  • Network assisted validation of secure connection to cellular infrastructure
    Patent number: 10869195
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for detecting rogue base stations and preventing malicious actors from intercepting and stealing data traffic from mobile devices through rogue base stations. Upon connecting to a newly detected base station for a cellular network service, a mobile device attempts to validate the cellular base station with a validation server before any data is transmitted over the new connection. If the mobile device does not receive a confirmation of validity from the validation server, the mobile device would identify the cellular base station as a rogue base station, disconnect from the rogue base station, and search for a valid base station for connection to the cellular network.

  • Verifying the security of a remote server
    Patent number: 9998438
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a client device 110 may use an attestation service 140 to verify a secure server 120. The secure server 120 may receive a signed trusted credential 310 from an attestation service 140 validating the secure server 120 as trustworthy to a client device 110 seeking access. The secure server 120 may protect the signed trusted credential 310 in a server secure module 280.
