  • Patent number: 11824694
    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer readable medium for transmitting data using polynomials and instantaneous spectral analysis. In and/or prior to the transmitter, a signal may be formed by fitting the data with a polynomial, which is projected onto Cairns series functions. The Cairns series functions are converted into Cairns exponential functions, which are combined based on frequency information to produce the set of sinusoidals with continuously time-varying amplitude, each of the sinusoidals having a different frequency.

  • Publication number: 20230198818
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention facilitate secure communication by changing sets of symbol waveforms used transmit data in particular symbol times defined herein as Symbol Waveform Hopping. SWH may be enabled by selecting two or more modulation formats that have sufficiently comparable communication performance (e.g., occupied bandwidth and signal power efficiency) to enable successful sending of data between a transmitter and receiver employing SWH, but characterized by symbol waveform alphabet that include different symbol waveform, so that the overall transmission/communication performance of data stream in a signal transmission channel of the system is not significantly affected by switching between modulation formats, but one symbol waveform alphabet is not reliably able to receive signals sent using the other alphabets. Some or all of the symbol waveforms in each alphabet may not be present in other alphabets.

  • Publication number: 20230019214
    Abstract: Systems, devices, software, and methods of the present invention provide for homomorphically encrypted (HE) and other data represented as polynomials of degree K?1 to be transformed in O(K*log(K)) time into ‘unique-spiral’ representations in which both linear-time (O(K)) addition and linear-time multiplication are supported without requiring an intervening transformation. This capability has never previously been available and enables very significant efficiency improvements, i.e., reduced runtimes, for applications such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Other efficient operations, such as polynomial division, raising to a power, integration, differentiation and parameter-shifting are also possible using the unique-spiral representations. New methods are introduced based on the unique-spiral representation that have applications to efficient polynomial composition, inversion, and other important topics.
