The improved AES processing method provides an efficient alternative to both Mips intensive multiplication and to conventional table lookup, used to multiply terms over a Galois field (GF). The improved method takes advantage of the fact that in the GF, any non zero element X can be represented by a power of a primitive element P. The improved method thereby results in a 2 by 256 table. The log base P of the terms being multiplied are looked up and summed, and the anti-log of the sum is looked up in the same table.

Efficient method for multiplication over galois fields

A identity of a remote speaker is verified by receiving compressed audio formants from a remote Internet telephony client and comparing the compressed audio formants with sample compressed audio formants known to represent the person the remote speaker purports to be. The compressed audio formants include energy and pitch data characterizing the residue of the speaker uttering a predetermined pass phrase and a plurality of formant coefficients characterizing the resonance of the speaker.

Speaker verification utilizing compressed audio formants

A method and apparatus for improving burst error correction. The method and apparatus involve transmitting block codes with interleaving, and predicting a burst error in the received block codes. Burst error prediction includes decoding received block codes and determining if the decoding is successful. The method includes receiving a code having an error correction capability, an erasure detection capability and a burst error length associated with it. A decoding step is performed to find an error in the code. The error has a length associated with it. The decoding is successful if the error length found is less than twice the error correction capability. If an initial decode attempt is not successful, then a burst error length is associated with the code and another decode is performed. The burst error length has an initial value that is less than the error correction capability. The burst error length is incremented by a predetermined amount after each unsuccessful decode until the burst error length exceeds twice the error correction capability, at which point the decode is assumed to have failed.
