Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hardened voyage data recorder. The data recorder comprises an inner capsule defining an interior cavity containing a data storage means. A thermal mass composition is surrounding the inner capsule, and an isolation material is surrounding the thermal mass composition. An outer capsule is surrounding the isolation material, which outer capsule is closed by a lid, said lid being arranged above and at a distance to the isolation material to thereby define a top cavity between the inside of the outer capsule lid and the isolation material. The top cavity contains a communication circuit board, where electronic communication circuitry is arranged on the communication circuit board. A mounting plate may be arranged above or on top of the isolation material, and the outer capsule lid may be arranged above and at a distance to the mounting plate thereby defining the top cavity between the inside of the outer capsule lid and the mounting plate. The data storage means may comprise a flash memory chip.
Abstract:
A communication controller for performing data encryption and data decryption of data communication packages to be transferred in a network (such as LAN: Local Area Network, or a WAN: Wide Area Network). The data communication package contains a first section of non-encrypted data and a second section of encrypted data. The communication controller comprises a session key LUT unit (186), and a transmission and encryption section, which includes a data read transmission control unit (102), a data compressing unit (118), a data encryption unit (126), an integrity check value calculation unit (122) constituting a first series configuration, a network transmission controller (134), and a first switch means (108) enabling switching between two modes of operation a first mode of operation providing bypassing or disabling of the first series configuration and enabling communication between the data read transmission control unit (102) and the network transmission controller (134) for transferring the input data directly hereto and a second mode of operation enabling communication between the data read transmission control unit (102) through the first series configuration to the network transmission controller (134).
