Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing binary messages. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a binary message at a message analyzer system, obtaining one or more rules for the binary message, and analyzing the binary message with the message analyzer system to determine if the rules are satisfied.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a message analyzer system, a binary message;
- obtaining one or more rules for the binary message;
- and
- analyzing the binary message with the message analyzer system to determine if the rules are satisfied.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a transaction gateway, a binary message associated with a point-of-sale transaction;
- transmitting the binary message from the transaction gateway to a message analyzer;
- analyzing the binary message with the message analyzer to determine if one or more rules for the binary message are satisfied;
- and
- creating an analysis report including at least one result of the analysis.
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a message analyzer system, a binary message;
- determining, at the message analyzer system, a message type of the binary message;
- obtaining message definition information associated with the message type;
- parsing, with the message analyzer system, the binary message into one or more message fields using the message definition information;
- obtaining one or more rules, the rules associated with the message type and at least a subset of the rules each associated with a field included in the message type;
- determining, for at least one of the message fields, if a value of the respective message field satisfies at least one of the rules associated with the field;
- and
- generating a report including at least one result of the analysis.
A message analyzer system comprising:
- a communications interface, to receive a binary message and to transmit a message analysis report;
- rule information having one or more rules for the binary message;
- analyzer logic to analyze the binary message to determine if the rules are satisfied;
- and
- report creator logic to create the message analysis report, the message analysis report including at least one result of the analysis.
At least one machine-readable medium, having stored thereon sequences of instructions, which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform the actions of:
- receiving, at a message analyzer system, a binary message;
- obtaining one or more rules for the binary message;
- and
- analyzing the binary message with the message analyzer system to determine if the rules are satisfied.
