摘要:
Techniques are described for generating high quality entropy in a software only or a hardware assisted software environment, such as a virtualized environment. Embodiments of the invention describe creating an entropy pool within the virtualized environment using multiple sources of entropy. The entropy pool may be used in creating dynamically customizable and high entropy RNG and PUF. The sources of entropy may include trusted sources, untrusted sources and entropy sources with a varied scale of trust and entropy quality associated with them.

A manageability engine of a processor based device and a host theft-deterrence agent of the processor based device, jointly implement a theft-deterrence protocol with a theft-deterrence service, remotely disposed from the processor based device, to deter theft of the processor based device. The host theft-deterrence agent is configured to operate in a processor operated application execution environment of the processor based device, and the manageability engine is configured to operate outside the application execution environment.

A device, system, and machine readable medium for headless sensor measurements are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device is exclusive of a display. The device includes a sensor head to retrieve an amount of measurement data from an environment. The device also includes an I/O interface, a memory, a non-volatile storage, processing logic, and sensor data access protocol (SDAP) manageability code. The SDAP manageability code may cause the processing logic to provide a sensor type and a measurement data payload type to a mobile communication device. The SDAP manageability code additionally may cause the sensor head to take a measurement, receive measurement data from the sensor head, packetize the measurement data, and transfer the measurement data payload to the mobile communication device.
摘要:
A method, device, and system for conducting trusted payment transactions including establishing a trust relationship between a first mobile computing device and a second mobile computing device. The first mobile computing device may initiate a payment transaction with a point-of-sale device, communicate with the second mobile communication device to retrieve payment information from the second mobile communication device, and complete the payment transaction with the point-of-sale device using the payment information. The second mobile computing device is configured to verify the user and identity of the first mobile computing device prior to providing the payment information. Communications between the mobile computing devices may be encrypted using pre-determined encryption techniques.
摘要:
An apparatus and system for enabling users to remotely manage their devices. Specifically, in one embodiment, in the event of a theft of a device or other such occurrence, a user may send a command to the device to execute a specified command. The command may include actions such as locking the device, shutting down the device, disabling logon's to the device and other such actions that may secure the device and the data on the device from unauthorized access. Upon receipt of an authorized unlock credential, the device may once again be made accessible.

A mobile phone is disclosed. The mobile phone may receive a first request to generate an initial scannable image, and a second request to generate modified scannable image. The modified scannable image can include a static portion that corresponds to a static portion of the initial scannable image. The modified scannable image may also include another portion that has a different appearance than a corresponding portion of the initial scannable image.

摘要:
A user requests to utilize anonymized user data to conduct a transaction. The anonymized user data keeps the user's sensitive data private, while still allowing certain entities to perform fraud analyses. The user configures a specific combination of user data elements to be anonymized prior to or at the time of the transaction. In some embodiments, the specific combination may be associated with a location or merchant type, which can also be selected by the user. The registration of a password associated with the anonymized user data may further increase security of the transaction.
