Abstract: In one example, a method of protecting customer data in a networked system comprises collecting sensor data available at sensor nodes within a sensor network in communication with a service data platform over a network. The method includes encrypting the sensor data using a certified public key associated with a customer key-pair, the sensor data representing the customer data associated with sensitive identification information. The sensor data is cryptographically signed with a device private key. The method includes transporting the encrypted sensor data to the service data platform for storage, and decrypting at the service data platform, the encrypted sensor data using a private key sharing scheme that reconstructs the private key associated with the customer key-pair using a first share and a password encrypted second share, the first share assigned to the service data platform and the password encrypted second share assigned to a customer of the customer key-pair.

Abstract: A method and associated apparatus are disclosed for measuring illumination characteristics of a luminaire having unknown characteristics. The method includes steps of providing an array of calibrated photodetectors in known locations in proximity to a mounting location, and then illuminating the array with a luminaire having unknown illumination properties. The resulting data is used to calculate the luminous intensity vs. angle from the luminaire and the luminous flux of the luminaire. Methods of calibrating the measurement with a known luminaire are presented along with methods of determining the angular position of the detectors in the array. Color-sensitive detectors can be used to determine the angular distribution and average value of the luminaire's correlated color temperature.

Abstract: A method of determining the position of an array of sensors, an array of solid-state lamps, or other devices which sense or emit electromagnetic waves includes first determining a sensing or emitting distribution for one of the devices, then integrating that distribution over the area to be covered by the sensors or emitters. In response to the integrated distribution, the sensors or emitters may be repositioned, reconfigured, or reoriented to provide desired coverage. Wireless access points that communicate to wireless end points associated with the lights and/or sensors are designed and positioned to provide adequate signal strength. All elements, light distribution, sensor range, and wireless signal strength may be plotted in contour plots within the same user interface that enables users to place the devices in a specified area.
