20130067180 | RETAINING VERIFIABILITY OF EXTRACTED DATA FROM SIGNED ARCHIVES - The objects of an archive may be verified with a cryptographic signature stored in the archive. However, when an object is extracted, the authentication involves re-authenticating the entire archive, re-extracting the object, and comparing the extracted object with the current object, which is inefficient or unachievable if the archive is unavailable. Instead, the archive may include a block map signed with the signature and comprising hashcodes for respective blocks of the objects of the archive. When an object is extracted, the signature and block map may also be extracted and stored as objects outside of the archive. The extracted signature and block map may later be verified by authenticating the signature, verifying the block map with the signature, and matching the hashcodes of the block map with those of the blocks of the extracted objects, thus enabling a more efficient and portable verification of extracted object with extracted authentication credentials. | 03-14-2013 |
20130067587 | PROTECTING ARCHIVE STRUCTURE WITH DIRECTORY VERIFIERS - An archive of an object set may include various security features that enable a detection of alterations of the contents of the objects. However, the security measures of an archive may fail to detect an inadvertent or intentional alteration of the structure of the object set, including the addition of new objects, changes to the metadata (e.g., the name, position within the object set, and location and size within the archive) of respective objects of the object set, and the deletion of directory entries for the objects. Therefore, an archive may be generated with verifiers (e.g., hashcodes) calculated not only for the contents of objects, but for the directory of the archive, and may be included in the signature of the archive. This verification may extend the detecting of alteration of the archive to include the structure of the archive as well as the contents of the objects contained therein. | 03-14-2013 |

20120257891 | Traffic Switching In Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) Network - Embodiments enable an Ethernet over Coaxial (EoC) Coaxial Media Converter (CMC) that implements only a subset of the functions (e.g., MAC and PHY) of a cable modem termination system (CMTS). The CMC sits between an optical line terminal (OLT) and a plurality of cable modems (CMs) that it serves. From the network management side at the OLT, the CMC appears and can be managed like an optical network unit (ONU). From the subscriber side, the CMC provides the same connectivity functions to the CMs as a CMTS and serves to terminate coaxial connections from the CMs. | 10-11-2012 |
20120257893 | Unified Network Management of Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) Network - Embodiments enable a network operator to use any (and a single) network management system (NMS) that it desires to manage a network having mixed fiber to the home optical network units (ONUs) and coaxial connected cable modems. For example, embodiments enable a cable company operator to use a DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) NMS (which the cable company already uses to manage its DOCSIS network) to manage such mixed network, by a simple addition of a DOCSIS Mediation Layer (DML) module between the NMS and the optical line terminal (OLT). On the other hand, embodiments enable a telephone company operator to use a standard EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) OLT NMS with minor OLT and OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) protocol modifications to manage the same mixed network. | 10-11-2012 |
20140093239 | OLT MAC MODULE FOR EFFICIENTLY PROCESSING OAM FRAMES - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide efficient solutions for detecting and transmitting heartbeat frames at an optical line terminal (OLT) of an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON). The processing burden of a host CPU is reduced by shifting some of the processing responsibilities of the host CPU to an embedded CPU. An OAM capture FIFO buffer stores frames for later processing by the embedded CPU, and fields of an OAM vector register are changed whenever a heartbeat frame is detected for an LLID. Embedded CPU polls the OAM vector at a predetermined rate sufficient to maintain link status, so heartbeat messages are not missed even when the OAM capture FIFO buffer overflows. Additionally, an OAM generation buffer efficiently creates new heartbeat messages to be sent to ONUs for each supported LLID by modifying previously transmitted OAM frames with new information specific to the LLIDs. | 04-03-2014 |
