An electronic device includes a communication device to receive a command from another electronic device while the electronic device is in a power saving state, where the command is different from a wake command; and a processor to transition the electronic device from the power saving state to: a partial wake state when the command indicates a first operation; and a full wake state when the command indicates a second operation.

Partial wake states

In some examples, an electronic device of a localization system comprises a wireless transceiver to exchange data with a mobile device and a processor. The electronic device obtains, from the mobile device, location coordinates of the mobile device. The location coordinates of the mobile device are set as location coordinates of the electronic device. A beacon package comprising an identifier of the electronic device and the location coordinates of the electronic device is generated. The beacon package is transmitted to a local device in proximity to the electronic device.

Electronic devices with location coordinates obtained from mobile devices

A method for providing a set of certificates encoding authorisations, the method comprising processing respective ones of multiple authorisation requests at a trusted signing authority apparatus to verify respective digital signatures applied to the requests, the multiple authorisation requests received over a first communication link between the trusted signing authority apparatus and an administration apparatus, validating one or more authorisation request parameters of respective ones of the authorisation requests, generating a certificate encoding an authorisation at the trusted signing authority apparatus and transmitting the generated certificate to the administration apparatus or a requesting apparatus over a second communication link.

Authentication of entitlement certificates

Examples associated with presence identification are described. One example includes detecting a presence identifier broadcast by a mobile device. The mobile device belongs to a user. A portion of the presence identifier is generated based on a one-time password seed. The portion of the presence identifier is provided to an identification server. Identifying information associated with the user is received from the identification server. The identification server uses the portion to identify the user based on the one-time password seed. An action is performed based on the identifying information.

Presence identification

A method includes sensing, with a sensor, a distance of a user from a display of a computing device. The method further includes comparing, with the computing device, the sensed distance to a threshold distance, and determining, with the computing device, whether the user is present at the display based at least in part on the comparison.

Determining user presence based on sensed distance

A method for managing entitlement of a device to access a service, the method comprising providing an authenticated identity for the device, the authenticated identity including a public encryption key pair associated with the device signed by a trusted authority, and generating a device entitlement certificate encoding an authorisation related to the service and including a public key of the public encryption key pair associated with the device, wherein the device entitlement certificate is signed by the trusted authority.

Managing entitlement

A computer device includes a network interface to connect to a computer network, memory, and a processor connected to the network interface and the memory. The processor is to execute instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are to establish a connection with an auxiliary computer device and start a proxy to forward network communications between the auxiliary computer device and the computer network. The instructions are further to start the proxy in response to the computer device receiving a captive portal from the computer network.

Computer devices to establish network connections

Examples associated with operating system retrieval are described. One example includes presenting a reference to an operating system image file. The image may be presented by a personal computer basic input/output system (BIOS). The personal computer may connect to a mobile device that has retrieved the operating system image file from a remote location based on the reference. The operating system image file is received from the mobile device, and initiated by the personal computer.

Operating system retrieval

Example implementations relate to meeting passcodes. In an example, meeting passcodes can employ a meeting hub including an antenna and a controller coupled to the antenna to wirelessly receive, via the antenna, information including a first meeting passcode from a meeting device, generate a second meeting passcode in response to receipt of the first meeting passcode, cause the second meeting passcode to be sent to a registered user of meeting device, and admit the meeting device to a meeting using the second meeting passcode.

Meeting passcodes

Example implementations relate to signal strength based printings. In an example, signal strength based printings can employ a personal computing device including a network adapter coupled to a computer network, an antenna to receive a wireless signal from a mobile electronic device, a processor to compare a signal strength indication (RSSI) value of the received wireless signal to a RSSI threshold value, and send, via the network adapter, a printable file to a printer based on the comparison of the RSSI value to the RSSI threshold value.

Signal strength based printings

In one example of the disclosure, an encrypted document and an encryption key for decrypting the encrypted document are received from a computer. Presence data for a printer is received via a first wireless network. A user instruction to print the encrypted document at the printer is received. A credential is received from the printer via the first wireless network, where the credential for communication with the printer via a second wireless network with greater bandwidth than the first wireless network. The encrypted document and the encryption key are sent to the printer, where the printer is to utilize the encryption key to decrypt the encrypted document and is to print the document following decryption.

Encrypted document printing utilizing multiple networks

In at least some embodiments, a method comprises obtaining a digital certificate that indicates a parameter of a cryptographic token associated with the digital certificate. The method further comprises associating a level of trust with the digital certificate based on the parameter of the cryptographic token.
