Secure device association is generally described. In one example, a secure device association system comprises a first device comprising a mechanical actuator and a second device comprising a microphone, the mechanical actuator of the first device and the microphone of the second device to form an out-of-band (OOB) channel for secure association between the first device and the second device.

A method may include detecting motion of a mobile device and inferring from the motion a first activity of a user of the mobile device. The method may also include evaluating a signal quality of a radio signal received by a signal module and altering an operational mode of the signal module based on the signal quality and the first activity.

This disclosure is directed to a dynamic data compression system. A device may request data comprising certain content from a remote resource. The remote resource may determine if any part of the content is identical or similar to content in other data and if the other data is already on the requesting device. Smart compression may then involve transmitting only the portions of the content not residing on the requesting device, which may combine the received portions of the content with the other data. In another example, a capturing device may capture at least one of an image or video. Smart compression may then involve transmitting only certain features of the image/video to the remote resource. The remote resource may determine image/video content based on the received features, and may perform an action based on the content. In addition, a determination whether to perform smart compression may be based on system/device conditions.

Systems and methods may provide for identifying a virtual geo-fence for a plurality of devices. Additionally, a condition may be detected with respect to two or more devices in the plurality of devices, wherein a status determination may be conducted as to whether at least one of the two or more devices has left the virtual geo-fence based on the condition.

Systems and methods for proximity detection between electronic devices are disclosed. One or more electronic devices transmit signals to a proximity server, which determines whether the first electronic device may be proximate the second electronic device. The proximity server transmits a signal to the first electronic device and the second device, and in response to the signal, the first and second electronic devices activate an environmental sensor, collect at least one sample of environmental data, extract at least one feature set of the environmental data, generate a first obscured feature from the feature set, transmit the first and second obscured feature sets to the proximity server. The proximity server uses the first obscured feature set and the second obscured feature set to determine whether the first electronic device and the second electronic device are proximate.
摘要:
A physical layer (PHY) is coupled to a serial, differential link that is to include a number of lanes. The PHY includes a transmitter and a receiver to be coupled to each lane of the number of lanes. The transmitter coupled to each lane is configured to embed a clock with data to be transmitted over the lane, and the PHY periodically issues a blocking link state (BLS) request to cause an agent to enter a BLS to hold off link layer flit transmission for a duration. The PHY utilizes the serial, differential link during the duration for a PHY associated task selected from a group including an in-band reset, an entry into low power state, and an entry into partial width state

摘要:
Techniques for two-way authentication between two communication endpoints (e.g., two devices) using a one-way out-of-band (OOB) channel are presented. Here, in embodiments, both communication endpoints may be securely authenticated as long as the one-way OOB channel is tamper-proof. Embodiments of the invention do not require the one-way OOB channel to be private to ensure that both endpoints are securely authenticated. Since providing a two-way or private OOB channel adds to the cost of a platform, embodiments of the invention provide for a simple and secure method for two-way authentication that uses only a non-private one-way OOB channel and thus helping to reduce platform cost. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
