Method and system of secured direct link set-up (DLS) for wireless networks. In accordance with aspects of the method, techniques are disclosed for setting up computationally secure direct links between stations in a wireless network in a manner that is computationally secure. A direct link comprising a new communication session is set up between first and second stations in a wireless local area network (WLAN) hosted by an access point (AP), the direct link comprising a new communication session. The AP generates a unique session key for the new communication session and transfers secured copies of the session key to each of the first and second stations in a manner under which only the first and second stations can obtain the session key. A security mechanism is then implemented on the unsecured direct link to secure the direct link between the first and second stations using a secure session key derived from the session key.

An embodiment provides a level of assurance regarding correct operation of software. An embodiment creates baseline and real-time measurements of software and compares the measurements to determine whether the software is operating correctly. An application provider may include “tracing elements” in target software application. While producing the application the trace elements are detected and provide trace events, which collectively provide a “baseline trace” indicating proper application execution. The provider supplies the application and the baseline trace to a user. The user operates the application in real-time to produce a “real-time trace” based on the application still having trace elements that produce trace events (which collectively form the “real-time” trace). A comparator compares the baseline and real-time traces. If the traces are within a pre-determined range of each other the user has a level of assurance the software is operating correctly. Other embodiments are included herein.
摘要:
Systems and methods of conducting collaborative sessions between mobile devices may provide for determining a time delay associated with a set of participating mobile devices, and determining a command execution time based at least in part on a clock of a managing device and the time delay. One or more control messages may be transmitted to the participating mobile devices, wherein the control messages include the command and the command execution time. Upon receiving a control message, each participating mobile device may determine a local execution time based at least in part on the command execution time and an offset of the clock of the managing device relative to a local clock. Execution of the command can therefore be coordinated across the set of participating mobile devices.

In an embodiment of the invention an application provider may include “tracing elements” in a target software application. While working with the application the trace elements are detected and provide a “baseline trace” indicating proper application execution. The provider then supplies the application, which still includes the trace elements, and the baseline trace to a user. The user operates the application to produce a “real-time trace” based on the application still having trace elements that produce trace events. A comparator then compares the baseline and real-time traces. If the traces are within a pre-determined range of each other the user has a level of assurance the software is operating correctly. If the level of assurance is low, an embodiment may trigger a hardware interrupt or similar event to prevent further execution of software. Other embodiments are described herein.
摘要:
Embodiments provide techniques for device power management in wireless networks. For instance, an apparatus may include a power management module, and a transceiver module. The power management module determines a beacon interval and a wakeup interval. The transceiver module to send a transmission to one or more remote devices that includes the beacon interval and the wakeup interval. The beacon interval indicates a time interval between consecutive beacon transmissions of the apparatus, and the wakeup interval indicates a time interval between when the apparatus receives two consecutive beacons from a peer device.

Methods for anonymous authentication and key exchange are presented. In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a two-way mutual authentication between a first entity and a second entity. The first entity remains anonymous to the second entity after performing the authentication. The method also includes establishing a mutually shared session key for use in secure communication between the entities, wherein the initiating and the establishing are in conjunction with direct anonymous attestation (DAA).

End-to-end security between clients and a server, and traffic visibility to intermediate network devices, achieved through combined mode, single pass encryption and authentication using two keys is disclosed. In various embodiments, a combined encryption-authentication unit includes a cipher unit and an authentication unit coupled in parallel to the cipher unit, and generates an authentication tag using an authentication key in parallel with the generation of the cipher text using an encryption key, where the authentication and encryption key have different key values. In various embodiments, the cipher unit operates in AES counter mode, and the authentication unit operates in parallel, in AES-GMAC mode Using a two key, single pass combined mode algorithm preserves network performance using a limited number of HW gates, while allowing an intermediate device access to the encryption key for deciphering the data, without providing that device the ability to compromise data integrity, which is preserved between the end to end devices.
