Method of securely transmitting a message via a telecommunications network
US 11477169
Issued Oct 18, 2022
A method of securely transmitting a message from a sending entity to a receiving entity via a network. A Processing String Engine is communicatively coupled to the sending and receiving entities. The sending entity requests the Processing String Engine to provide a network routing path for message transmission from the sending entity to the receiving entity and to provide a processing string for the message transmission. The Processing String Engine identifies a network path and generates a processing string. The sending entity appends the processing string to the message and sends the message to the receiving entity. The message is unreadable while the processing string is appended thereto. Upon receipt of the message with the appended processing string, the receiving entity requests removal the processing string. Upon successful verification of the receiving entity, the processing string is removed, and the message is returned to the receiving entity.

Method of Verifying Telecommunications Messaging Traffic Based on Decentralized Identifiers
US109654461
Issued March 30, 2021

System and Methods for Identifying Network Path Performance
United States 8,160,055
Issued April 2012
A pseudowire verification framework gathers and maintains status of individual pseudowires by aggregating the state of the individual node hops defining the pseudowire. The framework provides complete assessment of a network by gathering status feedback from network nodes (forwarding entities) that are inaccessible directly from a requesting node by employing an intermediate forwarding entity as a proxy for inquiring on behalf of the requesting node. Therefore, status regarding inaccessible pseudowires is obtainable indirectly from nodes able to “see” the particular pseudowire. Configurations further assess multihop pseudowires including a plurality of network segments; in which each segment defines a pseudowire hop including forwarding entities along the pseudowire path. In this manner, pseudowire health and status is gathered and interrogated for nodes (forwarding) entities unable to directly query the subject pseudowire via intermediate forwarding entities.
