    Abstract: Systems and methods for validating and applying modifications to a policy control function (PCF) of a station. The methods include generating a PCF package including a modification to a PCF, and determining whether the PCF package is to be transmitted to the station by a first or second entity. The methods further include when the PCF package is to be transmitted by the first entity, including a first signature of the first entity in a deliverer field of the PCF package, and when the PCF package is to be transmitted by the second entity, including the first signature in an owner field and a second signature of the second entity in the deliverer field. The methods further include receiving the PCF package from the first or second entity, determining whether the PCF package is valid, and applying the modification to the PCF when it is determined the PCF package is valid.

    Abstract: Controllers can be used to control the operation of various accessories. Controllers with access to a particular accessory (or group of accessories) can be organized into a controller network to facilitate control. The controller network can include various proxy devices including bridge and tunnel proxies that can relay messages to and from accessories, perform protocol translations, and/or provide communication security. Some proxy devices can include decision logic to enable coordinated control over one or more accessories by the controllers in the controller network.

    Abstract: A policy-based framework is described. This policy-based framework may be used to specify the privileges for logical entities to perform operations associated with an access-control element (such as an electronic Subscriber Identity Module) located within a secure element in an electronic device. Note that different logical entities may have different privileges for different operations associated with the same or different access-control elements. Moreover, the policy-based framework may specify types of credentials that are used by the logical entities during authentication, so that different types of credentials may be used for different operations and/or by different logical entities. Furthermore, the policy-based framework may specify the security protocols and security levels that are used by the logical entities during authentication, so that different security protocols and security levels may be used for different operations and/or by different logical entities.

    Abstract translation: 描述了基于策略的框架。 该基于策略的框架可以用于指定逻辑实体执行与位于电子设备中的安全元件内的访问控制元素(例如电子订户身份模块)相关联的操作的权限。 注意,对于与相同或不同的访问控制元素相关联的不同操作,不同的逻辑实体可以具有不同的权限。 此外,基于策略的框架可以指定在认证期间由逻辑实体使用的凭证的类型,使得不同类型的凭证可以用于不同的操作和/或由不同的逻辑实体使用。 此外,基于策略的框架可以指定在认证期间由逻辑实体使用的安全协议和安全级别,使得不同的安全协议和安全级别可以用于不同的操作和/或不同的逻辑实体。
