1. An intelligent and dynamic gateway, comprising:
an input module adapted to receive communications having a payload from plural disparate source paths, protocols, physical spectrums and physical media;
a processor adapted to convert the payload in the received communications from any of the plural disparate source paths, protocols, physical spectrums and physical media to any of plural disparate destination paths, protocols, physical spectrums and physical media;
an output module adapted to transmit converted payload over the plural disparate destination paths, protocols, physical spectrums and physical media; and
an atomic clock synchronization module that synchronizes an atomic clock with a source of external timing information and that provides timing information to devices authenticated with the intelligent and dynamic gateway,
wherein if the external timing information does not conform to at least one of a predetermined waveform, frequency, or standard, the atomic clock synchronization module disconnects from the source of external timing information and independently maintains and provides the timing information to devices authenticated with the intelligent and dynamic gateway, and
wherein at least one of the source or destinations protocols comprises a cryptographic protocol that distributes a computation across multiple parties in accordance with the timing information such that no unauthorized party can see the other parties' data.
