    Abstract: Embodiments for a method for enhancing communication for one or more unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are also disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a first communication enhancement module of a first UAV, a STANAG 4586 message from an upstream module. The STANAG 4586 message indicates a MUCS as its destination. A multi-hop path to the MUCS via at least one other communication enhancement module is identified. It is determined whether a point-to-point wireless link or the multi-hop route is a better path to the MUCS. If a point-to-point wireless link is a better path, the message is sent over the point-to-point wireless link to the MUCS. If the multi-hop route is a better path, the message is modified to create a modified message having a format corresponding to the communication enhancement modules. The modified message is then sent to the other communication enhancement module(s) on the multi-hop path.

    Abstract: A method of generating a path for a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes receiving information indicating a location of each of a plurality of communication nodes. The vehicle is configured to send wireless signals to and receive wireless signals from the plurality of communication nodes. A path of motion for the vehicle is determined based on coverage of the plurality of communication nodes along the path. Coverage corresponds to connectivity between the vehicle and the plurality of communication nodes.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprising a computing device, which provides Efficient Data-In-Transit Protection Techniques for Handheld Devices (EDITH) to protect data-in-transit. An end user device (EUD) may generate a multicast data packet. The EDITH module of the EUD encapsulates the data packet in a GRE packet and directs the GRE packet to a unicast destination address of an EDITH Multicast Router included in an infrastructure. The EDITH module on the EUD double compresses and double encrypts the GRE packet. The EDITH module on the infrastructure decrypts and decompresses the double compressed and double encrypted GRE packet to recreate the GRE packet. The EDITH module on the infrastructure decapsulates the GRE packet to derive the original multicast data packet, and distributes the original multicast data packet to the multiple group member based on the multicast destination address included in the original multicast data packet.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a cloud data synchronization system enabling an user operating a mobile client device to download mission-specific data sets from a fixed cloud-based server system to a database of the mobile client device, and then use the downloaded data sets independently on the mobile client device when the mobile client device is disconnected from a network connecting to the fixed cloud-based server system. When connectivity to the fixed cloud-based server system is re-established by the mobile client device in an intermittent and bandwidth-limited communication network environment, the fixed cloud-based server system may provide bi-directional data synchronization between records of the fixed cloud-based server system and the mobile client device to update the data sets on the fixed cloud-based server system and the mobile client device while operating in the intermittent and bandwidth-limited communication network environment.

    Abstract: Embodiments for a computer readable medium including a software module are provided. The software module causes one or more processing devices to obtain a biometric identifier from a user. Access to a resource is requested by providing a software credential token and the biometric identifier. The software credential token corresponds to a hardware credential token, and the hardware credential token is one of a set of hardware credential tokens that are used to access the resource. An indication that access to the resource has been granted is received and after receiving the indication an indication that the access to the resource has been revoked is received. After receiving the indication that access to the resource has been revoked, a biometric identifier is re-obtained from a user and access to the resource is re-requested by providing a software credential token and the re-obtained biometric identifier.

    Abstract: Embodiments for a method of implementing multiple domains in a network switching device are disclosed. The method includes assigning a plurality of hardware ports to a plurality of domains. Ports are assigned to at least two of the plurality of domains, and none of the ports are concurrently assigned to multiple domains. The method also includes loading rules for forwarding packets between the plurality of ports into a data plane. The rules direct the data plane to forward only between ports in a common domain of the plurality of domains. The method also includes assuring that a packet received at any port assigned to a first domain is not sent in legible form from any port assigned to a second domain if an error causes the data plane to forward or request forwarding the packet to any port assigned to a second domain.

    Abstract: A method of embedding information in a packet with low overhead is provided. The method includes receiving an IP packet at a first networking device and translating it into an intermediary packet having a non-IP header and a data field. Translating includes copying at least the transport layer data field into the data field of the intermediary packet, compressing the IP header, and embedding out-of-band data into the non-IP header of the intermediary packet. The intermediary packet is sent to second networking device. At the second networking device the intermediary packet is translated into a re-created IP packet. The re-created IP packet is sent toward a destination of the original IP packet.

    Abstract: A method of routing an Internet Protocol (IP) packet from a routing device is provided. The method includes receiving a first IP packet having a first IP header and a first IP data field, the first IP packet having a final destination corresponding to a destination device communicatively coupled to the routing device via a network route including at least two hops between the routing device and the final destination. A second IP packet having a second IP header and a second IP data field is generated. The second IP data field is a copy of the first IP data field, and a destination IP address field in the second IP header includes an IP address of a next hop on the network route. The second IP packet does not include an IP address of the final destination in the second IP header.
