Title: Resource management based on physical authentication and authorization

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed that provide for management of resources of one or more systems included in an access-controlled area of a distributed site of an electric power delivery system. In certain embodiments, one or more users entering and access-controlled area may be identified via physical access control credentials provided to an associated access control system. A determination may be made as to whether the users have access rights to one or more hardware and/or software resources of systems included in the access-controlled area. Based on the determination, control signals may be generated by the access control system to enable and/or disable associated resources.

Policy-managed physical access authentication

Patent Masters, George W.; Robinson, Kylan T.; Smith, Rhett; ...

Systems and methods are disclosed that provide for physical access management of an access-controlled area of a distributed site of an electric power delivery system using one or more one or more articulated access control policies. In some embodiments, to authenticate rights to access an access-controlled area, a first user may provide an associated access control system with credentials satisfying first authentication requirements based on an applicable policy. In connection with subsequent access authentication requests, the access control system may accept credentials satisfying second authentication requirements that may be different than the first authentication requirements. In this manner, access controlmore » « less

Method of authenticating integrated circuits using optical characteristics of physically unclonable functions

Patent Ewing, Daniel Jonathan

A method and apparatus for reading unique identifiers of an integrated circuit. The unique identifiers may be physically unclonable functions (PUFs), formed by high energy ions implanted into semiconductor material of the integrated circuit. The method may include electrically or optically stimulating each of the PUFs and sensing with an optical sensor optical characteristics of resulting light emitted from the PUFs. Then the method may include comparing values associated with the optical characteristics of the PUFs with groups of stored values in a circuit database. Each of the groups of stored values may be associated with optical characteristics of PUFsmore » « less

Physical layer authentication of electronic communication networks

Patent Suski, William Charles; Card, Christopher Alan; Few, Brian Richard

A network authentication system can be configured for sampling a plurality of signal samples from a device on a network, providing the plurality of signal samples to a first machine-learned model that is configured to determine a device fingerprint based at least in part on the plurality of signal samples, and providing the device fingerprint to a second machine-learned model that is configured to classify the device based at least in part on the device fingerprint.

Hardware device to physical structure binding and authentication

Patent Hamlet, Jason R.; Stein, David J.; Bauer, Todd M.

Detection and deterrence of device tampering and subversion may be achieved by including a cryptographic fingerprint unit within a hardware device for authenticating a binding of the hardware device and a physical structure. The cryptographic fingerprint unit includes an internal physically unclonable function ("PUF") circuit disposed in or on the hardware device, which generate an internal PUF value. Binding logic is coupled to receive the internal PUF value, as well as an external PUF value associated with the physical structure, and generates a binding PUF value, which represents the binding of the hardware device and the physical structure. The cryptographicmore » « less

Secure multi-party communication with quantum key distribution managed by trusted authority

Patent Hughes, Richard John; Nordholt, Jane Elizabeth; Peterson, Charles Glen

Techniques and tools for implementing protocols for secure multi-party communication after quantum key distribution ("QKD") are described herein. In example implementations, a trusted authority facilitates secure communication between multiple user devices. The trusted authority distributes different quantum keys by QKD under trust relationships with different users. The trusted authority determines combination keys using the quantum keys and makes the combination keys available for distribution (e.g., for non-secret distribution over a public channel). The combination keys facilitate secure communication between two user devices even in the absence of QKD between the two user devices. With the protocols, benefits of QKD aremore » « less
