A processing device executing a wide area network (WAN) accessible service receive an encrypted digital image comprising a firmware update for an embedded system of a device having a specific device serial number (DSN). The processing device additionally receives device related information from a computing device, wherein the device related information comprises the DSN of the device comprising the embedded system and a version number of a current firmware component installed on the embedded system. The processing device determines, using the device related information, that the encrypted digital image for the device is available. The processing device then provides the encrypted digital image to the computing device for use by the computing device to update a firmware version of the embedded system.

Local over the air update of an embedded system

A hardware module for an embedded system comprises a network adapter, a memory and a processing device. The memory stores a shared key and a key identifier (ID) associated with the shared key. The processing device is to connect to a local area network (LAN) using the network adapter. The processing device is further to receive a first notification from a computing device that is also connected to the LAN and determine whether the computing device has access to a copy of the shared key based on the key identifier (ID). Responsive to determining that the computing device has access to the copy of the shared key, the processing device is to use the shared key to generate a session key for a session with the computing device. The processing device may then encrypt communications to the computing device using the session key.

Communication module for embedded system

A gateway device includes a first interface to connect to an internet protocol (IP) network and a second interface having a first communication protocol to connect to one or more devices. The gateway device receives an instruction to initiate an attribute update for a device from a remote server via the first interface, the first instruction having a first format. The gateway device determines the attribute update and a virtual device identifier associated with the first device from the first instruction. The gateway device determines the first communication protocol and a first device based at least in part on the first virtual device identifier. The gateway device generates a command for the first device to perform the first attribute update, the command having a second format based at least in part on the first communication protocol, and sends the command to the first device via the second interface.

Proximity based communication with embedded system

A computing device connects to a local area network (LAN) and determines whether a device comprising an embedded system is also connected to the LAN. Responsive to determining that the device is connected to the LAN, the computing device establishes a first session with the embedded system of the device over the LAN and then communicates with the embedded system of the device via the first session.

Apparatus, system, method and computer program product for verifying the integrity of remote network devices that request access to network services and resources. Unintended computer programs such as viruses, worms, or Trojan horses, may compromise remote devices. The invention involves downloading verification software over the web into the web browser of a client for the purpose of performing checks to verify the integrity and security of the client's device or system. The results of such checks are returned over the web to be used in security decisions involving authentication and the grant of authorization to access services and resources.
