Various embodiments include systems and methods of determining whether media access control (MAC) address spoofing is present in a network by a wireless communication device. A processor of the wireless communication device may determine an anticipated coherence interval based on a beacon frame received from an access point. The processor may schedule an active scan request and may determine whether a response frame corresponding to the scheduled active request is received within the anticipated coherence interval. The processor may calculate a first correlation coefficient in response to the response frame being received within the anticipated coherence interval and may determine that MAC address spoofing is not present in the network when the first correlation coefficient is greater than a first predetermined threshold.

Disclosed is a method for user identity authentication for a peer device joining a peer-to-peer overlay network. In the method, a credential server of the overlay network receives a registered user identity from a joining peer device. The credential server verifies the registered user identity with an identity provider. Upon receiving, at the credential server, successful verification of the registered user identity from the identity provider, the credential server issues to the joining peer device a signed certificate for use by an authenticated peer device in the overlay network to authenticate the registered user identity of the joining peer device, wherein the signed certificate is signed by a private key of the credential server.

Techniques describe opportunistically capturing and tagging images with wireless information by a mobile device. The tagged image may be transmitted to a remote server, such as a crowdsourcing server, where the location at which the image was captured may be determined using visual features from the image. An association between the location and the wireless measurements may be used in building/maintaining a heatmap. In one embodiment, techniques are described for setting camera parameters for opportunistically capturing images and may include receiving at least one signal associated with at least one signal emitting device, determining information associated with the at least one signal emitting device using the at least one signal, setting at least one camera parameter for a camera coupled to the mobile device based on the information associated with the at least one signal emitting device, and capturing one or more images using the at least one camera parameter.

Changing camera parameters based on wireless signal information

A method of disambiguating a location of a mobile station within a structure includes: obtaining, at the mobile station, regional pressure indications and corresponding region indications indicating regions within a structure that are vertically displaced with respect to each other, each of the regional pressure indications indicating atmospheric pressure information associated with the corresponding region; determining mobile station pressure information associated with a present location of the mobile station; comparing the mobile station pressure information with the regional pressure indications; and based on the comparing, determining in which of the regions the mobile station presently resides.

Multi-level location disambiguation

Various embodiments provide methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media enabling rogue access point detection with a communications device by sending multiple probes via different network connections to a remote server and receiving probe replies. Various embodiments may include a communication device transmitting a first probe addressed to a server via a first network connection and a second probe addressed to the server via a second network connection. Upon receiving a first probe reply from the server via the first network connection and a second probe reply from the server via the second network connection server, the communications device may analyze the received probe replies to determine whether an access point of either the first network or the second network is a rogue access point.

Network attack detection using multi-path verification

Methods, and computing devices implementing the methods, that enable client computing devises to work in conjunction with a server device to identify and temporarily defend against non-benign applications (e.g., malware, etc.) and other threats before a more permanent solution or defense (e.g., a patch or software upgrade) becomes available and installed on the client computing device. The server device may be configured to receive reports from the client computing devices, receive threat feeds from third-party servers (e.g., threat intelligence servers, etc.), and use information included in the received threat feed and information included in the received reports to analyze, in the server computing device, a software application that is operating on a client device in multiple passes. The server may generate threat scores (e.g., one for each pass, etc.), and the threat scores to the client computing device for use in devising a customized security response.

Methods and systems for on-device real-time adaptive security based on external threat intelligence inputs

Systems, apparatus and methods for selecting a base station or a set of base stations for RTT measurements, or other interactive radio localization technique, to determine a position fix of a device are presented. The method imposes a processing load on only inactive or less active base stations. Busy or busier base stations are not used in the interactive radio localization technique. By imposing a processing load on only less active base stations, transmitting devices may be under loaded and encounter a more uniform processing delay, and thus provide a more accurate measurement resulting in a more accurate position fix.

Base station selection for positioning/localization based on an indication of capacity

Various embodiments include methods, and computing devices implementing the methods, for analyzing sensor information to identify an abnormal vehicle behavior. A computing device may monitor sensors (e.g., a closely-integrated vehicle sensor, a loosely-integrated vehicle sensor, a non-vehicle sensor, etc.) in the vehicle to collect the sensor information, analyze the collected sensor information to generate an analysis result, and use the generated analysis result to determine whether a behavior of the vehicle is abnormal. The computing device may also generate a communication message in response to determining that the behavior of the vehicle is abnormal, and send the generated communication message to an external entity.

Techniques for providing a user with an augmented virtuality (AV) experience are described herein. An example of a method of providing an AV experience includes determining a location of a mobile device, determining a context based on the location, obtaining AV object information, displaying the AV object information in relation to the context, detecting an interaction with the context, modifying the AV object information based on the interaction, and displaying the modified AV object information. The context may include weighting information. The weighting information may be based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) or Round-Trip Time (RTT) data. The weighting information may be associated with a composition of a physical object in the context. A user gesture may be received, and the AV object information may be modified based on the received gesture information.

Augmented virtuality

Various embodiments provide methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media enabling network path probing with a communications device by sending probes via a network connection to a STUN server and receiving probe replies. The communications device may increment a counter and transmit a test probe configured to be dropped at the first access point (NAT) causing all subsequent NATs to release their IP/port mappings. The communications device may send another probe to the STUN server and receive a probe reply. The communications device may compare the first and second probe replies to determine whether the final IP addresses within the network path match. By continuously incrementing the counter and querying access points, the communications device may determine the number of access points lay along any given network path. The presence of addition or unexpected numbers of NAT Servers may indicate the presence of a rogue access point.

Network path probing using available network connections

Various embodiments include methods, and computing devices implementing the methods, for authenticating vehicle information by polling selected sensors. A server computing device receiving vehicle information from a reporting vehicle may compare the received vehicle information to contextual information to generate a comparison result, and determine whether the received vehicle information should be evaluated with greater scrutiny based on the comparison result. The server computing device may select sensors for polling based on the received vehicle information (and in response to determining that the received vehicle information should be evaluated with greater scrutiny), and poll the selected sensors to received sensor information. The server computing device may use the received sensor information to corroborate the received vehicle information, and perform a responsive action based on the result of the corroboration.
