Abstract: Securely exchanging keys to establish secure connections to low powered connected devices (LPCDs), such as smart devices and IoT (Internet Of Things) devices, and mutual authentication between these devices and third party controllers is accomplished via a higher performance machine configured with a dedicated remote service (DRS). A known symmetric pre-shared key (PSK) is used to establish a secure first connection between the LPCD and the DRS using another symmetric key. The DRS can then use asymmetric key exchange to securely send a new symmetric key to the 3P, and send the same new symmetric key to the LPCD using the secure first connection. This facilitates LPCDs to securely establish secure communications with other devices, in particular for control by third party (3P) devices. This also allows authentication of the LPCD with cloud services, and enables a DRS to vouch for associated devices to other DRSs.

Abstract: A method for exchanging data between a buyer side and a service provider (SP) side. The buyer proposes to acquire merchandise such as a garment, and the SP retains access to a variety of pieces of merchandise for which a match between the buyer side and the SP side is to be sought. To accomplish, first an image of an existing garment together with a reference object is acquired by an imaging mobile communications system. Then the image us rectified by using data relating to the reference object. Subsequently scale is computed and a model of the garment is made. The model is sent by the interne to the SP to match with existing data base items.
