    Abstract: Using various embodiments, methods and systems for secure Bluetooth Low Energy communications, in an unconnected state, are described herein. In one embodiment, conventional BLE transmitting device data can be supplemented with authentication information, including a message authentication field which enables receivers to determine if the received beacon/transmitted BLE peripheral data is genuine. In another embodiment, the authentication data can also include a time varying value field in order to prevent unintentional acceptance of transmitting device data from unauthorized replicated BLE peripherals. In one embodiment, the transmitting device computes an authentication tag using at least a secret key known to the receiving device and transmits the authentication tag to the receiving device. The receiving device can compute an authentication value using the secret key and other transmitting device information and determine if the transmitting device data is genuine by comparing the computed authentication value and the received the authentication tag.

    Abstract: A system and method for transmitting digital information through a medium such as atmospheric free-space includes a transmitter which generates a signal based on a basis set of mutually orthogonal, spectrally-shaped, sequences of substantially equal length and having predetermined autocorrelation values. The sequences may resemble noise in at least some of their characteristics. The orthogonality or cross-correlation characteristics, the autocorrelation characteristics and the resemblance to noise are due to features derived from sequences of pseudo-random numbers which themselves resemble noise in at least some of their characteristics. The waveform set based on the sequences is modulated digitally. The modulated set may be summed together along with a wideband reference signal of reduced amplitude and optionally an FM analog signal to form a composite signal which is broadcast typically through free space to at least one receiver. The receiver separates the analog FM signal from the digital signal and thereafter demodulates the digital data-carrying waveforms and outputs a stream of digital data. It has been determined to be resistant to multipath degradation.
