Techniques described herein enable wireless payment reader to transition between lower-power and higher-power states while still performing cryptographic operations for securing payment data without undue latency caused by the transition between sleep and awake power states. For instance, a wireless payment reader may store information associated with cryptographic operations performed by the wireless payment reader in persistent memory of the wireless payment reader so that this information may be retained when the wireless payment reader enters a low-power, sleep state. Thus, when the wireless payment reader awakens from the low-power state, the wireless payment reader may read the cryptographic information from the local persistent memory rather than needing to request this information from a payment service.

Decreasing cryptographic-operation latency on payment readers

A vehicle computer system includes one or more sensors configured to receive input regarding a vehicle's environment, and a controller in communication with the one or more sensors of the vehicle. The controller is configured to identify a cyber-attack on one or more vehicle controllers in the vehicle, and respond to the cyber-attack based upon at least the vehicle environment.

System for adaptive vehicle security and response

Techniques described herein are directed to, among other things, wireless payment readers configured to transition between multiple different power states. In some instances, these power states include one or more relatively low-power states such that an overall battery life of the wireless payment readers are lengthened. Further, in some instances, a point-of-sale (POS) application operating on a POS device that wirelessly couples to an example wireless payment reader may cause the wireless payment reader to transition from one state to another, such as from a first, lower-power state to a second, higher-power state in response to the POS application determining that a payment is to be processed using the wireless payment reader.
