Abstract:
A device, system and method for sharing sensor data is provided. A request to access sensor data is received at a receiver device, from a requestor device, the sensor data acquired by sensors associated with the receiver device. The receiver device determines a status of the receiver device. The receiver device determines, from the status of the receiver device, a subset of the sensor data to share with the requestor device. The receiver device determines one or more override contextual conditions associated with one or more of the requestor device and the receiver device. When the one or more override contextual conditions meets one or more override threshold conditions, the receiver device causes the subset of the sensor data to be shared with the requestor device.
Abstract:
An evidentiary electronic processor receives identifying data associated with respective ones of a plurality of communication devices associated with an incident. The evidentiary electronic processor determines an assignment status of each communication device using the respective identifying data. The assignment status indicates that a communication device is one of assigned to the incident, unassigned to the incident and associated with a first profile that is relevant to the incident, or unassigned to the incident and associated with a second profile that is irrelevant to the incident. The evidentiary electronic processor receives sensor data associated with the incident from a sending communication device out of the plurality of communication devices. The evidentiary electronic processor processes the sensor data based on a respective assignment status associated with the sending communication device.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for maintaining routing tables in an ad-hoc wireless network. In an embodiment, a first node receives, from a second node having a second network address, a first data packet having a third network address as the source address and a fourth network address as the destination address. The first node determines that its server routing table (i) contains a stored server route to the fourth network address and (ii) does not contain a server route to the third network address, and responsively adds, to its server-to-client routing table, a server-to-client route to the third network address with the second network address as the associated next hop. The first node transmits, to the second node at the second network address, a second data packet that has the third network address as the destination address.
Abstract:
An apparatus for, and method of, single sign-on collaboration among a plurality of mobile devices, includes a server for issuing a first identity token to subsequently authenticate a user of a first of the mobile devices to a service provider, and for generating and sending a collaboration key to the first device based on the first identity token or user authentication. The first device generates and sends a collaboration credential based on the collaboration key to a second device paired with the first device. The server also issues a second identity token to subsequently authenticate to the service provider the user of the second device based on the collaboration credential received from the first device, to support single sign-on collaboration for the user across the plurality of mobile devices.
Abstract:
A device attestation server and method for attesting to the integrity of a mobile device is provided. An attestation request is sent from a mobile device to a device attestation server. The device attestation server runs an attestation method that is supported by the mobile device. The device attestation server creates an attestation token that includes a validation result and a plurality of attributes. The device attestation server sends the attestation token to the mobile device, which performs a validation method using the attestation token.
Abstract:
Method and management server for revoking group server identifiers of compromised group servers. One method includes determining, with a management server, an identity-based cryptographic signing key based on a group server identifier. The method also includes distributing, via the management server, the identity-based cryptographic signing key to a group server. The method further includes receiving, at the management server, a security status indicating that the security of the group server is compromised. The method also includes, responsive to receiving the security status, distributing, via the management server, a revocation of the group server identifier to a plurality of communication devices.
Abstract:
A method of transitioning a wireless networking device from a non-access point mode to an access point mode includes receiving a find network request from another wireless networking device and sending a find network response including beacon data and an identifier. The method includes receiving a join network request from the other wireless networking device and associating with the other networking device by transitioning from a default mode to an access point mode. The other wireless networking device then operates as a client device. Each wireless networking device in the default mode listens for other wireless networking devices seeking an access point for the wireless network. In the access point mode the wireless networking device periodically broadcasts beacons. Each wireless networking device transitions to a client-only mode, when limiting conditions are present.
Abstract:
A method of enabling a lock screen of an electronic device operating an electronic device that includes an electronic processor and a display screen. The method includes receiving, by the electronic processor, a request to unlock the electronic device. The method further includes determining, by the electronic processor, an authentication state for the electronic device. The method further includes, determining, by the electronic processor, a lock screen authentication mode based on the authentication state, and displaying, on the display screen, a lock screen including the lock screen authentication mode. The electronic device includes a display screen and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive a request to unlock the electronic device. The electronic processor is further configured to determine an authentication state for the electronic device, determine a lock screen authentication mode based on the authentication state and display on the display screen, a lock screen including the lock screen authentication mode.

Abstract:
A method for recovering a digital file from a locked device is provided. An identity token is received at a recovery app on the locked device. The recovery app retrieves a digital file from the locked device and sends the digital file and the identity token to a service external to the device.
