    Abstract: In one illustrative example, a network cybersecurity procedure may be employed with use of at least one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), where the UAV includes an intermediary pairing device for providing a temporary connection between a first network (e.g. a private LAN) and a second network (e.g. the Internet). The network cybersecurity procedure may involve deploying the UAV in proximity to the first network, such that the intermediary pairing device pairs with a first pairing device via a first transceiver and with a second pairing device via a second transceiver. A temporary connection is established between the first network connected via the first pairing device and the second network connected via the second pairing device. Data is communicated between a first device (e.g. IoT device) or server of the first network and a second device or server of the second network over the temporary connection. During this time, the intermediary pairing device executes a cybersecurity service function. Once completed, the UAV may be withdrawn out of proximity of the first network. One or more features of the cybersecurity service function may be updated and the UAV redeployed. Multimodal data fusion techniques with use of a plurality of network and device sensors may be employed for device verification and/or anomaly detection.

    Abstract: Techniques in an information-centric network (ICN) for facilitating the transport of passengers or items are described. In one illustrative example, a first mobile device is configured to operate as a mobile transportation-offering ICN endpoint device. The first mobile device may connect to one of a plurality of fixed-location ICN nodes in the ICN network. The first mobile device may communicate in the ICN network one or more interest packet messages indicating an interest in a passenger or item to transport. The interest in a passenger or item to transport may be indicated in, for example, a Named Data Object (NDO). The one or more interest packet messages may include current transportation route information indicating a current anticipated route of transportation for a current passenger or item. In response, the first mobile device may receive, from a second mobile device configured to operate as a mobile transportation-accepting ICN node, one or more response messages indicating an acceptance of the transport.

    Abstract: Various embodiments utilize a portable electronic device determining the relative physical location of a connected device and displaying a location indicator on a display of the portable electronic device. This location indicator can “point” to the connected device and provide an indication as to how far away the connected device is. The portable electronic device can facilitate user interaction with the connected device.
