Abstract: A docking station including a network interface controller to communicatively couple the docking station to a network, a controller to manage the docking station, and a hub communicatively coupled to both the network interface controller and the controller. In one example, the hub is communicatively coupled to a computing device. In another example, the controller causes the hub to use the computing device as a master based on the computing device being communicatively coupled to the hub and causes the hub to use the controller as the master based on the computing device not being communicatively coupled to the hub.

Abstract: Examples associated with secure connection are described. One example system includes a port controller. The port controller may route custom communications to a peripheral over an operable connection between the system and the peripheral via a port. The custom communications may be routed to the peripheral over a side-band channel of the operable connection between the system and the peripheral. The system also includes an application. The application may establish a secure connection the peripheral using the custom communications. The application may also receive a payload from the peripheral via the secure connection.

Abstract: Examples relate to operating mode configuration. An apparatus may include a memory resource storing executable instructions. Instructions may include instructions to receive a message from a host computing device coupled to the apparatus. The message may include a Host Based Media Access Control Address (HBMA). Instructions may further include instructions to configure the apparatus using the HBMA in response to a determination that the apparatus is in a particular operating mode. The apparatus may further include a processing resource to execute the instructions stored on the memory resource.

Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device includes a port and a controller. The controller compares an encrypted identifier received via a side-band communications channel of the port to a trusted identifier retrieved from a storage device. Responsive to the encrypted identifier being equivalent to the trusted identifier, the controller compares an encrypted user credential received via the port to a trusted user credential retrieved from the storage device. Responsive to the encrypted user credential being equivalent to the trusted user credential, the controller enables a user access to the electronic device.

Abstract: An apparatus including a host system is provided. The apparatus includes a peripheral device in communication with the host system. The apparatus also includes a programmable memory unit within the peripheral device. The programmable memory unit is to receive a configuration profile from the host system. The configuration profile is to re-configure as an embedded device. In addition, the apparatus includes a power delivery system to provide power to the programmable memory unit and to provide power to an accessory of the peripheral device separately. The power delivery system provides power to the programmable memory unit to allow re-configuration of the peripheral device as the embedded device.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a power converter and a controller. The controller may intercept a power contract negotiation between a first device and a second device, spoof the first device and the second device with respect to each other, and determine a power contract between the first device and the second device. The controller may also supply power to the first device from an external power source through the power converter according to the power contract while enabling pass-through of a communication signal between the first device and the second device through the apparatus.
