Application: Securing a computing device accessory (Patent ID: US20240214202A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft describes a method for authenticating a remote accessory device connected to a host device through an encrypted communication channel. The process involves obtaining a device certificate from the remote accessory device, receiving and verifying a first device token, generating a second device token, and storing it in the token history associated with the device certificate. If the first device token exists within the token history, the remote accessory device is determined to be authentic. The method also includes sending an indication to the host device confirming the authenticity of the remote accessory device.
Additionally, the patent outlines a method for detecting counterfeit remote accessory devices by determining that the first device token does not exist within the token history associated with the device certificate. In such cases, the remote accessory device is identified as counterfeit, and the device certificate is added to a ban list. An indication is sent to the host device to inform them of the banned device, potentially leading to the termination of the connection with the remote accessory device. The patent also covers scenarios where the host device is a gaming console and the remote accessory device is a gaming controller, emphasizing the application of the technology in gaming environments.
