Abstract: A sensor platform includes a programmable microcontroller to execute programming associated with one or more sensors in order to receive data from the one or more sensors and generate reports based on the data, and to enter a power-down mode in the absence of the data. The sensor platform also includes first and second transceivers. The first transceiver is configured to establish wireless connectivity with user devices using a first wireless protocol and to receive the programming from one or more of the user devices using the first wireless protocol. The second transceiver is configured to transmit the reports to a gateway using a second wireless protocol that is lower power, longer range, and/or lower fidelity than the first wireless protocol.

Abstract: A peripheral device, for use with a host, comprises one or more compute elements a security module and at least one encryption unit. The security module is configured to form a trusted execution environment on the peripheral device for processing sensitive data using sensitive code.

The at least one encryption unit is configured to encrypt and decrypt data transferred between the trusted execution environment and the trusted computing entity via the host computing device. The security module is configured to compute and send an attestation to the trusted computing entity to attest that the sensitive code is in the trusted execution environment.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data processing are described. Some database systems may implement data processing permits to manage data access. A database system may use encryption schemes to tie permits to data (e.g., cryptographically ensuring that the system follows data regulations). To support queries for a database implementing such encryption schemes, the database may implement a proxy. When the system receives a query, the database proxy may intercept and transform the query based on the encryption schema of the database. The database proxy may execute the transformed query at the database, receive encrypted query results in response, and decrypt the results for use by the querying application. Additionally, the system may access relevant data processing permits to support querying operations. For example, the system may use permits when transforming the query, executing the query in the database, preparing query results for the querying application, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing agricultural activities in a field region. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes identifying temperature grids for the field region, and identifying weather stations for the temperature grids. Each weather station is located at a weather station location in the temperature grids. The computer-implemented method also includes computing weight values based on the weather station locations of the weather stations, such that the weather stations that are more proximate to their respective grids have higher weights than weather stations that are less proximate to their respective grids, and receiving temperature readings from the weather stations. The computer-implemented method then includes computing a plurality of weighted temperatures based on the weight values, computing field condition data for the field region based on the weighted temperatures, and determining at least one field activity for the field region based on the field condition data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data processing are described. Some systems may support data processing permits and cryptographic techniques tying user consent to data handling. By tying user consent to data handling, the systems may comply with data regulations on a technical level and efficiently update to handle changing data regulations and/or regulations across different jurisdictions. For example, the system may maintain a set of data processing permits indicating user consent for the system to use a user's data for particular data processes. The system may encrypt the user's data using a cryptographic key (e.g., a cryptographic nonce) and may encrypt the nonce using permit keys for any permits applicable to that data. In this way, to access a user's data for a data process, the system may first verify that a relevant permit indicates that the user complies with the requested process prior to decrypting the user's data.
