Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for using a web/Bluetooth API for mobile access control. In an embodiment, a computing system receives an endpoint identifier associated with a visitor. The system generates a URL associated with the endpoint identifier, and transmits the URL to an endpoint associated with the endpoint identifier. The system receives, from a mobile device associated with the visitor, a request for a web/Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) webpage corresponding to the URL. The system generates the requested webpage, and transmits the webpage to the mobile device. The webpage contains a valid credential for access to a secured resource, and also contains executable code for calling at least one function of a web/BLE API. The system transmits the webpage to the mobile device, and thereafter receives the credential from the mobile device via a BLE communication, verifies the credential, and accordingly grants access to the secured resource.

Abstract

An RFID assembly (10) includes an RFID chip (14) having a coupling loop (15) formed as part of the RFID chip (14). In this manner, the RFID chip (14) can be inductively coupled to a far-field antenna (16) for RFID communications, without any physical connections between the RFID chip (14) and the coupling loop (15) and/or the far-field antenna (16). This results in a high temperature resistance of the RFID assembly (10), which can be advantageously used, in particular, during tracking of parts in assembly processes requiring higher temperatures.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for homomorphic-encryption-supported provisioning of secure devices. In an embodiment, a provisioning server (e.g., a cloud-based provisioning server) receives a request, associated with (e.g., from) a secure device (e.g., a keycard), for a homomorphically encrypted diversified key that is based on (e.g., derived from) a master key of an encryption system. The secure device stores a copy of a homomorphic-encryption key. The provisioning server derives a homomorphically encrypted diversified key from a homomorphically encrypted master key, which is the master key previously encrypted with the homomorphic-encryption key. The provisioning server transmits the homomorphically encrypted diversified key to the secure device. The secure device may then be operable to access at least one resource using a diversified master key, which is the homomorphically encrypted diversified key after having been decrypted on the secure device using its stored copy of the homomorphic-encryption key.

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.

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.

The method is performed in a lock device and comprises the steps of: receiving an access request from an electronic key; obtaining a plurality of delegations, wherein each delegation is a delegation from a delegator to a delegatee, the plurality of delegations collectively forming a chain of delegations; determining that a delegation is a co-sign delegation, indicating that all further delegations need to be cryptographically signed by both the delegator of the respective delegation and by an access controller; and granting access to the physical space when the chain of delegations start in an owner of the lock device and ends in the electronic key; and when all delegations in the chain of delegations after the co-sign delegation are cryptographically signed by both the delegator of the respective delegation and by the access controller.

Abstract

It is provided a wearable device for determining when a user has fallen down. The wearable device comprises: a first biometric sensor for obtaining first biometric data of the user, wherein the first biometric sensor is a first accelerometer configured to measure acceleration of a part of a first limb of the user; a second biometric sensor for obtaining second biometric data of the user comprising a finger pressure parameter; and a third biometric sensor for obtaining third biometric data, the third biometric sensor being a second accelerometer configured to measure acceleration of a body part of the user being distinct from the first limb. The wearable device is configured to determine an identity of the user is based on the first biometric data, the second biometric data and the third biometric data, the identity being used to control access to a physical space, and to determine when the user has fallen down.
