  • Patent number: 11764969
    Abstract: A key server may establish an initial media access security (MACsec) connectivity association (CA) between a set of devices on a communication network of a power system. The key server may identify a device in the set of devices on the initial CA as a suspect device. The key server may communicate a new connectivity association key (CAK) of an independent CA to one or more other devices in the set of devices to cause the one or more other devices to join an independent CA without the suspect device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023
    Assignee: Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20050038994
    Abstract: Various systems, methods, and programs are provided that facilitate access to a secure application. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes encrypting at least one authentication sequence in a computer system using a network identifier as an encryption key, and storing the encrypted at least one authentication sequence in a memory accessible to the computer system. Next, the encrypted at least one authentication sequence is decrypted using a second network identifier as a decryption key, the second network identifier is procured after storing the encrypted at least one authentication sequence. Thereafter, an expedited login task is performed to access the application with the at least one authentication sequence if the decryption of the at least one authentication sequence is successful.

  • Publication number: 20040057477
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optoelectronic device, a method of manufacture therefor and an optical communications system including the same. In an exemplary embodiment, the optoelectronic device includes a wavelength locking device that comprises a low reflector and optical filter. The optical filter an optical filter is located between the low reflector and an input end of the wavelength locking device. The optical filter and low reflector cooperate to lock an oscillation wavelength of a radiation source to a wavelength substantially determined by the optical filter.
