Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for recommending design changes in designing a digital integrated circuit. An analysis of the digital integrated circuit being designed is performed, where the result of such an analysis involves violations being identified and stored. A stored violation, such as a cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and multi-cycle violation, may then be analyzed to identify a root cause of the violation using a rule. Such a rule may be used for triaging various failures in the cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and/or multi-cycle violation of the digital integrated circuit. A design change in the design of the digital integrated circuit may then be recommended based on the identified root cause of the violation. In this manner, the root cause of failures are effectively identified in the design of digital integrated circuits using an offline analysis of cross-domain, cross-hierarchy and/or multi-cycle violations using a rules-based approach.

Abstract: Authentication includes receiving an indication of physical possession of a payment card by a merchant and receiving a purchase request for an authorization of an exchange from the payment account of the cardholder to the merchant. Authentication includes assigning a randomized transaction identifier to the request for the authorization of the exchange. The method also includes transmitting the request for the authorization of the exchange from the payment account of the cardholder to the merchant and receiving the assigned randomized transaction identifier and a randomized authentication identifier associated with the randomized transaction identifier from a payment association, the payment association determining whether the request for the authorization of the exchange is valid.

Abstract: Authentication for payment transaction includes receiving, by a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, an indication that a payment account of a cardholder is associated with a mobile device and receiving a second indication of physical possession of a payment card by a merchant. The authentication includes receiving a purchase request for an authorization of exchange from the payment account of the cardholder to the merchant and assigning a transaction identifier to the request for the authorization of the exchange. The authentication includes transmitting the request for authorization of the exchange from the cardholder payment account to the merchant and the transaction identifier. The authentication includes receiving an indication that an authentication identifier is associated with the transaction identifier. The authentication includes receiving a copy of the authentication identifier, facilitated by the cardholder.

Abstract: A method and elastic buffer circuit are provided for implementing low power, single master-slave elastic buffers in a network chip design to provide a continuous stream of data to multiple sinks from multiple sources, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides. An elastic buffer only uses a single master-slave register. The circuit includes a finite state machine, and a latch control block (LCB) to implement the single master-slave elastic buffer removing all ½ cycle paths between buffer locations enabling usage of the single master-slave register.
