Secure remote controls package for semi-autonomous systems

A secure system for sending and receiving command signals that control semiautonomous critical systems and infrastructure, the system comprising:

• a plurality of operator stations wherein each operator station is configured to encrypt and transmit a command signal by
• translating the command signal from a first format to a second format,
• translating a timestamp from a first format to a second format,
• embedding the translated timestamp into the translated command signal,
• encrypting, with a first cryptographic algorithm, the embedded command signal into a first binary sequence,
• convoluting the first binary sequence within an image file,
• encrypting, with a second cryptographic algorithm, the image file into a second binary sequence, and
• sending the second binary sequence over a communication link;
• a plurality of field receivers wherein each field receiver configured to receive and decrypt the command signal by
• receiving a signal containing the command signal over the communication link, wherein the communication link is established by the operator station and the field receiver,
• decrypting, with the second cryptographic algorithm, the received signal,
• deconvoluting the decrypted signal from an image file to retrieve an embedded data including the command signal,
• decrypting, with the first cryptographic algorithm, the embedded data, and
• recovering the command signal and timestamp from the decrypted embedded data;
• and
• a data broker configured to
• connect with the plurality of field receivers with a supervised circuit, wherein the supervised circuit comprises a plurality of resistors associated with the plurality of field receivers, a plurality of bus gates associated with the plurality of resistors, and a plurality of redundant communication buses associated with the plurality of bus gates,
• receive a plurality of recovered command signals from the plurality of field receivers, and
• process the plurality of recovered command signals by using a majority rule.
