Abstract: A method to allow a user to authenticate himself on a server of which he does not know the domain name makes use of an authentication protocol which combines shared secret techniques with asymmetric techniques. A secure remote password can be used for a user (10) to authenticate to a server (12) using his secret password together with the hybrid protocol, SRP. The user (10) then authenticates a server (12) using the hybrid protocol. At the same time, the user signs one of the messages relayed to the server (12) using a public key. This server (12) then issues the user a name certificate, which contains the public key of the subject, the name being conferred on the subject in various administrative fields such as serial number, validity period etc. Subsequently, the user (10) can authenticate himself to the server using the name certificate only using standard PKI techniques.

Abstract: A transonic turbine blade (60). Expansion waves (125) are generated by a
lifting surface (66) on the blade (60). The expansion waves (125) extend
downstream, through a shock (115) generated at the trailing edge (78) of an
adjacent blade (60). The invention increases the strength of the shock (115),
thereby attenuating the expansion waves (125) passing through the shock
(125). One stratagem for increasing the shock (115) is to reduce the
aerodynamic load of the trailing edge (78) generating the shock (115).

Abstract: Pour calculer le résultat d'une exponentiation Bd, où B est une base et d un exposant, qui peut être représenté par un nombre binaire d'une pluralité de bits, une première variable auxiliaire X est d'abord initialisée avec une valeur à partir de 1 (102). Puis, une deuxième variable auxiliaire Y est initialisée avec la base B (102). Ensuite, les bits de l'exposant sont traités de façon séquentielle (104), tandis que la première variable auxiliaire X est mise à jour avec X2 ou une valeur dérivée de X2 et la deuxième variable auxiliaire Y avec X*Y ou une valeur dérivée de X*Y, si un bit de l'exposant est égal à 0 (104a). Si un bit de l'exposant est égal à 1, la première variable auxiliaire X est mise à jour avec X*Y ou une valeur dérivée de X*Y puis la deuxième variable auxiliaire Y est mise à jour avec Y2 ou une valeur dérivée de Y2 (104b). Après le traitement séquentiel de tous les bits de l'exposant, la valeur de la première variable auxiliaire X est utilisée comme résultat de l'exponentiation (106). On obtient ainsi une sécurité élevée en homogénéisant le profil de temps et de puissance. La possibilité d'effectuer un calcul en parallèle permet également un gain de performance.

Abstract: Architecture prévue pour assurer l'accès haute vitesse sur des canaux à multiplexage en fréquence (FDM) et permettre la transmission de trames éthernet et/ou d'autre données dans un réseau de transmission par câble ou autre forme de transmission FDM. L'architecture comprend des techniques de multiplexage FDM aval et amont de façon à obtenir des communications parallèles, contemporaines, dans une pluralité de canaux de fréquence. L'architecture permet, d'autre part, à un concentrateur central de supporter une pluralité de dispositifs à distance qui possèdent chacun une largeur de bande garantie par des attributions orientées connexion des flux de données bidirectionnels. L'attribution de largeur de bande aval et amont peut supporter une largeur de bande symétrique ainsi qu'une largeur de bande asymétrique dans n'importe quelle direction. L'architecture peut être généralement utilisée pour supporter une connectivité de couches physiques orientées connexion entre un dispositif à distance et le concentrateur central. D'autre part, l'architecture peut être intégrée dans d'autres dispositifs de niveau supérieur tels que, mais pas exclusivement, des ponts, des commutateurs, des routeurs et/ou des passerelles. L'architecture peut également être utilisée comme un réseau local tel que les réseaux appelés communément réseaux locaux sans fil. En tant que réseau local, l'architecture supporte une largeur de bande garantie destinée à envoyer des flux de données à une pluralité de dispositifs hôtes. Chaque dispositif hôte pourrait avoir une carte d'interface de réseau qui épouse l'architecture des réalisations préférées de cette invention. En outre, du fait que l'architecture peut coexister pacifiquement avec d'autres services se trouvant généralement dans des réseaux de distribution par câble, ces autres services peuvent aussi être envoyés à un dispositif hôte. Ainsi, un dispositif hôte peut utiliser les réalisations préférées de l'invention pour communiquer des données sur un réseau local sans fil et peut aussi utiliser des canaux vidéo de télévision par câble dans le même support de communication pour acheminer diverses informations multimédia.

Abstract: True bit level decoding of TTCM (Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation) of variable
rates and signal constellations. A decoding approach is presented that allows for
decoding on a bit level basis that allows for discrimination of the individual bits of a
symbol. Whereas prior art approaches typically perform decoding on a symbol level
basis, this decoding approach allows for an improved approach in which the hard
decisions/best estimates may be made individually for each of the individual bits of an
information symbol. In addition, the decoding approach allows for a reduction in the
total number of calculations that need to be performed as well as the total number of
values that need to be stored during the iterative decoding. The bit level decoding
approach is also able to decode a signal whose code rate and/or signal constellation
type (and mapping) may vary on a symbol by symbol basis.
