  • Device registration to management domain
    Patent number: 11706621
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein pertains to a method for mobile storage device registration to a management domain using a random token and a pin. In at least one implementation, a technology disclosed herein provides a method of authenticating a device on a system, the method including generating a random token, displaying the random token to a user, communicating the random token to an authentication system portal, in response the authentication system portal validating the random token receiving a PIN from the user, and communicating the PIN to the authentication system portal, and receiving a portal IP address and a certificate of authentication from the authentication system portal.
    Type: Grant

  • Fingerprint and provenance for movable storage devices
    Patent number: 11621857
    Abstract: A method includes importing an object into a first data storage device, obtaining static metadata relating to the object, and obtaining dynamic metadata relating to the importation of the object. The static metadata and the dynamic metadata are hashed to create a block hash for the object and the importation of the object. The imported object and the block hash are stored in the first data storage device.

  • Transmission of ATM cells
    Patent number: 6081530
    Abstract: A system and method of transmitting data cells are disclosed. The system includes a data transmitting and receiving unit including transceiver circuitry, a main backplane interface, and backplane interconnection circuitry. The transceiver circuitry transmits and receive data cells over the data link, the main backplane interface provides physical interconnection to the backplane, and the backplane interconnection circuitry transmits and receives cells. The main backplane interface including at least one cell signal terminal and at least one operations data signal terminal. The operations data signal terminals are separate from the cell signal terminals. The operations data signal terminals and the cell signal terminals are configured to connect to mating connectors on a backplane. Backplane interconnection circuitry couples the transceiver circuitry to the main backplane interface.
