A data integrity verification method and system based on a root random number to ensure secure distributed data storage on a public cloud. A new root random number can be generated in response to receiving a file for storage to the public cloud. A unique random number tag for each data chunk associated with the file can be calculated via a shift operation and the tag can be added to the data chunk. A hash function (message digests) can be then generated and concatenated with the data chunk and the random number tag. The data chunk in conjunction with the hash and the random number tag can be encrypted by an encryption module and stored to the public cloud in order to provide multiple levels of security with respect to the distributed public cloud storage. Upon file retrieval, the encryption module decrypts all data chunks and recalculates the hash in order to verify the data integrity of the file.

A method and device to acquire navigational satellite signals combines non-coherent and coherent integrations and can efficiently acquire both strong and weak signals. Successive steps eliminate lower powered and less likely combinations of code offsets and carrier frequencies or dwells of a given satellite signal. Only remaining dwells then are correlated and integrated over larger time duration to obtain the most probable dwell or dwells, which results in reduced computational load. The selection of most likely dwells is based on Parseval's theorem on equivalence of power in time and frequency domains. An optimal estimator algorithm efficiently estimates the probable navigation data bits embedded in the received signal. In case of an ambiguity due to several possible dwells, the steps are repeated with a new set of signal samples.

A data representation is deployed that comprises instances of a software object implementing a particular systematic trading strategy; there are multiple such instances (‘strategy instances’), each corresponding to a different trading strategy, with a strategy instance being paired with a tradable instrument. The method comprises the steps of: (a) each strategy instance providing an estimate of its returns; (b) using Bayesian inference to assess predefined characteristics of each estimate; (c) allocating capital to specific strategy instance / instrument pairings depending on the estimated returns and the associated characteristics. The object based representation is both flexible and powerful; because it directly supports a Bayesian inference, it is functionally better than known approaches because it allows characteristics, such as the reliability of the return estimates to be quantified and modelled and the accuracy of the return estimates to be improved.
