Abstract: A cable having a first connector electrically coupled to the first end of the cable, where the first connector includes a first energy storage device and a first cryptography processor, and a second connector electrically coupled to the second end of the cable. The second connector includes a second energy storage device and a second cryptography processor. The first energy storage device is configured to power the first cryptography processor for encrypting transmission data transmitted through the first connector over the cable to the second connector, and for decrypting reception data received by the first connector over the cable from the second connector. The second energy storage device is configured to power the second cryptography processor for encrypting transmission data transmitted through the second connector over the cable to the first connector, and for decrypting reception data received by the second connector over the cable from the first connector.

Abstract: The disclosed system and method pertain to intrusion detection in network environments. The method involves deploying multiple agents in distinct network segments, each equipped with a reinforcement learning algorithm. These agents observe their localized environment, generate hidden states, and calculate attention weights to form an aggregated state. Based on this aggregated state and their hidden state, agents make decisions on potential attacks and generate request vectors for information from other agents. Agents communicate these vectors, receive hidden states from other agents, update their aggregated states, and refine their decisions. Action vectors are formed based on these decisions and request vectors and compiled into a global action matrix. Agents use outcomes and feedback to refine their internal models, enhancing future detection and communication actions.

Abstract: A method and system for generating and verifying a digital signature, the method and system comprising sharing, between a signing node and a verifying node, a message in which the signing node is to issue a digital signature, performing, by the signing node, a first number of operations to generate the digital signature featuring a redundancy, generating, by the signing node, a shortened digital signature. The transforming of the digital signature to the shortened digital signature includes omitting the redundancy, transmitting, by the signing node to the verifying node, the shortened digital signature. The verifying node is configured to perform a second number of operations to recover the redundancy and generate the digital signature from the shortened digital signature, and verifying, by the verifying node, the digital signature with respect to the message.
