| 20110085562 | AGGREGATING PORTS WHILE ALLOWING ACCESS TO SINGLETON PORTS - Disclosed is a method for aggregating parallel data links connecting two end-point devices into a logical link. If one of the parallel data links is a multi-point link, then an end-point device can still access that link to route traffic to an end station on the link (that is, to a device other than the other end-point device of the logical data link). In the terminology of this disclosure, the logical aggregated link is accessed through an “aggregated port” on an end-point device, while the constituent multi-point link is accessed directly through a “singleton port.” By assigning a smaller cost to the aggregated port than to the singleton port, embodiments avoid creating routing loops. In some embodiments, the aggregation is performed at Layer 2 of the Open System Interconnection seven-layer protocol model. Then, the methods of the present invention work well with existing IEEE 802.1 bridging architectures and protocols. | 04-14-2011 |

The method includes processing at a delegate certification authority (DCA) node device authorizations received from of a plurality of certification authorities (CAs) of different organizations, where the authorizations authorize the DCA node device to serve as a DCA representing the CAs (step | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100014422 | Priority-Based Admission Control in a Network with Variable Channel Data Rates - A method for priority-based admission control in a network, comprises receiving an admission request for transmitting an information flow to a network through a communication channel and determining an admissible region within a range of a channel data rate of a communication channel for an information flow in response to a priority of the information flow, where the priority of the information flow is one of a plurality of priorities of information flow. The admissible region is one of a plurality of admissible regions within the channel data rate range that correspond to different ones of the plurality of priorities of information flow, respectively, and each of the plurality of admissible regions within the channel data rate range is useable for transmitting information flow with a respective one of the plurality of priorities. Further included in the method is determining an available channel data rate of the communication channel for receiving the information flow by the network, and granting the admission request for the information flow after determining that the available channel data rate of the communication channel is within the admissible region of the channel data rate range. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100115266 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENABLING A TRUST RELATIONSHIP USING AN UNEXPIRED PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE (PKI) CERTIFICATE - A method and device are useful for enabling a trust relationship using an unexpired public key infrastructure (PKI) certificate, where a current status of the PKI certificate is unavailable. The method includes determining at a relying party that a certificate status update for the PKI certificate is unavailable (step | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100115267 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENABLING A TRUST RELATIONSHIP USING AN EXPIRED PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE (PKI) CERTIFICATE - A method and device are useful for enabling a trust relationship using an expired public key infrastructure (PKI) certificate. The method includes determining at a relying party a maximum permissible grace period during which the PKI certificate can be conditionally granted a valid status (step | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100250922 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROPAGATING TRUST IN AN AD HOC WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method and system enable robust and scalable propagation of trust between a first organization and a second organization, both operating in an ad hoc wireless communication network. The method includes establishing at a first member node of the first organization pair-wise trust with a first member node of the second organization using a predetermined inter-organizational trust establishment device (step | 09-30-2010 |
