IMMUTABLE CERTIFICATE FOR DEVICE IDENTIFIER COMPOSITION ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184929 titled 'IMMUTABLE CERTIFICATE FOR DEVICE IDENTIFIER COMPOSITION ENGINE
The patent application relates to an immutable certificate for a Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE) used in secure computing environments. The DICE components include a hardware root of trust (HROT), DICE Layer 0 (L0) for deriving a DICE identity key, and DICE Layer 1 (L1) for deriving a DICE alias key based on the identity key. The system also includes a controller for generating certificates based on a Compound Device Identifier (CDI).
- Hardware root of trust (HROT) component for secure computing environments
- DICE Layer 0 (L0) component for deriving a DICE identity key
- DICE Layer 1 (L1) component for deriving a DICE alias key
- Controller for generating certificates based on a Compound Device Identifier (CDI)
Potential Applications: - Secure authentication in IoT devices - Secure bootstrapping in embedded systems - Secure communication in industrial control systems
Problems Solved: - Ensuring device identity and authenticity in secure environments - Protecting against unauthorized access and tampering
Benefits: - Enhanced security for devices and systems - Immutable certificates for secure communication - Efficient and reliable device authentication
Commercial Applications: Title: "Secure Device Authentication Technology for IoT and Embedded Systems" This technology can be used in industries such as IoT, industrial automation, and cybersecurity to enhance device security and authentication processes.
Prior Art: There are existing technologies for secure device authentication, but the use of immutable certificates and DICE components in a layered stack is a novel approach.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in secure device authentication technologies and their applications in various industries.
Questions about Device Identifier Composition Engine (DICE): 1. How does the DICE system ensure the security and authenticity of device identifiers? 2. What are the key differences between DICE Layer 0 and DICE Layer 1 components in the system?
Original Abstract Submitted
implementations described herein relate to an immutable certificate for a device identifier composition engine (dice). in some implementations, a device may include a secure computing environment. the secure component environment may include a hardware root of trust (hrot) dice component, a dice layer 0 (l0) component configured to derive a dice identity key, wherein the dice l0 component is above the hrot dice component in a layer stack, a dice layer 1 (l1) component configured to derive a dice alias key based on the dice identity key, wherein the dice l1 component is above the dice l0 component in the layer stack, wherein the dice l1 component and the dice l0 component are implemented as mutable code, and a controller. the controller may be configured to generate a set of certificates based on a compound device identifier (cdi).
