Patent number: 12047506Abstract: A device that includes a secure element or a secure environment receives a token for authenticating a user that has an account with a service provider. The device generates, based on the token, a set of keys that include at least a private key and a public key. The device performs a key authentication procedure to compare the set of keys and a configured set of keys and selects a public key, of the set of keys or the configured set of keys, based on a result of the key authentication procedure. The device causes a device identifier of the device and the public key to be provided to another device that uses the device identifier and the public key to perform an authentication procedure to authenticate the user. The device receives, from the other device, an indication of whether the device is connected to a network.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Warren Hojilla Uy, Manuel Enrique Caceres, Bruno Mendez

Patent number: 12015600Abstract: A device may receive a request to establish a virtualized environment to support a session for a client device in communication with the computing device over a network. The device may instantiate the virtualized environment in a trusted execution environment of the device, wherein the trusted execution environment may include one or more hardware resources that isolate the virtualized environment from a rich execution environment associated with the device. The device may cause a hardware security module associated with the device to obtain one or more cryptographic keys by communicating with a secure element of the client device, and the device may secure communication between a local operating system executing on the client device and the virtualized environment instantiated in the trusted execution environment using the one or more cryptographic keys.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2022Date of Patent: June 18, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Manuel Enrique Caceres, Taussif Khan, Mauricio Pati Caldeira De Andrada, Warren Hojilla Uy

Patent number: 11871225Abstract: A first wireless access device, associated with a wireless service provider, establishes a wireless local area network connection with a second wireless access device and receives a certificate including a unique identifier associated with the second wireless access device. The first wireless access device determines whether the second wireless access device is authorized to connect to the first wireless access device. For example, if the certificate is signed by a certificate authority associated with the wireless service provider and the unique identifier appears in a whitelist stored at the first wireless access device, the first wireless access device and the second wireless access device perform a mutual authentication procedure based on one or more ephemeral keys. The first wireless access device provides the second wireless access device with access to a wide area network based on successful completion of the mutual authentication procedure.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Warren Hojilla Uy, Young R.

Patent number: 11849032Abstract: A system described herein provide for the secure maintaining and providing of information, such as public keys used in Public Key Infrastructure (“PKI”) techniques or other techniques, using a secure distributed ledger (e.g., “blockchain”) system. A blockchain system may be utilized in lieu of a key escrow system in the exchange and/or providing of public keys in a Diffie-Hellman key exchange technique or other type of technique in which public keys are provided from one entity to another. A first entity may generate an asymmetric key pair that includes a public key and a private key, and may provide the public key to a blockchain system for retrieval by one or more other entities. For example, the entities may be engaged in a secure messaging session, in which messages are encrypted and may be decrypted using one or more keys, including the public key.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: John M.

Patent number: 11829773Abstract: A network device may load, via a boot ROM application, a provider bootloader application from a memory of the network device and may calculate a first hash value based on decrypting a provider bootloader signature with a provider public key. The network device may calculate a second hash value based on the provider bootloader application and may utilize, when the first hash value and the second hash value are equivalent, the provider bootloader application to load an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) bootloader application from the memory. The network device may calculate a third hash value based on decrypting an OEM bootloader signature with one of a plurality of OEM public keys. The network device may calculate a fourth hash value based on the OEM bootloader application. The network device may complete, when the third hash value and the fourth hash value are equivalent, a boot process for the network device.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Young Rak Choi, Warren Hojilla Uy, Dayong He, Manuel Enrique Caceres

Publication number: 20230354008Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a third party subscription management of end device profiles service is provided. The service may include obtaining a profile for a card of an end device from a third party device in which the profile includes a temporary element. For example, the temporary element may be a temporary keyset or a temporary USIM. During initial connectivity and activation with a core network, the card logic may obtain and update the profile with a permanent element for registration and activation procedures with the core network. In this way, security exposure with a third party device relating to a profile may be eliminated or minimized.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Warren Hojilla Uy, Thomas W.
