Various exemplary systems and methods for linking entity references and identifying associations are presented. In particular, a method is provided for linking a plurality of entity references to at least one entity. The method comprises the steps of evaluating a probability of a match between a first entity reference and a second entity reference based at least in part on a statistical significance of one or more field values being common to both the first entity reference and the second entity reference, wherein field value statistical significance is inversely related to a number of field value occurrences occurring in some or all of the plurality of entity references and linking the first entity reference with the second entity reference when the probability is greater than or equal to a match threshold.

Preferably for use in a directory enquires system, the invention provides a method and system for processing user records to determine common entries therebetween. When two user records are determined to store common information then link data is generated (18) and stored in each user record (22) indicating a link between the two records. This link information is then used in subsequent searching (20) of the user records to determine the most likely result from a list of possible results obtained from a search of the user records. In a directory enquiries system (14) the user records contain user ID and telephone number details as well as address book data of each user's friends, family, or other acquaintances. The address book data is used to determine whether a link between user records should be formed.

Mass data (the contents of arrays, large data structures, linked data structures and similar data structures stored in memory) are common targets for attack. The invention presents a method and system of protecting mass data by mapping virtual addresses onto randomly or pseudo-randomly selected actual addresses. This mapping distributes data values throughout the memory so an attacker cannot locate the data he is seeking, or identify patterns which might allow him to obtain information about his target (such as how the software operates, encryption keys, biometric data or passwords stored therein, or algorithms it uses). Additional layers of protection are described, as well as efficient techniques for generating the necessary transforms to perform the invention.

A system and method are disclosed for enhancing the visibility and ensuring the correctness of terrain and navigation information on aircraft displays, such as, for example, continuous, three-dimensional perspective view aircraft displays conformal to the visual environment. More specifically, an aircraft display system is disclosed that includes a processing unit, a navigation system, a database for storing high resolution terrain data, a graphics display generator, and a visual display. One or more independent, higher precision databases with localized position data, such as navigation data or position data is onboard. Also, one or more onboard vision sensor systems associated with the navigation system provides real-time spatial position data for display, and one or more data links is available to receive precision spatial position data from ground-based stations. Essentially, before terrain and navigational objects (e.g., runways) are displayed, a real-time correction and augmentation of the terrain data is performed for those regions that are relevant and / or critical to flight operations, in order to ensure that the correct terrain data is displayed with the highest possible integrity. These corrections and augmentations performed are based upon higher precision, but localized onboard data, such as navigational object data, sensor data, or up-linked data from ground stations. Whenever discrepancies exist, terrain data having a lower integrity can be corrected in real-time using data from a source having higher integrity data. A predictive data loading approach is used, which substantially reduces computational workload and thus enables the processing unit to perform such augmentation and correction operations in real-time.
