    Abstract: A method is provided for secure provisioning of a device. In the method, a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) devices is manufactured by a first entity for use in the device. The first entity provides signed provisioning software and stores in at least one provisioning IC device one or more keys used for provisioning the plurality of ICs. The provisioning device with the signed provisioning software is provided to a second entity. The second entity verifies the provisioning software using a stored key. The provisioning software encrypts provisioning assets provided by the second entity and provides the encrypted provisioning assets to the third entity. The signed provisioning software is provided to a third entity by the first entity. During manufacturing of the manufactured products by the third entity, the provisioning software verifies and decrypts the encrypted provisioning assets of the second entity to provision all the plurality of IC devices.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing both wireless communications and wireless sensing in combination. The systems include at least a first base station having at least one antenna device where the antenna device includes a beamformer control unit that uses a modifiable lookup table to control beam characteristics. The system may send a first set of electromagnetic sensing beams to a first environmental area within a field of view of the at least one antenna device to detect environmental objects within the environmental area. Based on data received by the antenna device, the system may generate a modified lookup table.
