  • Patent number: 10657519
    Abstract: A device may perform a first authentication operation, associated with a contactless media device, using a first key. The first key may permit a security mode of the contactless media device to be modified. The device may cause the contactless media device to set the security mode to a first security mode that causes the contactless media device to secure at least one transmission from the contactless media device. The device may perform a second authentication operation, associated with the contactless media device, using a second key that permits information to be read from or written to the contactless media device. The device may read first secured information from or write second secured information to the contactless media device. The first secured information or the second secured information may be secured based on the security mode of the contactless media device being set to the first security mode.

  • Patent number: 10181224
    Abstract: A device may receive a test scenario that includes actions to be performed by test equipment. The test scenario may be associated with a test suite. The device may receive availability information indicating a quantity, a type, or a status of the test equipment or a resource of the test equipment for performing the actions. The device may determine an order in which the actions are to be performed. The device may generate scheduling information for the actions based on the order and the availability information. The device may schedule the actions for execution by the test equipment. The device may transmit information that causes the actions to be performed by the test equipment based on the scheduling information.

  • Patent number: 10074222
    Abstract: A secure short-distance-based communication and validation system validates users in a validation area. The system may include multiple zones in the validation area and beacons in each zone. A run-time mobile device identifier and keys that may be location-specific, device-specific and time-specific are generated and utilized for secure communication between mobile devices and a zone computer in a zone. The validation area may be in a vehicle, and validation may include deducting a fare.

  • Patent number: 9608999
    Abstract: A secure beacon-based system includes beacons that may generate dynamic beacon identifiers. A mobile device application may send a request to an application server, including a dynamic beacon identifier. The application server can locally compute the dynamic beacon identifier and compare it to the received beacon identifier to validate the request and determine whether to respond to the request.

  • Patent number: 9477855
    Abstract: A test robot may receive a test scenario for testing a fare management system. The test robot may program a fare card to store card information based on the test scenario. The test robot may provide an instruction to an actuator component to cause the actuator component to move the fare card within communicative proximity of a card reader device. The fare card, when moved within communicative proximity of the card reader device, may cause the card reader device to read the stored card information from the fare card and to provide updated card information, based on the stored card information, for storage by the fare card. The test robot may read the updated card information from the fare card. The test robot may provide test result information, based on the updated card information, to a test management device.
