A generic multi-stage nested hash unit that provides support for generic, multi-stage nested hashes accelerates a wide range of security algorithms and protocols. The supported security algorithms and protocols include SSL v3 MAC, TLS PRF, and SSL v3 Key Material Generation. The hash unit allows the same code to be used to generate the MAC even when the MAC algorithms are different, for example, for SSL and TLS protocols.

Systems and methods are disclosed for using High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) channel context information to simultaneously process multiple HDLC channels. Preferred embodiments of the present invention enable a single network processing engine to process multiple HDLC channels. The current state of the HDLC channel can be evaluated, stored, and restored, which means that the processing of a channel can be halted, the channel state read and stored, and the state of a different channel written to the processing engine. This allows the engine to begin processing a new channel, and then, at a later stage, restore the state of the original channel and resume processing.

Methods and apparatus for selecting a system for communication with a personal station, such as a cellular telephone or a PCS station, in a roaming area. The personal station transmits a system access message to a default system. When the default system that receives the system access message is a visited system in the roaming area and the personal station is not registered with the visited system, the visited system registers the presence of the personal station in the roaming area with a home system for the personal station. The home system sends a response including a selection indication to the personal station through the visited system. The selection indication contains selection information for controlling selection of a system for communication with the personal station in the roaming area. The personal station selects a system for communication in the roaming area in accordance with the selection information.

In a cellular system configuration, the location of a mobile station is determined from the acquisition of cellular network data pertaining to the mobile station, and the translation of such network data into a corresponding geographical position profile. The cellular system includes a mobile station locator entity for receiving from a mobile switching center the network data such as cell and/or sector ID and trunk group member number. The mobile station locator translates the network data into position information such as geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), resolution (radius), and angle values for sectorized cells.

A message channel optimization method and system enables multi-flow access to the message channel infrastructure within a CPU of a processor-based system. A user (pcode) employs a virtual channel to submit message channel transactions, with the message channel driver processing the transaction “behind the scenes”. The message channel driver thus allows the user to continue processing without having to block other transactions from being processed. Each transaction will be processed, either immediately or at some future time, by the message channel driver. The message channel optimization method and system are useful for tasks involving message channel transactions as well as non-message channel transactions.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for remapping channel data are presented. Multiple successive frames carrying data in timeslots are received. The timeslots are assigned to channels so that data for the channels includes interleaved data. The data from the multiple successive frames for each of a predetermined number of the timeslots are aggregated. The aggregated data is mapped, by timeslot, to produce a timeslot-based map. The aggregated data of the timeslot-based map is remapped to produce a channel-based map in which the data for the channels are grouped together by channel in the order that the data were received.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a processor includes: a first die including at least one processor core to execute instructions and a non-volatile storage to store an identifier to be provisioned into the processor during manufacture; a second die to couple to the first die, the second die including a wireless circuit and a second non-volatile storage; and a wireless interface to couple to the second die to enable wireless communication with a wireless device. The processor may be disabled if the identifier is not stored in the second non-volatile storage. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A system (10) for operating a multiplicity of credit card reader-equipped cellular mobile radiotelephones (CMRs 12) as credit card paystations is disclosed. The CMRs (12) incorporate a remotely programmable unit (RPU 48) which controls credit card operation (1400, 1700) and which controls data communication sessions (188, 1900, 2100) with a credit card (CC) host (26) and a remote programming (RP) host (24). The RPU (48) resides between a conventional control unit (CU 42) and a conventional transmit/receive unit (TRU 62) of a conventional CMR. The RPU (48) monitors messages (1200, 1300) transmitted from the CU (42) and from the TRU (62). The CMR (12) powers up in a locked state (1402), within which a credit card (88) may be read. The credit card is locally validated (1421) at CMR 12. If the validation is successful, the CMR (12) is unlocked so that a call may be placed. Credit card information, called number, call time, call duration, and system identification number (SID) are recorded (1700) in a call record for each call established through the CMR (12). Call records are accumulated within the CMR (12). After each call, accumulated CMR (12) usage is checked (1730) against fraud alert thresholds. When a threshold is exceeded, an external credit card validation is performed (1744). Upon a daily schedule which activates during off-peak hours, the CMR (12) calls the CC host (26) to upload (1830) the accumulated call records.
摘要:
A method and apparatus to control interaction between two multi-threaded processor engines is presented. A first multi-threaded processor engine is configured for connection to a serial link, and performs receive and transmit operations in a first “PHY” mode of operation. A second multi-threaded processor engine is operable to process data received by the first multi-threaded processor over the serial link and to provide the processed data to the first multi-threaded processor engine for transmission over the serial link, when the first multi-threaded processor operates in the PHY mode. Additionally, the first multi-threaded processor engine is configured to execute certain operations, e.g., hardware accelerator operations, at the request of the second multi-threaded processor engine in a second “co-processor” mode of operation.
