Filed:

Oct 26, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/661920

Inventors:

Daniel Harkins - La Selva Beach CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

713171

Abstract:

Authentication of parties through a trusted intermediary is described. The standard Ottway-Rees authentication protocol is modified to provide authentication between A and B using intermediary T such that T serves only as an authenticator, and does not participate in the generation of the key shared between A and B.

US Classification:

324606

Abstract:

A method to verify that a test and measurement system continues to operate within a predetermined acceptable range with respect to a given calibrated state previously defined for that system without the need for conventional external reference components. In accordance with one embodiment, performance verification of a network analyzer used to perform electrical measurements is achieved by storing RF "thru" measurement data (an RF thru measurement trace of the system) at the time of calibration at the factory or later repair and/or recalibration at a field service site. In accordance with another embodiment, performance verification of a lightwave component analyzer, used to perform electrical, electro-optical, opto-electrical, and optical measurements, is achieved by storing RF and optical thru measurement data (both an RF thru measurement trace of the system and an optical thru measurement trace of the system) at the time of calibration at the factory or later repair and/or recalibration. In both cases, at the time of manufacture, the key measurement paths (with calibrated reference components in the loop) of the test and measurement system are measured and stored in system memory or, alternatively, on a disc that is shipped with the system. Repeating these measurements with the same thru connection(s) at a later time(s) indicates how well the test and measurement system is reproducing the conditions of its initial calibration.

Abstract:

Described herein are systems, devices, techniques and products for managing the dynamic assignment of media access control (MAC) addresses to wireless network devices, such as by identifying a dynamically assigned MAC address before, after, or during a wireless association process and communicating the dynamically assigned MAC address to a wireless network device. Also disclosed are systems, devices, techniques and products for preventing a denial of service attack on a wireless access point's association table, such as by requiring devices that associate with a wireless access point to respond to a query from the wireless access point shortly after association.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for cloud controlled secure Bluetooth pairing for network device management. A method for a mobile device includes sending a Bluetooth pairing request to a network device that cannot connect to a network, wherein the network device responds to the Bluetooth pairing request by sending a challenge token; responsive to receiving the challenge token from the network device, sending the challenge token to a server, wherein the server responds to the challenge token by sending a response token, wherein the response token comprises a secure Bluetooth pairing key; and responsive to receiving the response token from the server, establishing a secure Bluetooth connection with the network device, comprising pairing with the network device using the secure pairing key.
