This disclosure describes an electronic device that can be installed within an access control system in parallel with a legacy interface device. The electronic device may perform steps of determining a set of configuration settings associated with an access control system to which the electronic device is electrically connected, receiving, by the electronic device, a first signal in a format associated with the access control system, configuring, based on the set of configuration settings, one or more signal pathways within the electronic device, generating, by routing the first signal through the one or more signal pathways, a second signal in a second format, and providing the second signal to at least one second electronic device.

Controlled startup of devices is based on dynamic statistical predictions. Timely startup of onboard associated vehicle devices is based on dynamic statistical predictions and driver proximity to the vehicle. An apparatus for timely startup includes an interface operatively coupled with a power consuming device and control logic coupled with the interface. The control logic is operable in a first mode to perform processing for determining a presence of a first condition of the vehicle, and to selectively activate the power consuming device of the vehicle, via the interface, responsive to determining the presence of the first condition. The control logic is operable in a second mode to suspend, via the interface, the processing for determining the presence of the first condition of the vehicle. The control logic selectively transitions between the first and second modes in accordance with a stochastic modeling of the presence of the first condition over time.

Startup control of devices

A gateway apparatus supports differentiated secure communications among heterogeneous electronic devices. A communication port communicates via communication networks of different types with two or more associated devices having diverse secure communication capabilities. The gateway logic selectively authenticates the associated devices for group membership into a Secure Communication Group (SCG), and selectively communicates Secure Communication Group Keys (SCGKs) to the devices having the diverse secure communication capabilities for selectively generating session keys locally by the associated devices for mutual secure communication in accordance with the group membership of the associated devices in the SCG.

Supporting differentiated secure communications among heterogeneous electronic devices

A system authenticates in-vehicle electronic devices having unequal capabilities such as having varying different communication and processing capabilities. A Connected Vehicle Gateway portion of a selected in-vehicle device acts as an onboard authentication proxy and onboard key server functionality for other in-vehicle devices, and serves as an interface between an in-vehicle network and one or more associated external networks, thereby eliminating the need for explicit peer discovery protocol and the requirement of devices to perform key establishment with each individual communication peer. Instead, each in-vehicle device establishes the group keys as a result of its authentication with the onboard key server and uses the group keys to locally generate and update its session keys. The onboard key server selectively obtains the keys from one or more off-board authentication servers and distributes them to selected in-vehicle devices.

Authentication of devices having unequal capabilities

An antenna, a wireless communication system, and a method for enabling presence detection of antennae are provided. The antenna includes a memory device that stores specifications of the antenna. These specifications are acquired by a wireless device in the wireless communication system. The wireless device is configured based on the specifications of the antenna.
