A communication system may include a plurality of geographically proximate nodes that communicate via one or more range-limited wireless technologies such as BLUETOOTH&#xae; low energy (BLE). An origin node may generate and communicate a first message responsive to detecting an event occurrence. The message may include an identifier associated with the origin node, data indicative of the event occurrence, a hop count, a maximum hop count, and a number of designated recipient nodes within the communication system. A first designated recipient node may, upon receiving the first message, attempt to confirm the event occurrence included in the first message. Upon confirming the event occurrence, the first designated recipient node may communicate a notification to an external third party. If unable to confirm the event occurrence, the first designated recipient node may generate and communicate a second message to a second designated recipient node included in the first message.

Autonomous sharing of data between geographically proximate nodes

A mechanism is described for facilitating dynamic and trusted cloud-based extension upgrades for computing systems according to one embodiment of the invention. A method of embodiments of the invention includes detecting a computing device needing an upgrade. The upgrade may relate to a hardware component at the computing device needing an upgrade element for the upgrade. The method may further include calling a first cloud server to provide the upgrade over a network. The first cloud server may have first resources including the upgrade element. The method may further include facilitating the hardware component to access the upgrade element at the first cloud server without having to upgrade or replace the hardware component.

Mechanism for facilitating dynamic and trusted cloud-based extension upgrades for computing systems

Systems and methods may provide for implementing a secure communication using physical proximity. In one example, the method may include transmitting an encrypted first communication including a sensitive information file, decrypting the encrypted first communication to generate a decrypted first communication including the sensitive information file, displaying the decrypted first communication, capturing a version of the decrypted first communication displayed on the intermediary device, and extracting the sensitive information file at a user device.

Secure communication using physical proximity

Technologies for information security include a computing device with one or more sensors. The computing device may authenticate a user and, after successful authentication, analyze sensor data to determine whether it is likely that the user authenticated under duress. If so, the computing device performs a security operation such as generating an alert or presenting false but plausible data to the user. Additionally or alternatively, the computing device, within a trusted execution environment, may monitor sensor data and apply a machine-learning classifier to the sensor data to identify an elevated risk of malicious attack. For example, the classifier may identify potential user identification fraud. The computing device may trigger a security response if elevated risk of attack is detected. For example, the trusted execution environment may trigger increased authentication requirements or increased anti-theft monitoring for the computing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Technologies for enhanced user authentication using advanced sensor monitoring

A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method determines whether one or more manageability conditions are present in a computer system, and then invokes an out-of-service manageability remediation environment stored within a portion of a flash device in the computer system when one or more manageability conditions are present.

Flash memory-hosted local and remote out-of-service platform manageability

A software application executing in a first local operating environment may be used to connect to a remote server that requires a credential of a user to complete a transaction. In a second local operating environment that operates external to the first local environment, a user may be authenticated based on a user input received in the second local operating environment. The credential of the user may be securely communicated to the remote server from the second local operating environment. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Method, apparatus, and system for sending credentials securely

Technologies for securely transferring whiteboard content data from a smart whiteboard device to another smart whiteboard device are disclosed. The smart whiteboard device may securely transfer the whiteboard content data to a mobile device. In response to receiving the whiteboard content data from the smart whiteboard device, the mobile device may transfer the received whiteboard content data to the other smart whiteboard device. The other smart whiteboard device may display the transferred whiteboard content data and enable manipulation thereof.

Secure transfer of whiteboard content

Systems and methods may provide for implementing a dynamic payment service. In one example, the method may generate a request communication including purchase detail information relating to an item to request credit from a vendor to conduct a transaction relating to the item, determine a scope of credit to be issued to conduct the transaction relating to the item based on the purchase detail information, and generate a payment communication including the transaction information to complete the transaction relating to the item.

Dynamic payment service

Systems and methods of managing keystroke data in embedded keyboard environments may involve transferring a mode request from a management controller to an embedded controller of a keyboard via a dedicated communication channel. Keystroke activity can be detected at the keyboard, and keystroke data may be transferred from the embedded controller to the management controller via the dedicated communication channel in response to the keystroke activity and the mode request. In addition, the management controller may be used to encrypt the keystroke data, wherein the encrypted keystroke data can be transmitted from the management controller to an off-platform service via a network controller.

Protecting keystrokes received from a keyboard in a platform containing embedded controllers

In a computing device that includes a host operating system and a management engine separate from the host operating system, if the primary operating system is not operating, a management engine may obtain from a credential server via a first network connection logon information for a secured network and the management engine connects to the secure network through a secured connection using the logon information. If the operating system is operating the operating system provides the logon information to the management engine. Certificate verification may be performed by a remote server on behalf of the management engine. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
