An article of manufacture includes instructions that, when loaded and executed by a processor, configure the processor to, at a coordinator electronic device, initiate a round of electronic device resource requests from a plurality of electronic devices, receive a request for an electronic device resource from each of the electronic devices, provide a fair access scheme for access to the electronic device resource for each of the electronic devices, and provide a proof to each of the electronic devices that the fair access scheme was used in providing access to the electronic device during the round.

Resource-sharing system with cryptographically enforced fair access

An apparatus includes a cryptographic key for decrypting content to be read from a storage media, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to, upon a boot of a server, dynamically generate a new boot authentication code using a prescribed method and determine a reconstituted boot authentication code. The reconstituted boot authentication code was reconstituted from an initial boot authentication code that was previously generated using the prescribed method. The control circuit is configured to compare the new and reconstituted boot authentication codes, and, based on a determination that the new and reconstituted boot authentication codes do not match, take a corrective action.

Detection and remediation of unauthorized boot of storage media

An apparatus includes a cryptographic key for encrypting content to be written to a storage media. The apparatus includes a control circuit configured to determine that the storage media has been physically moved, and, based on the determination that the storage media has been physically moved, erase the storage media by deleting the cryptographic key.

Detection and remediation of unauthorized relocation of storage media

A unified authentication system for decentralized identity platforms is disclosed. In various embodiments, a request comprising one or more identity claims and a digital address is received. The digital address is used to verify, via a verification node associated with a digital address provider, the one or more identity claims. Access to a service is provided, in response to the request, based at least in part on a response from the verification node indicating the one or more identity claims have been verified. The verification node is configured to obtain consent, in real time, from a user with which the digital address is associated, prior to providing said response indicating the one or more identity claims have been verified.

Unified authentication system for decentralized identity platforms

Proxied cross-ledger authentication techniques are disclosed. In various embodiments, a verifier presentation requirement is determined, the verifier presentation requirement indicating a set of elements required to be provided by a client to authenticate the client. An authentication contract instance is created on a market maker ledger not associated specifically with the verifier, the authentication contract instance including at least a subset of the elements required by the verifier presentation requirement. A verifier system associated with the verifier presentation requirement is configured to read information from the authentication contract instance, obtain from an issuer associated with the client an issuer revocation data associated with the authentication contract instance, and use the information read from the authentication contract instance and the issuer revocation data to authenticate the client.

Proxied cross-ledger authentication

Techniques are disclosed to provide enforceable pseudonymous reputation through chained endorsers. In various embodiments, a request associated with a chained endorsement operation is received via a communication interface. A client identity information is extracted from the request. Data comprising or associated with the client identity information is combined with a secret value. A one-way transform of the combined value is performed. A result of the one-way transform is returned to a client with which the chained endorsement operation is associated.

Enforceable pseudonymous reputation through chained endorsers

A power supply system which connects a DC consumer to an AC supply includes an AC-DC converter and a UPS. The AC-DC converter has an input to which alternating current from the AC supply is applied and an output at which DC current is developed. The UPS has an input to which direct current from the AC-DC converter is applied and an output at which DC current is developed. The DC current developed at the output of the AC-DC converter and DC current developed at the output of the UPS are applied to the DC consumer selectively in parallel with each other or exclusively to each other.
