Publication number: 20160006706Abstract: An access platform or other network elements can include multiple line cards configured to encrypt data. The platform and/or each of the line cards may receive encryption management data that conforms to a predefined encryption management data interface. The encryption management data received by a particular line card may be generated by a conditional access system device and converted to conform to the encryption management data interface by an encryption manager. Line cards may alternatively be configured for connection to separate encryption hardware components. Line cards may include a block of field programmable gate arrays or other type of programmable hardware that can be configured to execute an encryption module.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2015Publication date: January 7, 2016Inventors: Jorge Daniel Salinger, Kevin Taylor, James William Fahrny

Publication number: 20140289521Abstract: A secure communication system or method are disclosed that may employ a constant level of trust between participants and a security management entity. As part of the constant level of trust, a communication policy may cause participants to request key validation every time the participant wishes to take an action that requires use of a key. In this manner, the participant may regularly communicate with the security management, and this regular communication can be further used to implement key renewal and/or rollover procedures.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Applicant: COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS, LLCInventors: Nancy Davoust, James Fahrny, Kevin Taylor
