An apparatus to collect firmware measurement data at a computing system is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of agents, each including a non-volatile memory storing firmware executed to perform a function associated with the agent, verification logic to generate measurement data by verifying the integrity of the firmware and a register to store the measurement data, and a processor to execute an instruction to collect firmware measurement data from each of the plurality of agents.

Platform measurement collection mechanism

Technologies disclosed herein provide a method for receiving at a device from a remote server, a request for state information from a first processor of the device, obtaining the state information from one or more registers of the first processor based on a request structure indicated by a first instruction of a software program executing on the device, and generating a response structure based, at least in part, on the obtained state information. The method further includes using a cryptographic algorithm and a shared key established between the device and the remote server to generate a signature based, at least in part, on the response structure, and communicating the response structure and the signature to the remote server. In more specific embodiments, both the response structure and the request structure each include a same nonce value.

Secure reporting of platform state information to a remote server

A method for establishing network connections includes connecting a device to a first network, retrieving voice input of a user, sending a message including data related to the voice input to at least one gateway device on the first network, receiving configuration data for a second network via the first network in response to the message, and establishing a connection of the device to the second network using the configuration data received via the first network. Furthermore, an electronic device, a network gateway device and a system are defined.

Establishment of network connections

Methods and apparatus for invoking a security feature of a computing device display in response to detecting an onlooker based on depth data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, computer-readable instructions, and processor circuitry, The processor circuitry is to execute the computer-readable instructions to automatically invoke an onlooker detection model of a computing device in response to determining that the computing device is located in a public, unsecure environment. The onlooker detection model is to detect an onlooker based on data collected by a sensor associated with the computing device. The processor circuitry is to execute the computer-readable instructions to automatically invoke a security feature of a display of the computing device in response to detection of the onlooker.

An apparatus and method for a power-efficient framework to maintain data synchronization of a mobile personal computer (MPC) are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the detection of a data synchronization wakeup event while the MPC is operating according to a sleep state. Subsequent to wakeup event, at least one system resource is disabled to provide a minimum number of system resources required to re-establish a network connection. In one embodiment, user data from a network server is synchronized on the MPC without user intervention; the mobile platform system resumes operation according to the sleep state. In one embodiment, a wakeup alarm is programmed according to a user history profile regarding received e-mails. In a further embodiment, data synchronizing involves disabling a display, and throttling the system processor to operate at a reduced frequency. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Wake-on-touch display screen devices and related methods are disclosed herein An example computing device includes a display screen, a first sensor to detect a presence of a user in an environment, a second sensor to detect a presence of an appendage of the user, and at least one processor to control a power state of the computing device based on first data generated by the first sensor and second data generated by the second sensor.

Wake-on-touch display screen devices and related methods

An electronic device receives depth sensor data that includes depths sensed in multiple zones in the field of view of a depth sensor. The device determines whether a user is in front of the device based on the depth sensor data. If the user is determined to be present, then the device causes a display to enter an operational mode. Otherwise, the device causes the display to enter a standby mode. The device may also determine whether the user's attention is on the device by determining whether the depth sensor data indicates that the user is facing the device. If so, the device causes the display to enter the operational mode. Otherwise, the device causes the display to enter a power saving mode. The device may use a machine learning algorithm to determine whether the depth sensor data indicates that the user is present and/or facing the device.

User detection and user attention detection using multi-zone depth sensing

Methods and apparatus for invoking a security feature of a computing device display in response to detecting an onlooker based on depth data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an onlooker detector and a security manager. The onlooker detector is to detect an onlooker based on depth sensor data collected by a depth sensor associated with a computing device. The security manager is to automatically invoke a security feature of a display of the computing device in response to detection of the onlooker by the onlooker detector.

Technologies for protecting virtual machine memory of a compute device include a virtual machine (VM) instantiated on the compute device, a virtual machine monitor (VMM) established on the compute device to control operation of the VM, a secured memory, and a memory manager. The memory manager receives a memory access request that includes a virtual linear address (LA) from the VM and performs a translation of the LA to a translated host physical address (HPA) of the compute device using one or more page tables associated with the VM and VMM. The memory manager determines whether a secured translation mapping of LA-to-HPA that corresponds to the LA is locked. If the mapping is locked, the memory manager verifies the translation based on a comparison of the translated HPA to a HPA translated using the secured translation mapping and, if verified, performs the memory access request using the translated HPA.

In embodiments, an apparatus to enforce secure display view for trusted transactions may include a first input interface to receive from an application, via a trusted execution environment (TEE), viewport size data and an identifier of a display associated with a secure display of a trusted transaction; and a second input interface to receive from the application, via an untrusted execution environment, an encrypted transaction bitmap associated with the trusted transaction, to be securely displayed on the display; and an enforcement engine coupled to the first input interface and the second input interface, to verify that the size and location of the transaction bitmap are within the viewport to ensure the secure display of the transaction bitmap. In embodiments, after verification of the size and location of the transaction bitmap being within the viewport, the transaction bitmap may be displayed.
