摘要:
A communications device (300) enabled to support both external voice communications functionality (301) (or other external communications of interest and choice) and other functionality (302) has at least a first and second mode of operation (304 and 305). The first mode of operation permits essentially all functionality while the second mode of operation precludes at least much of the other functionality in favor of preserving the viability of at least some of the external communications functionality. A selector (306) can select a given mode of operation based, at least in part, on a trigger 307 comprising, for example, a user input and/or detection of a condition of concern.

Authentication is performed to a confidence level (CL) desired by a verifier (220). A prover (210) picks and sends certain same size, square matrices to the verifier (220). A random request bit is sent (234) from the verifier (220) to the prover (210) after the receipt of a certain square matrix. Depending on the request bit, calculations are made (244, 264) by the verifier (220) to determine if the matrices sent from the prover are verifiable. The prover (210) is iteratively authenticated by the verifier (220). Iterations are continued until (320) a count of the iterations (IL) reaches a number sufficient to achieve the desired confidence level (CL). After a delay, more iterations can achieve a higher confidence level by building on previous result of authentication without having to begin at zero. During this delay, the verifier (220) can perform tasks in reliance on the result of authentication. Digital logic can perform the authentication.

A portable electronic device (110) contains an application revocation list (ARL) in memory (135) comprising at least one application identifier (AI) uniquely identifying an application. The portable electronic device also contains an application list memory (133) for storing at least application identifiers for trusted applications in the device. A processor (120) operatively connected to the memory determines whether an application identifier on the application revocation list matches an application identifier on the portable electronic device, and, if so, processes a revocation of the application. The application revocation list can be wirelessly updated. Application software in a portable electronic device can thus subsequently be revoked through operation of this application revocation list. A remote server (140) makes application revocation lists available to portable electronic devices over a network such as a cellular system.

A method of user-transparent auto re-synchronization for a remote keyless entry system includes assigning a default challenge-count window (101). A first data packet including a first transmitter-side symbolic count (103) and a first command code is transmitted by a transmitter (200) and authenticated by a receiver (250). An auto-synchronization challenge-count window is assigned when the first transmitter-side symbolic count (103) is not bounded within the challenge-count window (109). A second data packet including a second transmitter-side symbolic count (103) and a second command code is transmitted by the transmitter (200) and authenticated by the receiver (250). The challenge-count window is returned to the default challenge-count window, when the second transmitter-side symbolic count is bounded within the auto-synchronization challenge-count window and the receiver-side symbolic count (123). Then the second command code is executed (127).
摘要:
A method and system for registering a user device in a domain of a domain authority (106) using biometric information is provided. The method includes sending (402) a request (by the user device) to the domain authority for joining the domain. The user device making the request is then authenticated (400) and the biometric information of the user is then requested (406). Further, the method includes authenticating (412) the biometric information of the user. The security information of the domain is transferred (414) to the user device once the authentication of the user device and the biometric information are both successful.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method, system and apparatus for transferring protected data (404) having an authorizing entity's outer encryption layer (408) and having a user-fixed inner encryption layer (406) from a first electronic device having a first unique, unalterable identifier to a second electronic device having a second unique, unalterable identifier. A central unit includes a receiver configured to receive (402) from the first electronic device protected data (404) having an authorizing entity's first outer encryption layer (408) corresponding to the first unique, unalterable identifier and having a user-fixed inner encryption layer (406); a processor configured to decrypt (410) the authorizing entity's first outer encryption layer (408) of the protected data (404); a processor configured to encrypt (412) an authorizing entity's second outer encryption layer (414) of the protected data (404) corresponding to the second unique, unalterable identifier; and a transmitter configured to transmit (416) protected data to the second electronic device.

摘要:
A technology provides secure data backup and recovery for an electronic device (100) having a device identification (115) that is unique and unalterable. A method of the technology includes identifying (205) backup data (405, 805, 1205) to be backed up, encoding (210) a backup data set by coding the device identification (115) and the backup data (405, 805, 1205) for integrity and authentication using a cryptographic key (110) and an integrity function, generating (220) decoded backup data (635, 1015, 1435) and decoded device identification (640, 1020, 1440) by decoding a retrieved backup data set (605, 1005, 1405) using the the cryptographic key (115) and the integrity function, and restoring (225) the backup data with the decoded backup data only when the integrity has been verified and the decoded device identification and the device identification match. Three methods of encoding and decoding are described.
