Latest Patents
One of Slodki's latest patents is titled "Authenticated channel for encryption management." This invention provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for managing encryption in a network. A local modem is managed by a local control processor (CP) via a local authenticated channel. The local authenticated channel is established between the local modem and a first CP using runtime authentication material. When the first CP is removed or becomes inoperative, the local modem detects an authentication failure associated with the local authenticated channel. The local modem can communicate an alarm message via a trusted channel to a remote modem. In response to the alarm message, the local modem can receive a reauthentication command via the trusted channel. This command is configured to cause the local modem to establish a new local authenticated channel with a second CP.
Another significant patent is "Automatic configuration of network devices in a cluster based on physical deployment." This method includes automatically detecting an association between members based on their relationship to one another. It also involves sharing topology and cluster information between the members and determining roles for each member based on the topology and cluster information and rules. The roles are used to automatically provision at least one resource on each member without user intervention.
