    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a first device that identifies definitions of different groups of devices, each of which is defined by a set of properties required for a device to be a member. The method monitors properties of the first device to determine when the device is eligible for membership in a group. When the first device is eligible for membership in a first group of which the device is not a member, the method sends an application for membership in the first group signed with at least a private key of the device to at least one other device that is a member of the first group. When the first device becomes ineligible for membership in a second group of which the first device is a member, the method removes the device from the second group and notifies other devices that are members of the second group.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a first device to synchronize a set of data items with a second device. The method receives a request to synchronize the set of data items stored on the first device with the second device. The method determines a subset of the synchronization data items stored on the first device that belong to at least one synchronization sub-group in which the second device participates. Participation in at least one of the synchronization sub-groups is defined based on membership in at least one verification sub-group. The first and second devices are part of a set of related devices with several different verification sub-groups. The method sends only the subset of the synchronization data items that belong to at least one synchronization sub-group in which the second device participates to the second device using a secure channel.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for securely injecting one or more key values into an electronic device by reading with a fingerprint sensor a manufactured key device having a key value. A secure communication channel between a fingerprint sensor and a secure processing system enables the reading, processing, and storing of the fingerprint sensor data from the key device. The key device includes a conductive substantially planar substrate (“substrate”) with raised conductive portions configured to encode a key value. The substrate can be made from a non-conductive material and have conductive material applied to the substrate to encode the key value. The substrate can be covered with an opaque, conductive layer so that the encoding cannot be visually perceived. The encoding scheme can be a QR code, a bar code, an image, an alphanumeric string, or other encoding. One or more electronic device access policies can be associated with a key value to control how an electronic device can be used when the electronic device is accessed with the manufactured key device.
