Abstract: The apparatus receives a first PDU and a first CRC that is based on the first PDU. The first PDU is encrypted based on a first nonce. The apparatus decrypts the first PDU to obtain a first payload and a first cipher stream. The apparatus soft combines the decrypted first payload with a decrypted set of payloads. The set of payloads have been encrypted based on at least one nonce different than the first nonce. The apparatus generates a second CRC based on the soft combined decrypted payloads and based on the first cipher stream. The apparatus determines whether the generated second CRC for the soft combined decrypted payloads passes a CRC check against the first CRC.

Abstract: Multiple systems, methods, and computer program product embodiments for password-less authentication using key agreement and multi-party computation (MPC). In one or more embodiments, following an authentication request received by a host computing device, the host computing device and a user computing device generate a shared key using a key agreement algorithm. Then, the host computing device generates a challenge that is encrypted using the shared key and transmitted to the user computing device. The user computing device decrypts the challenge after regenerating the shared key and sends the decrypted result to the host computing device as the challenge response. The authentication request is granted by the host computing device if the challenge and the challenge response match. New keys and a new challenge are generated for each authentication request. This process relies on public key cryptography eliminating the needs for passwords.

Abstract: Examples include a system and computer-implemented method to create a cloud native workload identity (CNWI) and assign the CNWI to an instance of a workload to be instantiated in a cloud computing environment of a cloud service provider (CSP); translate the CNWI into a cloud agnostic workload identity (CAWI) and assign the CAWI to the workload instance; and use the CAWI by the workload instance to communicate with other workloads in the same or a different CSP.

Abstract: Systems and methods for Bluetooth voice link shadowing are disclosed. A primary device may receive an eSCO packet from host device over master slot(s) of an enhanced synchronization connection oriented (eSCO) window within an interval of a host piconet shared between the host and primary devices. A secondary device may sniff for the eSCO packet also over master slot(s) of the eSCO window. When the primary device successfully receives the eSCO packet from the host, it may unconditionally relay the packet to the secondary device. Alternatively, it may conditionally relay the packet when the secondary device does not successfully sniff the packet. When the secondary device successfully sniffs the eSCO packet from the host, it may unconditionally relay the packet to the primary device. Alternatively, it may conditionally relay the packet when the primary device does not successfully receive the packet.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to generating authentication information independent of user input. In some embodiments, an authentication application repeatedly performs operations to authenticate a client application to one or more hosts of a server system during an automated tasks. In some such embodiments, an instance of the operations includes receiving, from the client application, a request to generate authentication information. In response to the request, the authentication application may retrieve authentication data for the user and, independent of user input, generate an item of authentication information based on the authentication data. The authentication application may then output the item of authentication information to the client application, where the item of authentication information is usable by the client application to authenticate to at least one of the one or more hosts.

Abstract: A data protection policy can specify which applications are allowed and/or dis-allowed from accessing cloud data that is subject to a data protection policy (i.e., data that has been assigned a classification and/or an owner.) To enforce that policy, the operating system (or other trusted entity) that stores or caches access credentials only provides these credentials to applications that are allowed by the policy. In this manner, because they are not provided with the credentials required to access the network resource, the dis-allowed applications cannot access the ‘protected’ data thereby helping prevent these dis-allowed (or non-compliant) applications from leaking data.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for an error correction technique that identifies transmission errors and corrective actions to maintain a link are disclosed herein. An example method of wireless communications includes receiving a first PDU comprising at least one of a SEQN bit or a packet counter value. The example method includes determining whether a value of the SEQN bit of the received first PDU is an expected SEQN or an unexpected SEQN. The example method includes calculating a MIC of the received first PDU. The example method includes determining whether the received first PDU is a re-transmission of a previous PDU or the received first PDU comprising errors. The example method includes transmitting an ACK or a NACK in response to the determination of whether the first PDU is the re-transmission of the previous PDU or the first PDU comprising errors.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may communicate with a second device, which may be a Bluetooth device, using a relay profile (e.g., a low energy (LE) isochronous (ISO) relay profile). In accordance with broadcast discovery signaling by the device and decisions made by the Bluetooth device, the device may synchronize to a broadcast isochronous stream (BIS) from another device. The device may then establish a communication link with the second device (e.g., a synchronous connection oriented (SCO) link, an enhanced synchronous connection oriented (eSCO) link, an asynchronous connection less (ACL) link) to be used for relay of the BIS. The device may then convert, based on the relay profile, broadcast isochronous data packets of the BIS to SCO packets, eSCO packets, and/or ACL packets, and relay the converted packets to the second device via the established communication link.

Abstract: Systems and methods for network coordination are disclosed. A method comprises listening to a primary device during a receiving slot group of a primary/secondary (P/S) piconet shared between the primary device and the secondary device, determining based on the listening during the receiving slot group whether the primary device is attempting to communicate with the secondary device, listening to a host device on a host piconet during a transmitting slot group of the P/S piconet in response to a determination that the primary device is not attempting to communicate with the secondary device, and transmitting to the primary device over the P/S piconet during the transmitting slot group of the P/S piconet in response to a determination that the primary device is attempting to communicate with the secondary device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic link recovery are described. Generally, a first device may transmit a first packet to a second device using a first set of transmission parameters, and may monitor for a feedback message from the second device. The first device may not receive a feedback message, and may therefore generate a second packet with the same sequence number as the first packet, and may introduce an error to the second packet that will trigger a feedback message from the second device, and may transmit the second packet to the second device using second transmission parameters (e.g., that are more robust than the first transmission parameters). The first device may monitor for and receive a feedback message from the second device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may receive a first packet including a set of segments. A segment of the set of segments may include a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The device may determine a corruption of one or more segments of the first packet, and process the one or more segments based on the corruption. The device may receive a second packet based on the corruption of the one or more segments of the first packet. The second packet may include one or more of the segments of the first packet. The device may process the one or more segments of the first packet received in the second packet, and transmit a positive acknowledgment indicating a reception of all segments of the set of segments based on the first packet and the second packet.
