COMMUNICATION DEVICE, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER-READABLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND METHOD PERFORMED BY COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18474338 titled 'COMMUNICATION DEVICE, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING COMPUTER-READABLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND METHOD PERFORMED BY COMMUNICATION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a communication device that can receive countermeasure information from a server to address vulnerabilities and execute the necessary countermeasures accordingly.
- The communication device receives countermeasure information from a server.
- It executes the received countermeasure to address a vulnerability.
- If a new countermeasure is received while the first one is being executed, it disables the first countermeasure and executes the new one.
Potential Applications
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various industries where cybersecurity is crucial, such as telecommunications, IoT devices, and network security.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in proactively addressing vulnerabilities in communication devices by receiving and implementing countermeasures from a central server, thus enhancing the overall security of the devices.
Benefits
- Improved security for communication devices - Efficient handling of vulnerabilities through automated countermeasure execution - Centralized management of countermeasures for multiple devices
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Communication Device Security with Centralized Countermeasures" could be a suitable title for this section. The technology could be utilized by companies offering cybersecurity solutions, device manufacturers, and network service providers to enhance the security of their products and services.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing technologies or methods that involve receiving and implementing countermeasures for vulnerabilities in communication devices, but specific prior art is not provided in this context.
Unanswered Questions
How does the communication device ensure the authenticity and integrity of the countermeasure information received from the server?
The patent application does not detail the mechanisms or protocols used to verify the legitimacy of the countermeasure information received from the server.
What happens if the communication device encounters an error while executing a countermeasure?
The abstract does not mention how the device handles errors or failures during the execution of countermeasures.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication device may: receive, from a server, first countermeasure information corresponding to a first countermeasure for a first vulnerability of the communication device; in a case where the first countermeasure information is received from the server, execute the first countermeasure; in a situation where the communication device is executing the first countermeasure, receive, from the server, second countermeasure information corresponding to a second countermeasure for the first vulnerability; in a case where the second countermeasure information is received from the server, disable the first countermeasure; and in the case where the second countermeasure information is received from the server, execute the second countermeasure.
