Abstract
An apparatus includes a first module configured to communicatively couple a first device to a communication bus. The first module is configured to transmit, over the bus, first data at a first frequency to a second module that is communicatively coupled to a second device; and to transmit, over the bus, second data at a second frequency to a third module that is communicatively coupled to a third device. The bus may be implemented with a standard communication protocol (e.g., MIL-STD-1553). The first module may include transceiver, encoding/decoding, and cryptography circuitry, and allows for both standard-compliant communications to the third device via a primary communication protocol (the bus standard compliant protocol) as well as communications to the second device via a secondary communication protocol (e.g., a proprietary protocol), over the same bus, thus allowing backwards compatibility for the primary protocol and opportunity for secure communications using the secondary protocol.
