摘要:
This invention includes a system and method to enable a device to determine the presence information of another device over a secure communication network. First, the device and a presence server establish a secure connection. Next, while the initial secure connection with the presence server is established, the device generates a randomly created token and provides it to the presence server. The token is used as a shared-secret by the device and the presence server to secure future presence communications over a non-secure connection. Next, without the need to again enter a password or establish a secure connection with the presence server, the device uses the shared-secret to sign, encrypt and convey presence information to the presence server over an arbitrary connection. Finally, the presence server may share the first device's presence information with another device.

The invention includes a system comprising a device, software installed on the device and coupled to the device's hardware and software stack to execute data encryption and remote attestation. The invention includes a process to configure the device for encryption and remote attestation and performing an initial inventory and content scan of the device's hardware and software stack with results transmitted across a communication network to the attestation server. The invention includes periodic inventory and content scans of the device's hardware and software stack with results transmitted again to the server via the network. The attestation server stores the results in a database for comparison to subsequent results sent by devices. The attestation server notes any differences in the most recent results and sends an alert to the device if the device is configured differently based on the previous scan, or configured the same if no differences were noted.

This invention includes a solution to enable a digital authentication solution comprising a network. Next, a first device is coupled to the network. The first device may include an authentication key generator that is able to generate both public and private keys in electronic formats. Next, the first device is coupled to a certificate authority gateway. The certificate authority gateway includes devices capable of converting the electronically formatted public key to a non-electronic format, and vice versa. Next, the certificate authority gateway is coupled to a certificate authority server. The certificate authority server includes devices capable of converting the electronically formatted public key to a non-electronic format, and vice versa. The certificate authority server is also contained in a secure area such as a locked room, or a safe. The secure area includes features that allow the non-electronically formatted public key to be passed across the boundary of the secure area. Finally, a second device is coupled to the network.

A commercial off-the-shelf smartphone is adapted, through software modifications only, to provide multiple operating domains or domains that provide differing levels of security and reliability. Each operating domain is isolated from the others. Detection of unauthorized modification is provided. Cross domain activity notification is provided.

A state vector acquisition technique for a counter-based cryptographic data communication system is disclosed. The acquisition technique facilitates receipt of the state vector components (the short component and the long components) in any chronological order. The state vector components are saved upon receipt, and a counter for each long component is initialized upon receipt of the long component. After receipt of all components, the receiver device constructs a current state vector value based upon the received component values and the long component counter values.

The invention includes systems and methods to asymmetrically encrypt audit logs, store a limited period of the encrypted audit logs, periodically send the encrypted audit logs to a central location for storage and further process in order to provide tamper-proof evidence of an activity. The system comprises a secure audit client enabled to perform various activities. A secure audit manager logs such activities in an audit log for uploading to a secure audit server. The secure audit server receives the audit logs from the secure audit manager. Finally a secure audit log consumer requests audit log data from the secure audit log manager to review the secure audit log.

A method for a mobile communication device to indicate activity associated with an operating domain includes establishing a plurality of operating domains for the mobile communication device each operating as an independent virtual machine. The method also includes providing a trusted indicator at the mobile communication device for indicating activity associated with a high-side domain. The method also includes providing an input on the mobile communication device for switching from a low-side domain to the high-side domain. The method also includes providing a trusted element for the mobile communication device that is independent of either the high-side domain or the low-side domain. The trusted element may be configured to receive a signal from the input for switching from the low-side domain to the high-side domain and to perform user authentication for switching from the low-side domain to the high-side domain.
