Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide a computing environment that manages root certificates. An apparatus according to the present disclosure may comprise a non-volatile storage storing a plurality of root certificates and a supervisor. The supervisor may be configured to receive a message identifying one of the plurality of root certificates stored in the non-volatile storage to be revoked, verify the message being signed by at least two private keys corresponding to two root certificates stored in the non-volatile storage and revoke the root certificate identified in the message.
Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide a virtual integrated circuit card (ICC). In one aspect, a method of creating a virtual ICC may be provided. The method may comprise obtaining executable code configured to run on a user device to facilitate financial transactions, preparing a first encryption key usable by the executable code, receiving a second encryption key associated with the user device, forming a virtual ICC comprising the executable code and the first encryption key, and encrypting the virtual ICC with the second encryption key. In another aspect, a virtual ICC may be embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The virtual ICC may comprise executable code configured to run on a user device to facilitate financial transactions and a first encryption key usable by the executable code. The virtual ICC may be encrypted using a second encryption key associated with the user device.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for latency-oriented router. An incoming packet is received on a first interface. The type of the incoming packet is determined. Upon the detection that the incoming packet belongs to latency-critical traffic, the incoming packet is duplicated into one or more copies. Subsequently, the duplicated copies are sent to a second interface in a delayed fashion where the duplicated copies are spread over a time period. The duplicated copies are received and processed at the second interface.
Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide a footwear hydraulic system for harvesting power generated by pressing a foot on a surface and providing a cushion for the impact. In certain aspects, a hydraulic system for a footwear may comprise at least one chamber with a first and second compartments separated by an elastic membrane. The first compartment may be filled with gas and the second compartment may be filled with liquid. The gas may provide impact cushion and transient energy storage, and the liquid may pressured to push a generator to produce energy. The pressure may be generated by pressing the footwear on a surface and/or the elastic membrane of the chamber trying to restore its shape.
Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide a computing device configured for ensuring its proximity to a communication partner. In one aspect, the computing device may comprise a communication port and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a request from the communication partner via the communication port, send a response to the request to the communication partner, generate a secondary value that includes a selected portion of the request and a selected portion of the response, generate authenticating data to authenticate the secondary value and send the generated secondary value and authenticating data to the communication partner via the communication port. In another aspect, the communication partner is configured to ensure proximity of the computing device.
Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide an apparatus configured for preventing relay attacks on a communication link between the apparatus and a communication partner. The apparatus may comprise a communication port, a timer and a processor. The processor may be configured to generate a request, transmit the request through the communication link using the communication port and start counting time using the timer, receive a response via the communication port and stop the timer, receive authentication data via the communication port, authenticate the authentication data, compare the counted time with a predefined threshold, compare a first field within the request with a second field within the response and determine whether there is a relay attack.
Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide a computing environment that includes a secure zone for executing tasks. An apparatus according to the present disclosure may comprise a screen, a secure zone and an indicator operatively controlled by the secure zone. The secure zone may be configured to execute a task and to assume control over an output to the screen while the apparatus is operating in a secure mode and to transfer control over the output to the screen to a non-secure zone while the apparatus is operating in a non-secure mode.
Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide a computing environment that manages application specific identification of devices. An apparatus according to the present disclosure may comprise a non-volatile storage storing identifier (ID) base data and a processor. The processor may be configured to validate a certificate of an application being executed on the apparatus. The certificate may contain a code signer ID for a code signer of the application. The processor may further be configured to receive a request for a unique ID of the application, generate the unique ID from the code signer ID and the ID base data and return the generated unique ID.

Abstract:
The systems, methods and apparatuses described herein provide a chip for a cartridge with dispensable material may be provided. In one aspect, the chip may comprise a non-volatile memory for storing a number tracking amount of dispensable material in the cartridge, a circuit with permanently and irreversibly changeable state and circuit components configured to receive and process a first message, and receive a second message. The first message may comprise a first command and an operation input value for a print job at the cartridge, and to process the first message may comprise decreasing the amount of dispensable material. The second message may comprise a second command to increase the amount of dispensable material. The circuit components may be further configured to ignore the second command if the circuit has permanently and irreversibly changed its state to prevent responding to requests to increase the number tracking amount of dispensable material.
