Abstract: A device includes a transmitter coupled to a communication network, a first controller coupled to the transmitter via a control channel, and control logic coupled to the first controller and the transmitter, the control logic to: determine whether the first controller is synchronized with a respective controller of a second device; cause the transmitter to transmit a first number of communications based on a first encryption key in response to a determination that the first controller is synchronized with the respective controller; determine whether the first number of communications satisfies a first threshold condition based on a first encryption interval corresponding to the first encryption key; and cause the transmitter to transmit a second number of communications based on a second encryption key in response to a determination that the first number of communications satisfies the first threshold condition.

Abstract: A hardware compression architecture including a shift register including: a plurality of sequentially coupled stages and a window stage coupled at an output end of the shift register, the shift register configured to receive an uncompressed data stream at an input end and output the uncompressed data from the window stage; a plurality of comparators each coupled to receive a data value held in a corresponding stage of the shift register and a data value held in the window stage, each of the comparators being configured to output a comparison result indicating whether the received stage value and the window stage data value match; logic, coupled to the comparators to receive the comparison results, to selectively compute one or more indexes based on the comparisons; and an encoder coupled to receive the one or more indexes and output, based on the one or more indexes, a position of a matching data value and a length of a matching sequence of data values.
