Abstract: The present invention is related to a decision-support system and method for providing with a score an object represented by a target item from a multidimensional space, said score being representative of the probability that the object satisfies a given binary property. The method and/or decision support-system may be performed in a computer environment comprising processing means connected to memory means.

Abstract: A transmitter and a receiver for an optical telecommunication system of the WDM type are disclosed. In one aspect, the transmitter uses a chromato-temporal encoder which, with each block of symbols to be transmitted, associates a code matrix, where each element of the matrix corresponds to a wavelength and a use of the channel. The transmitter includes multiple modulators, where each modulator modulates a laser beam at a wavelength during a use of the channel by an element corresponding to the code matrix. The beams modulated in this manner are multiplexed in an optical fiber. Another embodiment using both a wavelength and a polarization encoding is also proposed.

Abstract: A method of checking and protecting data and identities within a communication or computing process between at least one author and at least one recipient comprises at least: a step of allocation by an anonymization authority of one and the same stamp forming a cryptonymic marking, to one or to several different authors and to their objects; a step of inserting said stamp into the communication or computing protocol associated with the data stream, by means of a stamp system, the protocol containing the identity of said author or of said object of the author or authors, and each author being able moreover to simultaneously have a plurality of different cryptonyms; a step of reading, at at least one recipient, of said protocol by means of a reading system able to detect the presence of said stamp.

Abstract: A method of securing and controlling data and identities within a communication process between an author and at least one recipient comprises at least: inserting at least one stamp in the computer or communication protocol associated with the data stream by means of a stamping system, the protocol containing the identity of the author, said stamp being a distinctive sign and a sign of recognition and a means of access to a secured account; the author using said secured account, administered by an anonymization authority, and said stamp being used to identify itself with said authority; the data stream comprising at least one instruction; at least one additional instruction having been registered with the anonymization authority and placed in the secured account; reading, at least one recipient, of said protocol by means of a reading system capable of detecting the presence of said stamp and then in extracting all or part of the additional instruction from the anonymization authority or from the secured accou
