GUARDING DEVICE ONBOARDING OWNERSHIP VOUCHERS AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED OWNERSHIP CHANGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18046687 titled 'GUARDING DEVICE ONBOARDING OWNERSHIP VOUCHERS AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED OWNERSHIP CHANGES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that can manage ownership of devices by receiving ownership vouchers and updating ownership information based on these vouchers.
- System can receive ownership vouchers for devices.
- System can update ownership information based on received vouchers.
- System can verify ownership using user input and ownership vouchers.
- System can store information about device onboarding services used for verification.
- System can direct devices to access onboarding services for provisioning.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as IoT, smart home devices, and asset management systems where ownership verification and management are crucial.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of securely and efficiently managing ownership of devices, ensuring that only authorized entities can control and access the devices.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved security, streamlined ownership transfer processes, and enhanced control over device access and management.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Device Ownership Management System for Secure IoT Devices" can be used in industries such as smart home automation, industrial IoT, and fleet management systems to ensure secure and efficient ownership management of devices.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing ownership management systems for devices that may not provide the same level of security and efficiency in ownership verification and transfer processes.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle ownership disputes between entities?
The patent application does not specify how the system resolves ownership disputes between entities if conflicting ownership vouchers are presented.
What measures are in place to prevent unauthorized access to the device onboarding service?
The patent application does not detail the security measures implemented to prevent unauthorized access to the device onboarding service, which could be a potential vulnerability in the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system can receive a first ownership voucher for a device that identifies a first entity as being the owner. The system can receive a second ownership voucher indicative of the first entity changing the owner to a second entity. The system can determine that the first entity is the owner based on the first ownership voucher. The system can update the owner to be the second entity via storing the second ownership voucher. The system can, based on receiving second user input associated with the second entity, verify the second entity as the owner using the second ownership voucher. The system can, based on verifying the second entity as the owner, store an identifier of a device onboarding service used to perform the verifying. The system can direct the device to access the device onboarding service to provision the device using the identifier of the device onboarding service.
