Nov 25, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/323316

Inventors:

Mark E. Scott-Nash - Boulder CO, US

International Classification:

H04K 1/00

US Classification:

380255

Abstract:

A method and system to allow encryption/decryption to be performed substantially in parallel using one or more media associated keys. The system has an input buffer to store a plurality of media data from a plurality of media channels. A plurality of cryptographic engines is coupled with the input buffer to obtain a plurality of cipher keys and each cipher key is associated with one or more of a plurality of media channels The system encrypts or decrypts, substantially in parallel, each of the plurality of media data with a cryptographic algorithm using one or more of the obtained cipher keys.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/06
H04L 29/06
G06Q 20/12

Abstract:

In some embodiments, the disclosed subject matter involves a digital brokerage service to match data, services and compute capacity of subscribers and publishers in a trusted execution environment (TEE). In an embodiment, data is generated by an Internet of Things IoT device. Publishers register available resources with the digital brokerage service, including TEE capabilities. Subscribers request data or services with a quality of service or service level agreement requirements and define required TEE capabilities. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

- Santa Clara CA, US
Mark E. Scott-Nash - Boulder CO, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G01B 21/02
E21B 47/00

Abstract:

There is disclosed in an example, a pourable smart matter having a plurality of compute nodes, the compute nodes having: a mechanical structure having a plurality of faces, the faces having abutting face detectors; a network interface; and one or more logic elements comprising a positional engine to: identify a neighbor compute node abutting at least one of the faces; and build an individual positional profile based at least in part on the identifying. The pourable smart matter may be used, for example, to determine the geometry or volume of a container.

Appl. No.:

14/725903

Inventors:

- SANTA CLARA CA, US
Mark E. Scott-Nash - Boulder CO, US

International Classification:

G06F 12/14
G06F 9/455
G06F 21/64

Abstract:

Embodiments of techniques and systems associated with roots-of-trust (RTMs) for measurement of virtual machines (VMs) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a computing platform may provide a virtual machine RTM (vRTM) in a first secure enclave of the computing platform. The computing platform may be configured to perform an integrity measurement of the first secure enclave. The computing platform may provide a virtual machine trusted platform module (vTPM), for a guest VM, outside the first secure enclave of the computing platform. The computing platform may initiate a chain of integrity measurements between the vRTM and a resource of the guest VM. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
