Abstract: Systems and methods for discovering a device having an unknown location includes: a first signal source having a first known location and a second signal source having a second known location, the first signal source and the second signal source transmit radio signals using a first radio frequency band during a first search cycle; a sampling receiver having a known location that samples radio signals transmitted by the first signal source and the second signal source during the first search cycle; a disoriented sampling receiver having an unknown location that samples radio signals transmitted by the first signal source and the second signal source during the first search cycle; and a signal processor: aggregates the samples of the radio signals from the sampling receiver and the disoriented sampling receiver; analyzes the aggregated samples of the radio signals; and determines a first set of possible locations of the disoriented sampling receiver.

Abstract: Systems and methods of using a machine learning model to detect physical characteristics of an environment based on radio signal data include at a radio signal receiver, collecting noise floor signal data comprising radio signal data from an environment within a predetermined proximity of the radio signal receiver; implementing a trained deep machine learning classifier that is trained to classify one or more physical characteristics of the environment based on the radio signal data; generating machine learning input based on the radio signal data collected by the radio signal receiver; receiving the machine learning input at the trained deep machine learning classifier; and generating by the trained deep machine learning model one or more classification labels identifying the one or more physical characteristics of the environment based on the noise floor signal data.

Abstract: A system and method for cryptographically securing a device includes initializing a cryptographic processing circuit which includes provisioning a cryptographic key store associated with the cryptographic processing circuit with cryptographic key material; and establishing a first cryptographically secured connection between a main central processing unit of the autonomous device and the cryptographic processing circuit of the device; and implementing a cryptographic validation of resident firmware of the main central processing unit by validating a cryptographic digital signature ascribed to the resident firmware against an up-to-date cryptographic digital signature used for installing and/or updating the resident firmware of the main central processing circuit.

Abstract: A system and method implementing secure radio communications in a decentralized network includes: a handshake with one other of the plurality of nodes; establishing a point-in-time reference parameter during the handshake, wherein the point-in-time reference parameter is identified at the end of the handshake with the one other node; identifying a window in randomly sequence of rotating windows based on the point-in-time reference parameter, wherein the identified window contains a channel for conducting an encrypted communication with the one other node; and establishing the communication channel with the one other node.
