An authentication system that uses a multi-use long string authentication key to authenticate client device access to protected resources, is presented. The authentication system is based on a shared knowledge of long string authentication key. The authentication key is used as a platform to derive digital signatures for access to protected resources. One or more authentication parameters can be used in combination with the authentication key to derive or validate digital signatures. The one or more authentication parameters can include a key index parameter, a key offset parameter, and a key length parameter. The digital signatures derived from authentication keys can be used to control access to various types of protected resources such as, digital house, a vehicle fob key, a remote garage door opener, a hotel room card key, credit or debit cards magnetic strip or chip, online financial accounts, computer or control systems, or website authentication.

Multi-use long string authentication keys

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for simulating mobile platforms. In one advantageous embodiment, a method is used to performing operations with a virtual aircraft network. A data processing system with the virtual aircraft network is connected to a ground network. The operations are performed with the virtual aircraft network connected to the ground network.

Method and apparatus for simulating aircraft data processing systems

The power supply and cooling provided by existing aircraft system line replaceable units (LRUs) or other devices supports new cards that are installed in previously empty slots or which replace existing original cards and which are not limited in functionality and do not require licensing of any proprietary technology included in the LRU. These new cards can include components such as processors, memory, and/or storage that significantly improve the performance of the LRU, and/or add new functionality&#x2014;all without exceeding the power supply and cooling capability of the LRU. A network and avionics bus interface can be added to a portion of the new card and electrically coupled to the circuitry and electronic components on the new card, so that one or more cables connected to the interface can be connected to externally accessible standard avionics buses and network connectors added to a chassis of the LRU.

Method to use empty slots in onboard aircraft servers and communication devices to install non-proprietary servers and communications interfaces

Methods and systems for transmitting power and digital communication are provided. The method includes communicatively coupling a broadband over power line interface unit to a power conductor of a temporary power cable, communicatively coupling the broadband over power line interface unit to a network access point, electrically coupling the power conductor to a vehicle power receptacle, and transmitting network data between the network and the vehicle, and powering the vehicle simultaneously through the power conductor.

Methods and systems for high speed data communication

A routing system operably links a mobile platform to the Internet. The system includes a ground based communications link manager linkable to the mobile platform. At least one ground based prefix server can communicate with the communications link manager. An initial Internet address is assigned to the mobile platform. A prefix server program communicates the initial destination address of the mobile platform to the communications link manager and to the Internet. During a travel segment of the mobile platform a new destination address can be communicated to the Internet using the prefix server to maintain communication between the mobile platform and the Internet.

Global internet protocol prefix number mobility

A method for synchronizing a time architecture of a mobile network that includes a plurality of network components, each having a time subsystem clock that is updated using a network time protocol (NTP) program. The method includes operating the components in a hierarchical fashion and booting up all the network components such that execution of a NTP sub-program for making small incremental changes to the each component time subsystem clock is delayed. Additionally, the method includes iteratively executing a NTP sub-program for making large changes to each component time system clock until each component time sub-system clock establishes an initial synchronization with a parent component time sub-system clock. Furthermore, the method includes iteratively executing the NTP sub-program for making small incremental changes once initial synchronization is established such that each component time sub-system clock maintains synchronization with the parent component time sub-system clock.

Mobile network time distribution

The present invention relates to an adjustable monocular eye shield for use with telescopes and similar instruments. The invention prevents light from entering the retina of the eye not being used to view an image when installed and properly positioned on a telescope eyepiece or ocular. The invention is normally fitted over an eyepiece's barrel and includes a substantially enclosed optical mask proportioned such to block both the medial and peripheral vision in one of the users' eyes and prevent impinging light from entering the retina of the same eye. The adjustable monocular eye shield is readily adapted to different users' and types of telescopes. It is adjustable for changes in an eyepiece's focal length, the users' interpupillary dimension, telescope position and orientation about the X, Y and Z Cartesian axis, the users' head and eye position, for focus mechanism movement, is provisioned to allow adequate eyepiece relief and can be positioned to avoid interference with other ancillary optical components at or near the telescope's exit pupil position.
