    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to deferred authentication in secure boot systems. An untrusted component is identified in a boot sequence in a trusted execution environment. A secure boot authentication of the untrusted component is deferred for a predetermined period and access to hardware resources is restricted. An image digest and privilege rights including access to hardware resources associated with the untrusted component is obtained in an untrusted execution environment. A request including the image digest and the privilege rights is sent to a central node over a secure connection. A response including a signature based on image digest and approved privileges is received from the central node. The untrusted component is authenticated in the trusted execution environment using the signature before expiry of the predetermined period. Access to the hardware resources is provided to the untrusted component in the trusted execution environment based on the approved privileges.

    Abstract: Examples of techniques for optimizing Neighbour Report (NR) are disclosed. In an example, a first virtual access point (VAP) operating in a 2.4 Giga Hertz (GHz) or 5 GHz band may determine a first Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the first VAP operating in a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. The first VAP may identify a set of co-located VAPs operating in a 6 GHz band. The first VAP may filter the set of co-located VAPs to obtain a neighbour list comprising a second VAP, from the set, having a second SSID identical to the first SSID. Using the neighbour list, the first VAP may generate a Neighbour Report.

    Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for authenticating an access point. In the method, a request for joining a network is received from an access point. A neighbor authentication notification is transmitted to the access point for obtaining an authentication code from a neighbor access point that is connected in the network in accordance with a determination that the access point is verified. The authentication code that is generated by the neighbor access point is received from the access point. The access point is accepted to join the network in accordance with a determination that the authentication code is valid. Embodiments of the present disclosure present a safe and effective way for authenticating the access point that is requesting to join the network, which provides enhanced authentication and increases the security level of the network.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a detection and defense system relating to a network connection sharing application. For example, the system can simulate a request for a network password using a conventional application that shares this information. The application may be implemented on, for example, a mobile device or a virtual machine (VM). In some embodiments, the mobile device/VM attempts to establish a network connection to an access point (AP) using the shared password over a tunnel established between the AP and mobile device/VM. If the mobile device/VM can connect to the AP, an assumption may be made that the user credentials have been leaked and a potential security risk exists. An alert can be sent to a network administrator of the communication network (e.g., to perform an action, etc.). The action may include, for example, changing the password, removing access from one or more users, and the like.

    Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an approach for performing channel scan by utilizing a target wake time (TWT) mechanism. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a compound AP transmits, to an uplink AP, a request to negotiate a schedule for a TWT session. The compound AP receives a response to the request from the uplink AP. The response comprises timing information of the TWT session. Then, the compound AP performs channel scan during a sleep period determined from the timing information. Data transmission between the compound AP and the uplink AP is disabled during the sleep period. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an effective way for performing the channel scan, thereby ensuring data delivery and enhancing connection robustness between the compound AP and the uplink AP.
