    摘要: Various embodiments include methods and computing devices implementing such methods for detecting and responding to a non-acknowledgment message (NACK) attack. In some embodiments, a device vehicle processing system may perform an operation to determine whether a NACK attacker is present in response to a quantity of NACK messages received within a time interval exceeding a threshold quantity that is based on a vehicle communication environment proximate to the vehicle. The vehicle processing system may perform an operation to mitigate adverse effects of NACK messages received from the NACK attacker in response to determining that the NACK attacker is present.

    摘要: A system for controlling access to equipment. The system establishes that a user of a mobile device has authorization to access an equipment and generates an encrypted digital key. The system sends the encrypted digital key to the mobile device. The system also sends an encrypted corresponding digital key to a controlling unit of the equipment. When a distance between the mobile device and the controlling unit is within a threshold, and the encrypted digital key transmitted by the mobile device is authenticated by the encrypted corresponding key on the controlling unit, the controlling unit unlocks the equipment so that the user of the mobile device takes control of the equipment in accordance with terms and conditions as set forth in a contract for operating the equipment between the user and an owner of the system.

    摘要: Securely setting up mesh networks in a secure manner that does not require a physical network cable being attached to a wireless device and that do not require transmitting unencrypted information wirelessly when a mesh network is setup. Methods and apparatus may use different communication interfaces and different types of channels to ensure that devices included in or being added to a wireless mesh network always communicate securely. Methods and apparatus may use a combination of conventional secure communication methods, such as secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS) communications, low power signals that travel over short distances, and other types of communications to create a system that only uses secure communications when setting up or expanding a wireless mesh network.
