Abstract: A method includes receiving a first message from a client device requesting an establishment of a transmission control protocol connection, wherein the first message contains a first sequence number for the transmission control protocol connection, calculating, based on the first sequence number and a first integer from a list of a plurality of randomly generated integers, a second sequence number for the transmission control protocol connection, sending a second message to the client device in response to the first message, wherein the second message contains the second sequence number, receiving a fourth message containing an acknowledgement number, extracting a second integer from the acknowledgement number, determining whether the fourth message originated with the client device by comparing the second integer to the first integer, and sending a fifth message to the client device, wherein a type of the fifth message is selected based on an outcome of the determining.

Abstract: A memory includes a bit cell array including a plurality of word lines and address decode circuitry having an output to provide a predecode value. The address decode circuitry includes a first plurality of transistors having a first gate oxide thickness. The memory further includes word line driver circuitry having an input coupled to the output of the address decode circuitry and a plurality of outputs, each output coupled to a corresponding word line of the plurality of word lines. The word line driver includes a second plurality of transistors having a second gate oxide thickness greater than the first gate oxide thickness. A method of operating the memory also is provided.
