Abstract: The present invention provides a method of driving a main rotor (2) of a rotorcraft (1) in rotation. A regulation setpoint (C) for a power plant (3) used for driving the main rotor (2) at a variable speed of rotation is generated by a control unit (4) and is transmitted to a regulator unit (5) for regulating the operation of the power plant (3). The value of an initial setpoint (NRini) is generated progressively and continuously depending on variation in the current value of the density (D) of the ambient air outside the rotorcraft (1). The value of the initial setpoint (NRini) is potentially corrected depending on predefined flight conditions of the rotorcraft (1). Prior to being transmitted to the regulator unit (5), the value of the regulation setpoint (C) is preferably limited to a range of acceptable speeds for driving the main rotor (2) in rotation.

Abstract: A method of authenticating a network client to a relying party computer via a computer server comprises the computer server receiving a transaction code from a token manager via a first communications channel. The network client is configured to communicate with a token manager which is configured to communicate with a hardware token interfaced therewith. The network client is also configured to communicate with the relying party computer and the computer server. The computer server also receives a transaction pointer from the relying party computer via a second communications channel that is distinct from the first communications channel. Preferably, the transaction pointer is unpredictable by the computer server. The computer server transmits an authorization signal to the relying party computer in accordance with a correlation between the transaction code and the transaction pointer. The authorization signal facilitates authentication of the network client to the relying party computer.

Abstract: A method of identity attribute validation at a computer server involves the computer server receiving an identity attribute validation request from a communication terminal. The computer server further receives a credential, and is configured with an attribute disclosure profile of attributes authorized for disclosure to the communication terminal. The computer server determines the validity of the credential, and provides the communication terminal with a response to the identity attribute validation request based on an outcome of the credential validity determination. The attribute validation response includes attributes data associated with the credential authorized for disclosure by the attribute disclosure profile but excludes attributes data associated with the credential not authorized for disclosure by the attribute disclosure profile.
