Abstract: The invention concerns an outer door grip, in particular for vehicles. The outer door grip exhibits a handle (10), which can operate a lock disposed in the door upon actuation. The outer door grip exhibits a pivotal blocking member (20), which is normally placed in its ineffective release position (21) and therewith enables actuation of the handle (10). The blocking member (20) passes into an effective blocking position (22.1, 22.2) based on the inertia of the mass of the blocking member (20) in case of a crash, whereby the handle (10) becomes blocked. The blocking member (20) has available two blocking positions (22.1, 22.2), wherein the blocking member (20) moves into the first blocking position (22.1) upon a crash out of a first direction (30.1) and wherein the blocking member (20) moves into the second blocking position (22.2) upon a crash out of a second direction (30.2) located opposite to the first direction (30.1).

Abstract: Methods for ad-hoc trust establishment using visual verification are described. In a first embodiment, a visual representation of a shared data is generated on two or more devices and the visual representations generated can be visually compared by a user. This method can be used to verify that the correct devices are involved in a negotiation, when pre-existing trust relationships do not exist between the devices. The visual representation may, for example, comprise a picture with a number of different elements, each representing a part of the shared data. In another embodiment, a method of secure key exchange is described in which, before sharing the keys, the parties exchange information which encapsulates the key. This information can be used subsequently to check that a party has not changed the key that they are using and prevents a man in the middle attack.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for device virtualization and for communication between network devices are described. In one example, all devices on a first Local Area Network (LAN1) which are to communicate with devices on a second Local Area Network (LAN2) have a virtual presence on LAN2, and all the devices on LAN2 which are to communicate with devices on LAN1 have a virtual presence on LAN1, enabling these devices to communicate as if they were located in the same LAN. In another example, a device which uses different networking protocols to other devices on a network is virtualized on its own network, along with all the devices with which it communicates. In either example, the proposed virtualization technique may ensure that virtualized devices appear like physical devices to the other devices such that no modifications of the networking protocol is necessary to interact with a virtualized device.
