    摘要: An electronic device that at least semi-automatically performs car-key pairing is described. During operation, the electronic device may perform wireless pairing with a second electronic device (e.g., a vehicle), where the wireless pairing establishes a connection between the electronic device and the second electronic device. Moreover, during the wireless pairing, the electronic device may receive information associated with the car-key pairing of the electronic device and the second electronic device. Then, after the wireless pairing is completed, the electronic device may determine that the car-key pairing is supported or available based at least in part on the information. Next, the electronic device may selectively and at least semi-automatically perform the car-key pairing based at least in part on the information, where the car-key pairing enables the electronic device to function as a digital key for the second electronic device using wireless communication via the wireless pairing or another communication protocol.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed relating to electronic security, e.g., for authenticating a mobile electronic device to allow access to system functionality (e.g., physical access to the system, starting an engine/motor, etc.). In some embodiments, a system and mobile device exchange public keys of public key pairs during a pairing process. In some embodiments, an asymmetric transaction process includes generating a shared secret using a key derivation function over a key established using a secure key exchange (e.g., elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman), and verifying a signature of the system before transmitting any information identifying the mobile device. In various embodiments, disclosed techniques may increase transaction security and privacy of identifying information.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing credentials are provided. In one example embodiment, a method may include terminating the functionality of a security domain element on an electronic device, communicatively coupling the electronic device to a trusted service manager of the security domain element, and, after the terminating, communicating data from the electronic device to the communicatively coupled trusted service manager, wherein the communicated data is usable by the trusted service manager to determine a stored value of the security domain element. Additional embodiments are also provided.

    摘要: During operation, an electronic device may provide, to a second electronic device, an invitation to share a digital car key associated with a user of the electronic device and a vehicle, where the invitation includes information for creating another instance of the digital car key on the second electronic device. Then, the electronic device may receive, from the second electronic device, a message accepting the invitation, where the message includes a certificate associated with the other instance of the digital car key on the second electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device may provide, to the second electronic device, an approved version of the certificate with a digital signature of the user. Next, the electronic device may provide, to the computer, an instruction to share the digital car key with a set of electronic devices, which is associated with a second user of the second electronic device.

    摘要: During operation, a host computer may receive, associated with an electronic device, contact information of a user of the electronic device and input data for a hash function. Then, the host computer may verify the electronic device based at least in part on an identifier of the electronic device and stored device information. Alternatively, the host computer may jointly perform a verification process with a verification computer to verify the electronic device. Next, the host computer may generate a hashed version of the contact information based at least in part on the input data and the hash function. Moreover, the host computer may provide, addressed to a partner computer, the hashed contact information and a request for the provisioning data. Furthermore, the host computer may selectively receive, associated with the partner computer, the provisioning data, and the host computer may selectively provide, addressed to the electronic device, the provisioning data.

    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting and preventing a relay attack in a channel on which a near field communication (NFC) action between a key holder device and a reader is attempted are disclosed. A time limit is established for polling communications between the key holder device and the reader. Each of the reader and the key holder device generates a reader random value and a device random value respectively. The reader sends to the key holder device the reader random value, which includes the time limit for a response from the key holder device, the response including the device random value and the reader random value. The reader receives the response from the key holder device and can then determine whether the response from the key holder device is received within the time limit, to detect whether a relay attack can be made on the channel for the NFC action.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed relating to sharing an access credential. In various embodiments, sharee device receives an access credential shared by a sharer device to obtain access to a system. The sharee device determines a policy based on a server-based device (SBxD) certificate included in the access credential and performs an action in accordance with the determined policy. In some embodiments, the policy specifies a restricted set of access rights for the system. The sharee device presents, in accordance with the policy, the access credential to the system. In some embodiments, the action includes the sharee device providing information to a remote server. In some embodiments, the sharee device identifies an access credential class defined by class information included in the access credential and performs an action in accordance with the determined policy and the identified access credential class.
