  • Publication number: 20150286945
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for making decisions on data objects is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving data objects in a computer, applying a first artificial intelligence method to a data object, and applying a second artificial intelligence method to the results from the application of the first artificial intelligence method.

  • Patent number: 9100361
    Abstract: A routing module in a secure routing and communication architecture to receive and transmit data of varied protocols, convert the data protocols to an internet protocol for routing on a local area network. Components of the input/output module comprise a processor, a cryptomodule, a field programmable gate array, all of which communicate in internet protocol. The routing module has a number of interfaces through which SATCOM protocol, UHF-VHF protocol, digital data protocols, serial data protocols, common data link protocols, push-to-talk data protocols, analog voice and voice internet protocol, and other internet protocol data can be received, routed, and transmitted. Hardware, firmware, and software logic within the components convert analog or other digital data to internet protocol, verify the classification level of data, protect the classification level of the data, encrypt the data for routing through a secure routing system a destination interface.

  • Patent number: 8219799
    Abstract: A secure communication system that includes a communication processor, an internet protocol converter that converts data to and from its original protocol to internet protocol, an encryptor/decryptor to provide additional security for communications that are routed through the secure communication system, and a cryptography module and other logic that identifies the security classification of data and verifies the cryptographic keys of the source, in the communication, and of the destination. An additional security processor may be provided as required by secure communication standards. The secure communication system may also include an a internet router that routes the data through the secure communication system. The communication processor provides real-time control and can change a source or destination, an encryption key, a security level, the protocol of a communication in response to sensor data received from a communicating entity or from command signals from a connected or remote control system.

  • Patent number: 8220038
    Abstract: A method and program product for securely routing communicating data between sources and destinations having various data protocols. Data protocols are converted to internet protocol, if not already in internet protocol, for routing. Cryptographic keys of the source, the message, and the destination are verified. If a source and a destination share the same control system, the communication need not, but may, be encrypted for routing; otherwise, the communication is encrypted for routing on the local area network and then decrypted before transmission to the destination. Some communications require further security processing, such as in a HAIPE for certain SATCOM communications. Also, a method and a program product to initialize the secure routing system by loading cryptographic keys, configuring components of the routing system, and loading preprogrammed communication parameters. The programming dynamically responds and changes routing of a communication depending on what communication parameters change.
