Abstract: Systems and methods which provide training sequence or preamble-based synchronization with respect to non-coherent modulated signals and/or differentially coherent modulated signals are described. Embodiments provide for time synchronization using a technique for mitigating the effect of carrier frequency offset (CFO) with respect to the received signal. Embodiments of the present invention provide for frequency synchronization using a technique for estimating CFO using a constant bias induced with respect to the received signal by CFO. Additionally or alternatively, embodiments of the present invention provide for frequency synchronization using a technique for estimating CFO using phase rotation caused by CFO. The time synchronization and frequency synchronization of embodiments may be performed independently, without requiring the results of one synchronization operation for performing the other synchronization operation.

Abstract: In an embodiment, content may be encrypted by a first device using a dual hash chain technique, where the first device maintains a forward hash chain and a second device maintains a backward hash chain, and content keys for encrypting content are derived using values of the forward and backward hash chains.

Additionally, embodiments provide techniques for distributing encrypted content to a requesting device with fine-grained access control.
