Abstract

A system that includes a first device configured to send a set of real world values to a second device using an unsecure channel and to send a correlithm object algorithm and a correlithm object key to the second device using a secure channel. The first device is further configured to input the set of real world values and the correlithm object key into the correlithm object algorithm to generate a sensor table that identifies the set of real world values and a set of correlithm objects corresponding with the set of real world values. The first device is further configured to store the sensor table in a first memory.
