  • Patent number: 9886694
    Abstract: A method for estimating web traffic to a website is disclosed. The method may include obtaining a first set of reporting information from a secured external source that directs traffic to the website. The first set of reporting information may have a corresponding portion of reporting information which is not provided from the secured external source. The method may include obtaining a second set of reporting information from a unsecured external source that directs traffic to the website. The second set of reporting information may be different than the first set of reporting information. The method may also include generating an estimation of the corresponding portion of reporting information which is not provided from the secured external source by correlating the second set of reporting information with the first set of reporting information.

  • Patent number: 8756438
    Abstract: A field configurable device, such as an FPGA, supports secure field configuration without using non-volatile storage for cryptographic keys on the device and without requiring a continuous or ongoing power source to maintain a volatile storage on the device. The approach can be used to secure the configuration data such that it can in general be used on a single or a selected set of devices and/or encryption of the configuration data so that the encrypted configuration data can be exposed without compromising information encoded in the configuration data.
