Encoding element (100) at least selectively transparent to an infrared or ultraviolet light radiation, incident thereon on a first incidence surface (101), whereinin the volume defined by said encoding element (100)a plurality of areas (104) is provided, previously selected and arranged according to a predefined pattern wherein at least one polarisation characteristic of the optical radiation (200) that is incident thereon is varied, wherein the variation of said polarisation characteristic of said incident radiation is varied according to a localised alteration pattern biunivocally associated to a predefined ciphering key, and wherein said plurality of areas is arranged between said first incidence surface (101) on which said infrared or ultraviolet light radiation is incident in use, and a second output surface (102) of said infrared or ultraviolet light optical radiation.

A system and method for transmitting a digital signal comprising includes a random number generator for generating a pseudorandom code. A scheduler stores a plurality of signal sequences each matching a set of bandwidth-time products and center frequencies with a stored code. The scheduler selects a signal sequence by matching the pseudorandom code with one of the stored codes. The scheduler selects a bandwidth-time product and center frequency based on the selected signal sequence. A baseband processing unit generates the digital signal based on a selected bandwidth-time product and center frequency. A front end processing and beamforming unit broadcasts the digital signal.

In a computer network that has a plurality of nodes, a measure of trustworthiness for a particular node can be updated by other nodes that monitor the particular node's behavior. This includes collecting trustworthiness reports from the other nodes; updating the particular node's trustworthiness level based on the reports; and causing the particular node to route data in the computer network based on its trustworthiness level. The particular node's role in performing at least one of a set of functions is based on a hierarchy of trustworthiness levels, wherein the functions can include monitoring other nodes; sending alerts when anomalous behavior is detected; transmitting a free-antibody software program to a requesting node; updating defensive programs; participating in consensus-based threat analysis with other nodes; identifying threats; tagging suspicious nodes; and performing countermeasures against identified threats.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method related with channel width agile. The method uses a channel generation circuit at a signal transmitting end to generate a channel whose channel width can be changed according to a certain law, and a channel detection circuit at a signal receiving end corresponding thereto to detect the corresponding channel width by the same channel width agile law, thereby achieving the secure reception of the signal. Due to the agility of the channel width, communication security is ensured, and it does not conflict with other technologies (such as frequency hopping), and the channel width can be dynamically allocated. In this way, the advantages of high security, compatibility, and high spectrum utilization can be achieved. Meanwhile, the method realizes the maximum possible optimization of the channel and is very creative.
