20100241864AUTHENTICATING AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT BASED ON STORED INFORMATION - Exemplary embodiments provide methods and systems of authenticating an integrated circuit (IC). The manufacturing location of an IC is authenticated by storing in the IC a local signature derived from a GPS signal that was received at the manufacturing location at the time of manufacture. A remote signature is derived from a GPS signal that was received at a remote site nearly simultaneously as the reception of the GPS signal at the manufacturing location. The local signature is compared to the remote signature at an authentication site to determine the authenticity of the IC.09-23-2010
20100283671Receiver with means for ensuring bona fide of received signals - A receiver that receives a plurality of signals that are modulated with a common carrier, where each signal of said signals originates at a different source and experiences a transit delay and Doppler frequency shift before reaching the receiver, and where the transit delay and Doppler frequency shift are related to position and movement of each of the respective sources. The receiver includes means, such as a directional antenna, to ensure that the received signals are bona fide, or at least not subject to the same bogus signal or signals to which a second receiver may be subjected.11-11-2010
20100284441Receiver for GPS-like signals - A module for receiving a plurality of signals that are modulated with a common carrier, where each of the signals includes information that enables a determination of a distance from said receiver to a source that transmits the signal, and outputs to outside the module a digital representation of a downshifted replica of the received signals or, alternatively, outputs a stored and delayed version of the downshifted replica of the received signals together with information about the delay.11-11-2010

20110181470Geosecurity methods and devices using geotags derived from noisy location data from multiple sources - In a geo-security system, a device receives RF signals from multiple distinct classes of RF communication systems and extracts location-dependent signal parameters. A current geotag is computed from the parameters by fuzzy extractors involving quantization of the parameters and Reed-Solomon decoding to provide a reproducible unique geotag. The current geotag is compared with a stored geotag, and a geo-secured function of the device is executed based on the result of the comparison. The use of multiple signal sources of different types, combined with special fuzzy extractors provides a robust geotag that allows both lower false rejection rate and lower false acceptance rate.07-28-2011
20120032841Arrangement With Means for Ensuring Bona Fide of Received Signals - An arrangement including a receiver that receives a plurality of signals from different source that are modulated with a common carrier, where each signal of the signals experiences a transit delay and Doppler frequency shift before reaching the receiver. The receiver includes means, such as a directional antenna, to ensure that the received signals are bona fide, or at least not subject to the same bogus signal or signals to which a second receiver may be subjected. The arrangement further includes means for processing a signal derived from the signals received by the receiver with signals provided by a supplicant module to reach a conclusion about the bona fide of the signals provided by the supplicant module.02-09-2012
