  • Patent number: 7512796
    Abstract: Authentication method for authenticating a mobile node to a packet data network, in which a shared secret for both the mobile node and the packet data network is arranged by using a shared secret of the mobile node and a telecommunications network authentication centre. In the method, the mobile node sends its subscriber identity to the packet data network together with a replay attack protector. The packet data network obtains authentication triplets, forms a session key using them, and sends back to the mobile node challenges and a cryptographic authenticator made by using the session key. The mobile node can then form the rest of the authentication triplets using the challenges and then form the session key. With the session key, the mobile node can check the validity of the cryptographic authenticator. If the authenticator is correct, the mobile node sends a cryptographic response formed using the session key to the packet data network for authenticating itself to the packet data network.

  • Publication number: 20090016738
    Abstract: A clock recovery device adapted to recover at least one clock signal from an optical input signal. The input signal includes at least one data signal. The clock recovery device-includes a first waveguide, a first optical resonator coupled to the first waveguide, a second optical resonator coupled to the first waveguide, and a combiner to combine signals provided by the first optical resonator and the second optical resonator in order to provide an output signal. A passband of the first optical resonator is matched with a first spectral peak of the input signal, and a passband of the second optical resonator is matched with a second spectral peak of the input signal such that the spectral separation between the first and the second peaks is equal to a clock frequency associated with a first data signal. The optical resonators store optical energy and provide an output also when the data signal is zero.

  • Patent number: 7190851
    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for highly selective and sensitive chemical sensing. Two modes of laser light are transmitted through a waveguide, refracted by a thin film host reagent coating on the waveguide, and analyzed in a phase sensitive detector for changes in effective refractive index. Sensor specificity is based on the particular species selective thin films of host reagents which are attached to the surface of the planar optical waveguide. The thin film of host reagents refracts laser light at different refractive indices according to what species are forming inclusion complexes with the host reagents.

  • Patent number: 5160523
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing waveguides by an ion exchange technique on a glass substrate. In order to be able to alleviate the tolerances allowed for the ion exchange technique, the waveguides are formed in the invention by diffusing ions which increase the refractive index away from a waveguide formed previously on the glass substrate and being wider than the optical waveguides to be produced, by using the ion exchange technique and a positive-type ion exchange mask.
