Abstract: A system including a first module and a second module. The first module includes a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) and a permutator circuit. The LFSR outputs a pseudo-random sequence of digital values based on a stored key value. The permutator circuit operates on successive groups of input bits using the pseudo-random sequence. For each of said successive groups, the permutator circuit: (a) selects a bit permutation based on a respective one of the digital values in the pseudo-random sequence, (b) permutes the bits of the group using the selected bit permutation to obtain a resultant group of bits, and (c) transmits the resultant group onto an output bus. The second module also includes an LFSR and a permutator circuit that operate to invert the permutations applied by the first module. In a two-dimensional embodiment, the first module and second module may include additional circuitry for scrambling bits between groups.

Abstract: A database system includes servers configured to receive requests from user systems. Each server includes a local and a global store. Each local store stores the number of requests received by its server. The system includes a processor configured to receive the number of requests from servers. The processor is configured to determine the number of requests received by all of the servers, and send this number of requests to each server. The global store stores the number of requests received from the processor. A given server is configured to compare the number of requests received by the servers with a threshold number. If this number is greater than the threshold number, then the given server is configured to send a message to the user systems that the number of threshold requests has been exceeded and/or the given server will discontinue accepting requests.

Abstract: Configuration data within a session border controller (SBC) is updated to support a new external node in an automatic fashion by a computer system. A user is prompted for an identity of a node external to the communication network that transfers the signaling, and a call processor internal to the communication network that receives and processes the signaling. The identities are then processed to select at least one session border controller (SBC), and configuration data is retrieved from the selected SBC. This configuration data from the selected is automatically updated to allow signaling from the external node to the call processor. Signaling received from the external node into the SBC, is then transferred the signaling to the call processor based on the updated configuration data.

Abstract: Making a target file impratical to be retrieved comprises decrypting a directory manager file using a first directory manager file key. The directory manager file includes an encryption key for a segment that is used when reconstructing a target file. The directory manager file is modified by deleting a reference to the target file. The reference includes a file encryption key. Retrieving the target file is made impractical by the deletion of the reference to the target file in the directory manager file. The modified directory manager file is encrypted using a second directory manager file key.
