Abstract: A method for pervasive resource identification includes receiving an authentication request from a first application service. The authentication request requests authentication of a user of a user device. The method includes obtaining device information associated with the user device of the user and generating a unique opaque identifier for the user device based on the device information. The method includes obtaining authentication credentials from the user device. The authentication credentials verify an identity of the user. In response to receiving the authentication credentials from the user device, the method includes generating an authentication token and encoding the unique opaque identifier into the authentication token. The method also includes transmitting the authentication token to the first application service.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thermal solution using a heat exchanger mounted inside an outdoor telecom unit. More specifically, a hardened optical platform includes a base chassis and a lid configured to seal an interior of the base chassis, wherein each of the base chassis and the lid include a plurality of fins. The hardened optical platform also including a vapor chamber in the interior including a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger including a second plurality of fins that are intertwined with a third plurality of fins on the base chassis in the interior.
