    Abstract: Example implementations provide machine readable storage storing machine executable instructions, arranged, when processed by a processor, for a succeeding generation player device accessing an unassigned share in a secret the instructions comprising C instructions to: (a.) receive an intermediate generation share of a set of intermediate shares, the intermediate generation share being arranged to facilitate access to the unassigned share and the intermediate generation share having been derived by an intermediate generation player device from shares of further shares provided by a set of preceding generation player devices; (b.) receive, from a set of other intermediate generation player devices, a set of other intermediate generation shares of the set of intermediate shares, to facilitate access by the succeeding generation player device to the unassigned share in conjunction with the intermediate generation share; and (c.) access the unassigned share using the intermediate generation share and the set of other intermediate generation shares.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, devices, and computer-readable media. In an example there is disclosed a method comprising detecting a state of a computing device, the computing device comprising at least one component. The method may further comprise comparing the detected state with a certified state of the device, the certified state indicating an expected state of the device as certified by a trusted authority. The method may further comprise, in response to the detected state and the certified state being different, identifying a component as a source of the difference and checking, by the trusted authority, whether the component is legitimate or not. The method may further still comprise, in response to the component being legitimate, certifying the difference and updating the certified state.

    Abstract: In an example there is provided a method of authenticating a user. An authentication challenge is received in response to a request to authenticate a user. The challenge is distributed to each device from a subset of a set of registered devices. At each device a share of an authentication token is accessed and a partial response to the challenge is generated based on an authentication token and challenge. A response to the challenge is generated by combining the partial responses from the subset of devices, and is communicated to an authenticator. The user is authenticated when the subset of devices is an authorised subset. Every authorised subset of the set of registered devices comprises at least one device from the first group of devices.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes requesting, from a node associated with a group comprising a plurality of computing devices associated with an access structure defining a set within the group of computing devices, an attestation of a capability of the set; receiving the attestation; and implementing, based on the received attestation, a procedure according to a device capability policy.

    Abstract: A method for registering the identity of a rendering apparatus, the method comprising generating a passphrase using a processor of the rendering apparatus, attesting to the validity of the passphrase at user equipment or submitting the passphrase to the user equipment, encrypting a rendering apparatus identity using a cryptographic session key agreed on the basis of the passphrase, and transferring the rendering apparatus identity from the user equipment to a user apparatus
