For financial transactions requiring PIN verification, the customer can now select his or her own number at the time of applying for the financial transaction instrument or account. The customer enters the PIN which is then encrypted using a transaction unique encryption scheme. The customer then re-enters the PIN which is once again encrypted using a transaction unique encryption scheme. As a result, two blocks of data are created for the same PIN, yet the encrypted values of the blocks are different. These blocks are provided to a central security system which can reverse the encryption process to a point at which it can generate an offset based on the received blocks. If the PINs were identically entered, the offsets will be equal, otherwise the offsets will not be equal. Thus, this technique allows a customer to select and enter his or her own PIN code, and have the PIN code entry verified by the system without the system actually knowing the value of the PIN code.

A system and method of frame protocol classification and processing in a system for data processing (e.g., switching or routing data packets or frames). The present invention includes analyzing a portion of the frame according to predetermined tests, then storing key characteristics of the packet for use in subsequent processing of the frame. The key characteristics for the frame (or input information unit) include the type of layer 3 protocol used in the frame, the layer 2 encapsulation technique, the starting instruction address, flags indicating whether the frame uses a virtual local area network, and the identity of the data flow to which the frame belongs. Much of the analysis is preferably done using hardware so that it can be completed quickly and in a uniform time period. The stored characteristics of the frame are then used by the network processing complex in its processing of the frame. The processor is preconditioned with a starting instruction address and the location of the beginning of the layer 3 header as well as flags for the type of frame. That is, the instruction address or code entry point is used by the processor to start processing for a frame at the right place, based on the type of frame. Additional instruction addresses can be stacked and used sequentially at branches to avoid additional tests and branching instructions. Additionally, frames comprising a data flow can be processed and forwarded in the same order in which they are received.

A cyclic reduced Gray code in n-many bits having 2k-many entries, for any natural number k, where 2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾<2k<2ⁿ and n is a positive integer, is found by first constructing a 2ⁿ-many entry code in n-many bits with a reflected binary technique, and then selecting the last k-many ordered entries in the first half of the full reflected binary code, followed by the first k-many ordered entries in the second half of the full reflected binary code. These ordered 2k-many entries are a shortened cyclic reduced Gray code in n-many bits. Alternatively, the first k-many ordered entries in the first half of the full reflected binary code can be selected, followed by the last k-many ordered entries in the second half of the full reflected binary code. If either the original or reduced Gray code is expressed as a table whose columns are bit positions and whose rows are the code entries, then entire columns can optionally be interchanged at will, either before or after the 2k-many selection, to produce additional different cyclic reduced Gray codes that do not outwardly appear to be ‘reflected’ ones.

Disclosed is a selective telephone call blocker, preferably with timer. The user preferably sets the current time and one or more beginning and ending time periods during which the call block feature is active. The user then selects, one or more codes, such as two letter or number code(s). During the period of time in which the call block feature is active the device will automatically ask the caller to enter the code in order for the call to be completed. If the correct code is entered within a preset time period the call will be transmitted to the telephone or answering machine. If an incorrect code or no code is entered, the invention preferably repeats the request for correct code entry. If within a next preset time period the correct code is not entered the call will be disconnected. Preferably, the call block feature is not operational if the receiving phone is in use. In this case, the calling party will get a busy signal if the receiving party does not have a call waiting feature. If the receiving party does have a call waiting feature, then it is the option of the receiving party to acknowledge the receipt of the telephone call. The device is compatible with existing telephone devices and can be connected between the standard telephone wall outlet and a telephone set with or without an answering machine. Alternatively, the blocker can be connected at the portion of the phone line before the phone line diverges into multiple lines.
