Abstract: A method includes sending, to a compute device and via a private channel, a public key for asymmetric encryption. The method also includes concurrently authenticating the compute device and generating a traffic key for symmetric encryption, based at least in part on the public key. The method further includes sending a message to the compute device, the message being encrypted using the traffic key via the symmetric encryption.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first communication interface communicable with a portion of a first network, a second communication interface communicable with a portion of a second network, and a memory. The apparatus is configured to be disposed between the portion of the first network and the portion of the second network. The portion of the first network and the portion of the second network are not otherwise coupled together. The apparatus is switchable between a first mode and a second mode. During the first mode, the apparatus is transparent to data transmission and is configured to store information representing the transmitted data. During the second mode, the apparatus is configured to block data transmission between the first network and the second network via the apparatus so as to form an enclaved network segment of the portion of the first network.

Abstract: A method and polishing system for planarizing a substrate having one or more materials formed thereon. The method generally includes positioning the substrate in proximity with a polishing pad, dispensing a polishing fluid to the polishing pad, the polishing fluid being subjected to carbonation prior to being dispensed to the polishing pad, and polishing the substrate. The polishing system generally includes a polishing platen having a polishing pad disposed thereon and in proximity to the substrate, a controller configured to cause the polishing pad to contact the substrate, and a polishing fluid delivery system to deliver a polishing fluid to the polishing pad, the polishing fluid delivery system including a carbonation system.
