APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA UNITS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18293264 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA UNITS
The abstract describes an apparatus for processing data units, such as protocol data units, with input and output interfaces and a checking device like a firewall for security checks.
- The apparatus has multiple input interfaces for receiving protocol data units.
- It may also have output interfaces for sending out protocol data units.
- A checking device, like a firewall, is included to inspect received protocol data units for security purposes.
Potential Applications: - Network security systems - Data processing and filtering systems - Communication protocols and data transmission systems
Problems Solved: - Ensuring the security of protocol data units - Efficient processing and filtering of data units - Reliable communication through secure channels
Benefits: - Enhanced security measures for data transmission - Improved efficiency in processing data units - Secure communication networks for sensitive information
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Data Processing Apparatus for Network Security Systems This technology can be used in industries such as cybersecurity, telecommunications, and data management to enhance security measures and ensure reliable data transmission.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the checking device, like a firewall, enhance the security of the protocol data units? - The checking device inspects the received data units for any security threats or vulnerabilities, ensuring that only safe data is processed and transmitted.
2. What are the potential implications of using this apparatus in communication protocols? - By using this apparatus in communication protocols, organizations can establish secure channels for data transmission, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for processing data units, e.g., protocol data units. The apparatus includes a first number of input interfaces for receiving protocol data units and, optionally, a second number of output interfaces for outputting protocol data units, and a checking device, e.g., a firewall device, which is designed to check at least one received protocol data unit, e.g., to subject it to a security check.
