Secure active networks

摘要

A secure active network includes a plurality of secure elements which communicate with one another to share and log information such as identification, location, and user activity associated with each secure element. Secure elements exchange data with one another, and log data received. The periodicity of communication between secure elements, encryption of the information, and the operating frequency in which the information is transmitted and received may be changed if communication is lost between any of the secure elements or if a determination is made that a secure element has traveled outside a predetermined zone. The integrity of the secure network may be verified at any time by comparing the logged information to a reference network.

主权项

1. A secure network element, comprising:
a communications module configured to receive location data, indicating a location of a second secure network element, according to a first communications protocol at scheduled communication sessions; and a processor configured to:
compare the location data to a reference location data range at the scheduled communication sessions,change an encryption in response to determining that the location data deviates from the reference location data range, andchange the first communications protocol to a second communications protocol in response to determining that communications have been lost between the secure network element and the second secure network element.
