Abstract:
A device for securing USB or Firewire port interconnections includes a microcontroller comprising a processor; a first connector/lead in communication with the microcontroller and configured to be coupled with a USB or Firewire external device; and a second connector/lead in communication with the microcontroller and configured to be coupled with a protected host. An optional user interface communicates with the microcontroller. When the microcontroller detects that the external device is coupled to the first connector/lead, the processor is configured to display a prompt on the user interface for a user to initiate inputs prior to the external device being allowed to connect with the protected host; or is configured to automatically prevent the external device from being connected with the protected host if the external device is on a blacklist of devices known to have device handlers in the protected host at a BIOS level, without modifying the protected host.
Abstract:
A device connectable between a host computer and a computer peripheral over a standard bus interface is disclosed, used to improve security, and to detect and prevent malware operation. Messages passing between the host computer and the computer peripherals are intercepted and analyzed based on pre-configured criteria, and legitimate messages transparently pass through the device, while suspected messages are blocked. The device communicates with the host computer and the computer peripheral using proprietary or industry standard protocol or bus, which may be based on a point-to-point serial communication such as USB or SATA. The messages may be stored in the device for future analysis, and may be blocked based on current or past analysis of the messages. The device may serve as a VPN client and securely communicate with a VPN server using the host Internet connection.
Abstract:
Real time system for two-directional memorization and transmission of the controls and data for a processor in the I/O process, with external serial peripherals such as graphic tablets and/or digitizers for the handwritten signature, which utilises an external medium for storing static data so as to constitute a transmission buffer capable of operating with the serial peripheral unit seen as a “USB drive” removable virtual disc. There is only used the file constituted as a linear sequential succession of data in sectors of constant dimensions, which can be shared between the serial peripheral unit and the processor, which can both read and write it, in virtually coinciding instants. There is defined the transmission of asynchronous I/O with data blocks with contents in the order of the Kbyte and a storage area as large as desired, used as a temporary storage for the passage of data awaiting to be transmitted.
Abstract:
Aspects disclosed in the detailed description include scheduled universal serial bus (USB) low-power operations. In this regard, in one aspect, a USB host controller determines a low-power operation schedule for a USB client device. The low-power operation schedule comprises one or more scheduled low-power operation periods, each corresponding to a respective entry time and a respective exit time. The USB host controller communicates the low-power operation schedule to the USB client device using one or more USB standard packets. By scheduling the one or more scheduled low-power operation periods with respective entry and exit times, the USB host controller or the USB client controller is able to start and end the one or more scheduled low-power operation periods without incurring additional signaling, thus improving efficiency of the USB low-power operation. Further, by communicating the low-power operation schedule using USB standard packets, it is possible to preserve compatibility with USB standards.
Abstract:
In an example, a method for transmitting data includes determining, at a Universal Serial Bus (USB) host, a USB data transfer type of USB data being transmitted from the host device to a USB device, and determining a priority of the USB data based on the determined USB data transfer type. The example method also includes controlling transfer of the USB data from a protocol adaptation layer (PAL) of the USB host to a network layer of the USB host based on the determined priority.
Abstract:
A portable, application-specific USB autorun device, following connection to a computer terminal, automatically initialises or presents itself as a known type of device and then automatically sends to the terminal a sequence of data complying with a standard protocol, that sequence of data automatically causing content to be accessed or a task to be initiated. The device (i) includes a standardised USB module that includes a USB microcontroller, the standardised module being designed to be attached to or embedded in multiple types of different, application specific packages but (ii) excludes mass memory storage for applications or end-user data.
Abstract:
A composite connector is used for receiving a first and a second docking connectors (700, 800) and includes: an insulation main body (1); a first tongue (11) and a second tongue (12), and plural first, second and third terminals (3, 4, 5). The first tongue (11) and the second tongue (12) are connected to the insulation main body (1); the first terminals (3) and the second terminals (4) are disposed on two surfaces of the first tongue (11) for allowing the first docking connected (700) to be connected; the third terminals (5) are disposed on any surface of the second tongue (12) for allowing the second docking connector (800) to be connected. Accordingly, two interfaces can be integrated in the same connector, thereby achieving an objective of composite operation.
