values that are identified in a deduplication map. Responsive to determining that the hash value does not match with any of the plurality of previous hash values that are identified in the deduplication map, the hash value is stored in the deduplication map.

Abstract: Systems and methods securely provide media content from a media server to a media client via a network. The media content is segmented to create multiple media segments that are each identified in a playlist, and at least one of the media segments is encrypted using a cryptographic key. The cryptographic key is also identified in the playlist, and the playlist is provided from the media server to the media client via the network. The various media segments and cryptographic keys may then be requested from and provided by the media server using hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) or similar constructs to allow the media client to receive and decrypt the various segments of the media content.

Abstract: Techniques for manufacturing cryptographically-enabled network endpoints are described herein. In an example, an endpoint is provisioned with keys, which may include a revocation key, a command key, a recovery key and other cryptographic information. A buyer of the endpoint may send one or more keys to the manufacturer, and request that a handover package be sent by the manufacturer to the buyer. The manufacturer sends the handover package, which may include cryptographic information appropriately signed by the manufacturer. Upon receipt, the handover package is cryptographically processed by the buyer and portions are included in a takeover package sent to the endpoint. The endpoint may replace operational keys within the endpoint and switch its operation from use of manufacturer-produced credentials to use of buyer-produced credentials. Accordingly, the endpoint is provisioned for secure operation by the owner in an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) or Internet of Things environment.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for pool-based identity generation and use for service access is disclosed. The method in an example embodiment includes seeding an identity generator with a private key; retrieving independently verifiable data corresponding to a service consumer; using the independently verifiable data to create signed assertions corresponding to the service consumer; generating a non-portable identity document associated with the service consumer, the identity document including the signed assertions; signing the identity document with the private key; and conveying the signed identity document to the service consumer via a secure link.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling access to an electronic device. The electronic device, for example, may include, but is not limited to, a processor, a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory is configured to store a password for accessing the electronic device, and a communication interface communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to receive a request to access the electronic device from the communication interface, and transmit an encrypted version of the password for accessing the electronic device via the communication interface.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device that selects a password and encrypts it utilizing a public key of a public/private encryption key pair. The electronic device then provides the encrypted password to a client device when an access request is received from the client device. The client device proceeds to obtain an unencrypted version of the password by submitting the encrypted password to a private key server (which utilizes the private key of the public/private encryption key pair to decrypt the password) and receiving the decrypted password in return. The client device then returns the password to the electronic device which, upon receiving the decrypted password, allows access from the client device. The device generates the password once during operation or each time an access request is received.
