Patent EP-0845761-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PITCHENIK DAVID E
IPC: G07B17/00
Filed: 1997-11-21
Abstract: A method for verifying that the expected components of a postage
metering system includes alternate embodiments for verifying a PSD
coupled to a host system is the expected PSD. The method further includes
verifying the host system as the expected host system. A first message is
encrypted in the PSD using a first cryptographic key to obtain a first
encrypted message. The first encrypted message is sent to the host system
which decrypts the first encrypted message using a second cryptographic
key. The host system then encrypts a second message derived from the
decrypted first encrypted message using the second cryptographic key. The
host system then sends the encrypted second message to the PSD which
decrypts the second encrypted message in the PSD using the first
cryptographic key. The PSD compares the decrypted second encrypted
message with the first message, and activates the PSD for processing
transactions requested by the host system when the decrypted second
encrypted message corresponds to the first message.

IPC: H04B10/60
Filed: 1997-12-31
Abstract: A bias voltage supply circuit for an optical
receiver includes a high-voltage generation circuit, a
current detection circuit, a reference voltage
generation circuit, and an operational amplifier. The
high-voltage generation circuit supplies a variable bias
voltage to an APD having an amplification function. The
current detection circuit converts an output current,
which is based on the bias voltage supplied from the
high-voltage generation circuit, into a voltage signal.
The reference voltage generation circuit outputs a
constant reference voltage. The operational amplifier
outputs a voltage control signal, corresponding to a
difference between an output voltage from the current
detection circuit and the reference voltage from the
reference voltage generation circuit, to the
high-voltage generation circuit, thereby variably
controlling the bias voltage to be supplied to the
photoelectric converting element. The photoelectric
converting element generates a photocurrent having a
constant amplitude in response to the bias voltage which
is supplied from the high-voltage generation circuit
upon receiving an optical input.

IPC: H04W84/14

Abstract: The network security of a radio local loop system is highly desirable to avoid
fraudulent use of the network by unauthorised users with appropriate subscriber
equipment. For fixed subscribers, the propagation delay between base station (1) and
subscriber unit (3) will also remain fixed and, provided this is measured with
sufficient accuracy, the distance from the subscriber to the base station can be
determined. This can be used as an aid to the authentication of a subscriber. Other
signal characteristics which are indicative of the physical location of a purported
subscriber can be used, such as directional information. In a system in which
propagation delay has to be monitored anyway, for other purposes, such as
orthogonal CDMA code synchronisation, or for a TDM system, added security can
be obtained without great extra cost.
