A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for domain-authenticated control of platform resources. Resources under the control of the platform are managed in accordance with access control rules that are centrally managed by a directory service. Security policies are uniformly applied by requiring authorization of the user's access to platform resources including hard drives, flash memory, sensors, network controllers and power state controllers.

Domain-authenticated control of platform resources

Systems and techniques for a sensor platform for a geometric physical area are described herein. The sensor platform combines sensors installed in the physical area with transient sensors on people and articles within the area. This collaborative sensor data may then be used to identify interactions between people and articles and react by using these interactions to locate documents based on the person, the article, and the interaction within the geometric physical area.

Sensor platform for geometric physical area

Various systems and methods for providing an emergency evacuation service are described herein. An apparatus to provide an emergency evacuation service comprises an emergency event detection module to detect the existence of an emergency event at a venue; a transceiver to request and receive evacuation instructions from an emergency evacuation system, in response to detecting the existence of the emergency event; and a controller to process the evacuation instructions and display, to a user of the apparatus, information related to the evacuation instructions.

Emergency evacuation service

Embodiments of apparatus and methods for configuring user customizable operational features of a vehicle are described. In embodiments, an apparatus may include a communication module configured to be disposed in the vehicle, and communicate with a mobile device a user. The apparatus may further include a controller configured to be disposed in the vehicle and coupled with the communication module, to obtain from the mobile device, one or more preferences of the user for one or more user customizable features of the vehicle, and adjust the one or more user customizable operational features of the vehicle based at least in part on the one or more preferences of the user obtained. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Configuring user customizable operational features of a vehicle

A manageability engine, and/or operations thereof, for controlling access to one or more resources of a computer device. In an embodiment, the manageability engine executes an authentication agent to perform authentication of a local user of a computer platform which includes the manageability engine. In another embodiment, the manageability engine includes a device driver to control an input/output device for the local user to exchange an authentication factor via a trusted path between the input/output device and the manageability engine.

Method, apparatus and system for controlling access to computer platform resources

Methods and systems to bind a computer device to one or more computer systems, such that only an authorized computer system may access a protected portion of the device. A processor within the computer system may provide a proxy environment to interface between the device and a trusted environment of the computer system, such as a management environment that is secure from the proxy environment. The device may be configured to authenticate the trusted environment through the proxy environment, and to verify integrity of messages exchanged with the trusted environment through the proxy environment. Authentication may include a SSL and/or TSL handshake protocol. The device may be configured to authenticate a certificate, such as an X.509 certificate, a certificate chain, and/or a hash thereof. The device may include computer memory, a printer, display, circuit board, keyboard, mouse, pointing device, and/or other physical device.
