This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18894919 titled 'SYSTEM FOR ACCESS CONTROL
Original Abstract Submitted
systems, computer program products, and methods are described for an endpoint device configured for secure data transmission within a network. An example endpoint device may include a network interface configured to receive a communication request from a peer endpoint device, and an access control unit configured to determine whether a peer endpoint device is IDE qualified based on the communication request. If the peer endpoint device is IDE qualified, the access control unit authorizes the communication request, allowing secure communication between the devices. If the peer endpoint device is not IDE qualified, the access control unit transmits the communication request to a root port for further authorization, verifying that only IDE-qualified devices are permitted to communicate directly.
