SECURITY OF ADVANCED SHORT-RANGE COMMUNICATION ARCHITECTURES

Modulated active sensor waveforms are used to transport data, within a system, to a decision-making computer, in an autonomous or semi-autonomous operation environment. Modulation creates distinct waveforms when a multitude of in-band signals are present. The waveform content is shared between the paired transmitter and receiver, validating the data content of the echo. Variable data are the modulation pattern, controlled by a processor within the system, matching patterns tests at the receiver select which data enter the critical autonomous processes. Matched echoes are secured controlled communications. Validation of the system's transmitter modulation, at the receiver, enhances security of autonomous actions for robotic systems on roads and in factories, transportable computers in office and home settings. Secondarily these secured, under-utilized, resources can safely be aggregated and repurposed without risk to their primary functions once secure communications are established.
