Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the proximity and attraction between a stationary object and a number of moving objects are provided. First and second location measurement of each of the moving objects are taken and applied to a measurable coordinate system centered around the stationary object. The converted location measurements are transformed into a proximity/attraction value (“PAV”). Where the PAV is less than one, the object is moving away from the stationary object. Where the PAV is greater than one, the object is moving towards the stationary object.

Each of the payload blocks is encrypted by an associated one of the cipher blocks.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing a covert payload of data within a network are provided. A datagram is generated at an origin host comprising the covert payload of data, a more fragments flag indicating that the datagram is part of a larger transmission, a source address for a confederate host, and a destination address for a blind host. The datagram is transmitted from the origin host to the blind host. When no further datagrams are received, the blind host sends an error message with the covert payload of data to the confederate host. This may be repeated across a number of blind and confederate hosts to form a ring.

Abstract: A method for covertly transmitting a packet of data over a network is provided. A datagram for transmission is fragmented. A portion of the data in the datagram is encrypted and stored within a fragment section of the datagram which is not a first fragmented section. Only the fragmented section that contains the encrypted data is transmitted. No other fragment of the fragmented datagram is transmitted such that the lone fragment transmission will appear as error.

Secondary targets known to visit at least one of the identified locations are identified. A message designed to influence the real target is pushed to the secondary targets such that the real target may be influenced through word-of-mouth interaction with the secondary targets and led to believe that a larger phenomenon is occurring.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for non-invasive detection of chemicals within objects. An object comprised of cellulose material is placed inside an examination chamber, which is sealed. A first measurement of the speed of sound waves traveling through the chamber is taken to establish a baseline. The chamber is heated to liberate any stored chemicals within the object and a second measurement is taken. An expected difference is compared to an actual difference in measurements to determine if hidden chemicals are present.

The difference between the first elapsed time and the second elapsed time provides a random value.
