Abstract: A fractional sampling-rate converter includes a first-in first-out (FIFO) buffer, a write logic, a read logic and a fractional interpolator. The write logic is designed to write input data samples into the FIFO at a first rate. The fractional interpolator is coupled to receive the input data samples from the FIFO and is designed to generate corresponding interpolated data samples as an output of the fractional sampling-rate converter at a second rate. The read logic is designed to cause input data samples in the FIFO buffer to be transferred to the fractional interpolator. A ratio of the second rate and the first rate is a fractional number greater than one.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing trust between management entities with different authentication mechanisms in a computing system utilizes a token exchange service to acquire a second security token used in a second management entity in exchange for a first security token used in a first management entity. When a request with the second security token is sent from the first management entity to the second management entity, the second security token is validated using a public key from the first management entity at the second management entity. After validation, the request is processed at the second management entity and a response is transmitted to the first management entity.
