Abstract

Systems and techniques for a physical access control systems with localization-based intent detection are described herein. In an example, an access control system may regulate access to an asset. The access control system is adapted to establish a first connection with a key-device. The access control system may be further adapted to receive a credential for a user over the first connection. The access control system may be further adapted to establish a second connection with the key-device. The access control system may be further adapted to determine an intent of the user to access the asset. The access control system may use location data derived from the second connection to determine the intent of the user. The access control system may be further adapted to provide the credential to an access controller, based on identifying an intent of the user to access the asset.

Abstract

Systems and methods may he used for authenticating and validating a credential for performing an action. A method may include using an access control device to exchange public keys with a user device. The method may include sending, to the user device, a first authentication cryptogram including a first signature, a public key certificate, and a Credential Trust Information (CTI), and receiving, from the user device, a second authentication cryptogram including a second signature, a public key of the user device, and a credential. The access control device may authenticate the user device based on the credential and the second signature The access control device may determine whether the credential received in the second authentication cryptogram is signed by a trusted credential issuer to validate the user device. The method may include causing the action to be performed.

Abstract

An RFID tag (1) for tamper proof attachment to an object (100) such as a license plate, comprising a lower housing (10), an upper housing (20) and an antenna unit (30). The lower housing (10) is configured to be attached to the object (100). The upper housing (20) is placed on the lower housing (10) and comprises a peripheral portion (22). The peripheral portion (22) laterally surrounds the lower housing (10) and is configured to be attached to the object (100). The antenna unit (30) is positioned between the lower housing (10) and the upper housing (20). At least one first portion of the antenna unit (35) is attached to the lower housing (20) and at least one second portion of the antenna unit (36) is attached to the upper housing (10). When the distance (D) between the upper housing (20) and the lower housing (10) changes in case someone attempts to remove the RFID tag from the object, the at least one first portion of the antenna unit (35) remains attached to the lower housing (10) and the at least one second portion of the antenna unit (36) remains attached to the upper housing (20). Due to this specific arrangement the antenna unit (30) is being damaged in case of detachment of the RFID tag as disclosed herein.

Abstract

The use of multimodal face attributes in facial recognition systems is described. In addition, use of one or more auxiliary attributes, such as a temporal attribute, can be used in combination with visual information to improve the face identification performance of a facial recognition system. In some examples, the use of multimodal face attributes in facial recognition systems can be combined with the use of one or more auxiliary attributes, such as a temporal attribute. Each of these techniques can improve the verification performance of the facial recognition system.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for threshold cryptography for cloud-based software-implemented hardware security modules. In an embodiment, an encryption system collects at least a decryption-threshold number of private-key shares from a secure store, where the private-key shares correspond to a public key generated in a first secure enclave as part of a secret key set, which also includes a first plural quantity of the private-key shares. The encryption system obtains an ephemeral-hardware-security-module-(eHSM)-encryption key by decrypting the collected private-key shares. The encryption system initializes, in a second secure enclave, a second instance of a first eHSM. The initialized second instance of the first eHSM is encrypted with the obtained eHSM-encryption key.

Abstract

A method of generating a multiplexed image (18) for printing that can be observed in a plurality of modes includes determining a finite shape (22) of a multiplexed palette (10) in a combined color space. The contrast of the multiplexed image (18) in each mode can be optimized by determining a maximum volume hyperrectangle (20) enclosed in the finite shape (22). Gamut mapping to this maximum volume hyperrectangle (20) allows for generation of a multiplexed image (18) that has a maximum contrast and is free from artifacts caused by an interdependency between the colors in each mode. Performing a dimensionality reduction using PCA allows for reducing the complexity of the optimization problem.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method to check if a connector system with a Connector Position Assurance (“CPA”) member is in a closed position. The method includes providing an RFID-tag reader that is positioned at a distance D to the integrated circuit enabling far-field RFID communication and not permitting near-field RFID communication. Further, the method includes checking the readability of the integrated circuit with the RFID-tag reader and issuing an alert signal if the integrated circuit is not readable by the RFID-tag reader indicating that the CPA member is not in the closed position.

Abstract

An RFID assembly that includes both a UHF patch antenna and an HF or LF loop antenna is provided. The patch antenna and the loop antenna are arranged inside a housing in such a manner that the loop antenna partially overlaps an end portion of the patch antenna, thereby forming an extension of the patch antenna. In this manner, a performance of the UHF patch antenna can be maintained despite decreasing the size of the same, while an interference between the patch antenna and the loop antenna can be suppressed, in particular, by providing a gap between the same.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamic, power-efficiency -based cryptographic-protocol negotiation with Internet of Things (loT) devices. In an embodiment, a computer system (e.g., an identity-management system) receives, from an loT device, a device-side authentication-initiation message containing a unique device identifier of the loT device. The computer system uses the unique device identifier of the loT device to identity, from a stored power-efficiency reference table, a suitable cryptographic security protocol for the loT device. The computer system transmits, to the loT device, a server-side authentication-initiation message containing an indication of the identified protocol, and the computer system authenticates the loT device according to the identified protocol.

Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for updating firmware of a secure element. The techniques include operations comprising: receiving, by a gateway device, from a remote source, a firmware file; receiving, by a processing element implemented on the gateway device, ephemeral session specific key material for a first secure element implemented on the gateway device; dividing the firmware file into a plurality of data chunks; applying, by the processing element, the ephemeral session specific key material to a first data chunk of the plurality of data chunks to generate a first data packet; and sending, by the processing element, the first data packet to the first secure element.
