Abstract: Systems and methods for transacting over a network. A first agent operating on a first computing system is operable to transact on behalf of a first entity. The first agent transacts with a second agent operating on a second computing system for a first cryptographically verifiable credential, transmits the first cryptographically verifiable credential to a third agent, and transacts with the third agent based on the first cryptographically verifiable credential for a second cryptographically verifiable credential to facilitate transacting with a fourth agent for a service. The second agent is operable to receive telemetry data of the first computing system which is configured to monitor the telemetry data, determine an assessment of the first entity based on the telemetry data, generate the first cryptographically verifiable credential based on the assessment of the first entity by the second agent, and transmit the first cryptographically verifiable credential to the first agent.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for operating a flight plan based distributed ledger system implemented on an aviation communications network. According to an aspect, data associated with communication transmissions occurring between communications elements of the aviation communications network may be recorded on the distributed ledger system. The communications elements involved in the distributed ledger system may be determined using a received flight plan. The flight plan information may be used to initialize the ledger information at each communications element involved in the distributed ledger system. The distributed ledger system may be updated to add or remove communications elements if the flight deviates from the original flight plan. After the flight plan is executed, the distributed ledger system may inactivate the ledger and store the ledger information in a centralized repository.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for securing a network. A method may include obtaining, by a detection engine, an encapsulated image defining an action for a predetermined data packet of interest; determining, by the detection engine, that the action defined by the encapsulated image should be applied to one or more data packets accessed by the detection engine; generating and deploying, by the detection engine, an action state including one or more attributes associated with the accessed data packet and the encapsulated image; determining, at a first execution engine executing parallel with the detection engine, that the one or more data packets comprises attributes matching the one or more attributes included in the deployed action state; and executing, by the first execution engine, the action included in the deployed action state on a received data packet to generate a processed data packet.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for securing a network using one or more controllers and one or more network nodes. A method may utilize a packet processing engine configured to process incoming network packets, a processing analysis engine configured to perform relatively more complex processing and analysis, and one or more controllers configured to coordinate one or more packet processing engines and one or more processing analysis engines across a network to perform endpoint threat detection and mitigation.

Abstract: A bearing defect auto-detection system includes a processor to receive condition monitoring data that includes vibration harmonics corresponding to a bearing coupled to a rotatable shaft. The processor performs a pattern sweeping process that sweeps a pattern through both a speed range and a bearing class defect frequency range. In response to the test pattern having at test pattern sideband, the processor also sweeps the test pattern sideband through a sideband range, against the condition monitoring data to determine the pattern's fundamental frequency and sideband frequency. The processor determines a most probably bearing defect type associated with the bearing based on the best match value amongst results associated with the test pattern. The processor also performs a post-sweep logic process that compares a number (N) of most recent results from the pattern sweeping process to at least one conditional test to confirm the most probably bearing defect type is present.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for performing speed and defect identification of a component such as, for example, a bearing. The method can be implemented by a computer, such that the computer receives from one or more sensors condition monitoring data. The computer sweeps patterns along a speed range against the condition monitoring data and multiplies each pattern component of the patterns by a matching environmental spectral component. The computer, then, adds the pattern components together to produce one or more results.
