Abstract:
Systems and methods may provide for obtaining a seed value from a location on a beacon device, using the seed value to initiate generation of a pseudo random number (PRN) tree having time-dependent branches, and sending a beacon signal based on the PRN tree and a timing schedule that corresponds to the time-dependent branches. Additionally, a PRN may be received, via an out-of-band link, at an observation device, wherein the PRN is associated with a particular time period. In one example, the PRN may be used by the observation device to generate a subset of a PRN number tree that corresponds to the particular time period. The observation device may also conduct a proximity determination of whether a detected beacon signal corresponds to one or more time-dependent branches of the subset of the PRN tree.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a processor comprises: a first logic to receive a random number associated with a user of a first computing system, generate a first pseudo random number seed based on the random number, the first pseudo random number seed associated with a first account of the user, and generate a sequence of pseudo random number seeds based on the first pseudo random number seed, where a first leaf of the sequence of pseudo random number seeds comprises a one time value associated with the first account; and a communication logic to communicate the one time value to a second computing system associated with a merchant, where a credit entity is to authorize a transaction occurring at a first time quantum based at least in part on the one time value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:
Technologies for utilizing trusted messaging include a local computing device including a message client and a local trusted message module established in a trusted execution environment. The local trusted message module performs attestation of a remote computing device based on communication with a corresponding remote trusted message module established in a trusted execution environment of the remote computing device. The local trusted message module further exchanges, with the remote trusted message module, cryptographic keys in response to successful attestation of the remote computing device. The message client forwards outgoing messages to the local trusted message module and receives incoming messages from the local trusted message module. To securely transmit an outgoing message to the remote computing device, the local trusted message module receives the outgoing message from the message client, encrypts the outgoing message, and cryptographically signs the outgoing message, prior to transmittal to the remote trusted message module of the remote computing device. To securely receive an incoming message from the remote computing device, the local trusted message module receives the incoming message from the remote trusted message module of the remote computing device, decrypts the incoming message, and verifies a cryptographic signature of the incoming message, based on the exchanged cryptographic keys and prior to transmittal of the incoming message to the message client.
