    Abstract: Techniques are provided for establishing a secure home ecosystem such that the one or more installers only have access to set-up accessories. A mobile device may identify a home device using a first wireless protocol. The mobile device may enable a secure channel between the home device and the mobile device via a second wireless protocol. The mobile device may authenticate access for the mobile device using an identification code. The mobile device may validate a home device certificate via a secure server. The mobile device may send a mobile device certificate to the home device via the secure channel. The mobile device may receive a signed mobile device certificate from the home device via the secure channel and receive accessory information corresponding to one or more accessory devices from the home device. The mobile device can be configured to connect to the one or more accessory devices.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for initiating transient sessions on a communal device. An example method includes a receiving, from a media streaming device, a request for a session of a streaming service, the request associated with a user account. The method can further include determining that the user account is associated with the streaming service. The method can further include transmitting a session token to the media streaming device based at least in part on determining that the user account is associated with the streaming service, the session token comprising an expiration parameter for ending the session.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for initiating transient sessions on a communal device. An example method includes a device detecting a user device within a threshold distance of the device. The device can transmit control instructions to the user device for a response from the user device based on the detection, the response comprising an indication as to whether to initiate a transient session of a streaming service. The device can transmit, to an application server, a request for a transient session token based on the response from the user device. The device can receive, from the application server, the transient session token, the transient session token including an expiration parameter. The device can initiate the transient session based on the transient session token, the transient session comprising presenting content provided by the application server on a presentation device. The device can terminate the transient session based on the expiration parameter.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for initiating transient sessions on a communal device. An example method includes a system receiving, from a media streaming device, a request for a transient session token for initiating a transient session of a streaming service. The system can transmit, to the media streaming device, an authentication request for authenticating a user account that is associated with the streaming service. The authentication request can be transmitted based at least in part on the receipt of the request for the transient session token. The system can receive, from the media streaming device, an authentication response based at least in part on transmitting the authentication request. The system can authenticate that the user account is associated with the streaming service based at least in part on receiving the authentication response. The system can transmit the transient session token to the media streaming device. The transient session token comprises an expiration parameter for ending the transient session of the streaming service.

    Abstract: One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to receive an indication of a location of an electronic device, receive credentials from a password management system of the electronic device for a preferred network and the location based on the location corresponding to the preferred network. The instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, may also cause the processors to create the preferred network and the credentials, and store the preferred network, the location, and the credentials in the password management system based on the location not corresponding to the preferred network, and communicate using the preferred network based on the credentials.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a method for delegating the authority to create a token from an owner of a property to a sharing platform managing the reservation of the property. A method can include receiving a request to delegate authority for generating a token for a one or more accessory devices, the delegation to be to a sharing platform. Based on the request, a request for a determination of eligibility of the device for delegation of the authority. A determination of eligibility of the device for delegation of the authority can be received. An intermediate certificate from the sharing platform can be requests based on the determination of eligibility of the device. A delegation file that identifies an approved delegation of authority can be created based on using the intermediate certificate to validate the sharing platform.
