==Secure Remote Debugging - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958071 titled 'Secure Remote Debugging

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application related to secure remote debugging techniques. In one embodiment, a debugging entity sends a host token to a device through an encrypted interface, generates a session key based on the host token and a device token, and transmits an acknowledgment signal to initiate a debug session. The debugging entity also sends a debug unlock key to unlock the device for the debug session.

* Secure remote debugging techniques:
  - Debugging entity generates and transmits host token to device
  - Encrypted interface ensures secure communication
  - Session key is generated based on host token and device token
  - Acknowledgment signal is sent to initiate debug session
  - Debug unlock key is transmitted to unlock device for debug session

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in software development, IoT device debugging, and remote troubleshooting of electronic devices.

== Problems Solved ==
- Ensures secure communication during remote debugging sessions
- Prevents unauthorized access to devices during debugging
- Facilitates efficient and effective remote debugging processes

== Benefits ==
- Enhanced security for remote debugging activities
- Streamlined and secure communication between debugging entity and device
- Improved efficiency in identifying and resolving software bugs

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
- Software development companies
- IoT device manufacturers
- Electronics troubleshooting services

== Possible Prior Art ==
There are existing methods for remote debugging, but the specific technique of using host and device tokens to generate a session key for secure communication may be novel.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology compare to existing remote debugging methods? ===
This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing remote debugging methods, so it is unclear how this technology differs or improves upon current practices.

=== What are the potential limitations or drawbacks of implementing this secure remote debugging technique? ===
The article does not address any potential limitations or drawbacks that may arise from implementing this secure remote debugging technique, leaving uncertainty about any challenges that users may face.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods and apparatus relating to techniques to provide secure remote debugging are described. In an embodiment, a debugging entity generates and transmits a host token to a device via an interface. The interface provides encrypted communication between the debugging entity and the device. The debugging entity generates a session key based at least in part on the host token and a device token. The debugging entity transmits an acknowledgement signal to the device after generation of the session key to initiate a debug session. The debugging entity transmits a debug unlock key to the device to cause the device to be unlocked for the debug session. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
