  • PREVENTING DIGITAL FORGERY
    Publication number: 20200342129
    Abstract: An indication is received to export a file from a host having an authentication device. A memory buffer is allocated for a signature region, a header region, and a content region. A location stamp and a time stamp are calculated for content of the file. The location and time stamps are copied to the header region. An authentication signature is generated using a private key associated with the authentication device. The authentication signature is based on the header and content regions, which include the copied location stamp and timestamp, and content of the file. The authentication signature is copied to the signature region. The memory buffer is written to a new file, the new file being a signed version of the file and including the signature region having the authentication signature, the header region having the location and time stamps, and the content region having the content of the file.

  • Executing graph-based program specifications
    Patent number: 10817310
    Abstract: A graph-based program specification includes components corresponding to tasks and directed links between ports of the components, including: a first type of link configuration defined by respective output and input ports of linked components, and a second type of link configuration defined by respective output and input ports of linked components. A compiler recognizes different types of link configurations and provides in a target program specification occurrences of a target primitive for executing a function for each occurrence of a data element flowing over a link of the second type. A computing node initiates execution of the target program specification, and determines at runtime, for components associated with the occurrences of the target primitive, an order in which instances of tasks corresponding to the components are to be invoked, and/or a computing node on which instances of tasks corresponding to the components are to be executed.

  • Periodic calibration for communication channels by drift tracking
    Patent number: 10819447
    Abstract: A method and system that provides for execution of a first calibration sequence, such as upon initialization of a system, to establish an operation value, which utilizes an algorithm intended to be exhaustive, and executing a second calibration sequence from time to time, to measure drift in the parameter, and to update the operation value in response to the measured drift. The second calibration sequence utilizes less resources of the communication channel than does the first calibration sequence. In one embodiment, the first calibration sequence for measurement and convergence on the operation value utilizes long calibration patterns, such as codes that are greater than 30 bytes, or pseudorandom bit sequences having lengths of 2N?1 bits, where N is equal to or greater than 7, while the second calibration sequence utilizes short calibration patterns, such as fixed codes less than 16 bytes, and for example as short as 2 bytes long.
