CPC Class H04W

In some aspects, an apparatus for encoding data for delivery to or for decoding data retrieved from a storage medium comprises a memory device and at least one hardware processor. The memory device is configured to store at least one parameter associated with at least one cryptographic protocol, the at least one parameter comprising one or more of a first cryptographic scheme, a first cryptographic key operation, a first cryptographic key length, and first cipher directives. The hardware processor is configured to generate a first frame comprising a first field for one parameter selected from the first cryptographic scheme, the first cryptographic key operation, the first cryptographic key length, and the first cipher directives and excluding fields for non-selected parameters, wherein the first frame is associated with the data delivered to or retrieved from the storage medium.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method comprising: registering a record for a radio resource management application from an application vendor in a distributed ledger, wherein the record is cryptographically signed by the application vendor, comprises application data, and defines a deployment method for deploying the application to one or more radio access network controllers. The method further comprises transmitting, in accordance with the deployment method defined in the record, the application data to a radio access network controller for applying the application for radio resource management.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement software defined silicon feature licensing are disclosed. Example licensor systems disclosed herein includes a third party verifier to verify one or more credentials included in a request to become an authorized delegated licensor, the request received from a third party. Disclosed example licensor systems also include a feature identifier to identify a feature of a silicon structure which the third party is to be granted the authority to license. Disclosed example licensor systems further include a configuration installation code generator to generate feature configuration installation code, the feature configuration installation code to be used by the third party to generate at least a portion of the license, the portion of the license to be used by a licensee to configure the silicon structure to access the licensed feature, and contents of the feature configuration installation code encrypted to prevent access by the authorized delegated licensor.

A low-cost, multi-function adhesive tape platform with a form factor that unobtrusively integrates one or more transducers and one or more wireless communication devices in an adhesive product system. In an aspect, the adhesive product system integrates transducer and wireless communication components within a flexible adhesive structure in a way that not only provides a cost-effective platform for interconnecting, optimizing, and protecting the constituent components but also maintains the flexibility needed to function as an adhesive product that can be deployed seamlessly and unobtrusively into various applications and workflows, including sensing, notification, security, and object tracking applications, and asset management workflows such as manufacturing, storage, shipping, delivery, and other logistics associated with moving products and other physical objects.
