Abstract: An integrated, modular computer program system provides for the encryption and decryption of files utilizing conventional encryption algorithms and a relational key generated by the system. The computer program system also generates a series of labels that are encrypted and appended as a trailer to the encrypted message. The encrypted labels provide a history behind the particular encryption and they can be individually selected, separated, and decrypted from the total file. A rule based expert system is utilized as an intelligent label selection system to minimize message sensitivity. An access control module permits a user with a preassigned passphrase to have access to the encryption or decryption portion of the program by comparing a generated vector or key with a partially decrypted version of a second vector or key stored on a portable storage medium such as a floppy disk.

Abstract: A proximity detection device for protection of personnel against exposure to hazardous radio frequency radiation. The device works by detecting the presence of people, either the operator or bystanders, who are in the system antenna's radio frequency radiation hazard zone. Upon detection, the device triggers a timer that delays the activation of alarm circuitry for a brief period of time. This time delay is instituted to minimize the triggering of nuisance alarms by a momentary intrusion in the hazard zone. If a presence is still detected after the delay time, pulsing visual and audible alarms are triggered to alert the system operator of the dangerous situation. The alarms remain activated for a timed period, allowing the operator to clear the hazard zone.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for ensuring the security of messages communicated on a network. The system employs different levels of security to ensure that communication integrity is not breached. A user must first enter a valid password to clear the access control subsystem. The sending user must also possess valid cryptographic information and belong to a particular organization and/or be located at a particular device in order to encrypt a plain text message that is to be transmitted over the network. The device and organization information, along with receiving user information specified by the sending user, will then be grouped into a header which will be appended to the outgoing encrypted message. In order to receive a transmitted message, a receiving user must be the particular receiving user and be part of the particular group specified by the sending user, and must be attempting to receive the communication at the device specified in the message header.
