Abstract
An access control gateway (E) for controlling access to a first data network (D), which gateway includes filter means for filtering data coming from a second data network. It is characterized in that the filter means are adapted to decide whether to transmit the data to the first network as a function of information contained in the data relating to the processing of the data by active routing systems of the first network.
Claims11
An access control gateway (E) for controlling access to a first data network (D), which gateway includes filter means for filtering data coming from a second data network and is characterized in that said filter means are adapted to decide whether to transmit said data to said first network as a function of information contained in said data and relating to the processing of said data by active routing systems of said first network.
A method of transmitting to a first network, which is a data network, data coming from a second network, which is an access network, via an access control gateway, characterized in that said method includes the following steps:
- reading information contained in said data and relating to processing of said data by active routing systems of said first network, and
- deciding whether to transmit said data as a function of said information.
A transmission method according to the preceding claim, wherein the decision step is preceded by a step of reading a profile database for matching identifiers of the sender of said data and authorization parameters and the decision step is performed as a function of said step of reading the profile database.
