    摘要: In one example, an enrollment device, such as a smart phone with an enrollment application executing thereon, obtains in situ enrollment information from at least one or more target device of a plurality of target devices in a network. The enrollment device provides the in situ enrollment information that is obtained from the at least one target device, to a security management device, such as a public key certificate generator (e.g., a certification authority) for the network, to facilitate target device configuration certificate generation for the at least one target device. The security management device uses the in situ enrollment information and other device specific information as well as operational information that is desired for a device, and issues a configuration certificate for the at least one target device. A system and methods are also set forth.

    摘要: A method and apparatus provides for user authentication. In an example, the method and apparatus includes receiving a selected signal strength for smart card emulation authentication. The method and apparatus also includes receiving a signal from a portable wireless device radio transceiver. The method also includes measuring the signal strength of the signal. The method and apparatus also includes, if the signal is at or above the selected signal strength, transmitting one or more signals to the portable radio device radio transceiver requesting user authentication, and if the signal is not at or above a selected signal strength, refusing a request to authenticate by the portable radio device radio transceiver. The method and apparatus also includes receiving one or more authentication response signals from the portable radio device in response to the request for user authentication, the one or more response signals including at least authentication information unique to a user.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and/or system generates a challenge for user authentication, having a challenge data element from a stored pool of challenge data elements. The challenge is based on rule data and stored usage data associated with at least some of the challenge data elements in the stored pool of challenge data elements. The generated challenge is sent for use in an authentication of a user to a sender. A method, apparatus and/or system also generates sender authentication and corresponding location information, having a data element from a stored pool of challenge data elements. Selection of the data elements is based on rule data and stored usage data associated with at least some of the data elements in the stored pool of data elements.

    摘要: One or more computing devices employs a method that includes requesting a transient credential (e.g., a one-time PKI certificate) as a first identity credential for an application component instance based on a unique identifier associated with the application component instance. The method includes requesting a dynamically-created second identity credential for the application component instance of the application using a request signed (e.g., using the public key of the first identity PKI certificate) based on the transient credential. The method includes receiving the dynamically-created second identity credential and using the dynamically-created second identity credential in a cryptographic function by the application component instance; and managing the replacement of this credential in environments without persistent archival storage accessible by the device/application.

    摘要: Methods and systems for cross-certification to bind together two cryptographic systems are disclosed. One method includes receiving, from a first certificate authority at a second certificate authority, a cross certificate request, the cross certificate request including an attribute unique to the first certificate authority. The method also includes calculating a signature at the second certificate authority based at least in part on the attribute, and calculating a hash value based on a combination of the signature calculated at the second certificate authority and a key associated with the second certificate authority. The method includes generating a cross certificate and embedding the hash value as a certificate extension within the cross certificate.

    摘要: A proxy hardware security module (HSM) is disclosed, useable with an existing HSM for expansion of key storage for the HSM. The proxy HSM receives a signing request that is targeted to the HSM, and retrieves a wrapped version of a signing key from a storage location separate from the HSM. The proxy HSM provides the wrapped signing key to the HSM, and provides the signing request to the HSM. Upon receipt of a response to the signing request indicating successful execution of a signing operation by the HSM, the proxy HSM transmits a key destroying request to the HSM, and a confirmation message to the device from which the signing request was received. Upon completion of the signing request, the HSM does not retain the signing key.
