Abstract: A method (200) for evaluating random symbols includes generating random symbols from a chaotic system (210), evaluating an output of the chaotic system by a raw entropy estimator and by a Lyapunov exponent estimator (220) and verifying a plurality of parameters based on the on the outputs of the raw entropy estimator and the Lyapunov exponent estimators (230).

Abstract: A method for processing record requests on an app running on a computing device includes entering user information, identify the records, validating the user, determining if the app is running on a device having a specific functionality, selectively instructing the user to provide verifying information based on the determined device functionality, validating the verifying information and providing the records to the user.

Abstract: A secured auditing system using verified hash algorithms is provided. The system integrates with existing databases (e.g., appointment databases) to receive and store auditable data in a system database. The system generates a hash (i.e., a digital signature) for each piece of auditable data received and stores the hash in the system database and on a decentralized blockchain platform for comparative auditing. The system is not confined to one blockchain platform and can interact with any existing blockchain or distributed ledger technology as it evolves.

Abstract: Bus numbering management for an information handling system, such as a personal computer, is provided by interfacing one or more selectively hidden devices with one or more buses through either a hardware or software implementation. If an inactive bus becomes active, then disabling of a selectively hidden device interfaced with another active bus provides a bus number to the newly active bus. For instance, if a graphics capability is added to a computer system through a PCI bus, a PCI bridge associated with a second PCI bus is disabled so that the PCI bus number for the portion of the second PCI bus between the chipset of the computer system and the PCI bridge is available for use as the PCI bus number for the PCI bus associated with the graphics capability. The PCI bus number for the portion of the second PCI bus between the PCI bridge and existing peripheral devices is available for use for both portions of the second PCI bus.
