Abstract
A communication apparatus that is connected to an information processing apparatus is provided. The communication apparatus includes: an information processing apparatus discovery unit configured to discover the information processing apparatus; a secure communication packet conversion unit configured to convert a non-secure communication packet transmitted by the discovered information processing apparatus into a secure communication packet; and a non-secure communication packet conversion unit configured to convert the secure communication packet destined for the information processing apparatus into the non-secure communication packet.
Claims18
A communication apparatus that is connected to an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an information processing apparatus discovery unit configured to discover the information processing apparatus;
- a secure communication packet conversion unit configured to convert a non-secure communication packet transmitted by the discovered information processing apparatus into a secure communication packet;
- and
- a non-secure communication packet conversion unit configured to convert the secure communication packet destined for the information processing apparatus into the non-secure communication packet.
A communication method in a communication apparatus that is connected to an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an information processing apparatus discovery step of discovering the information processing apparatus;
- a secure communication packet conversion step of converting a non-secure communication packet transmitted by the discovered information processing apparatus into a secure communication packet;
- and
- a non-secure communication packet conversion step of converting the secure communication packet destined for the information processing apparatus into the non-secure communication packet.
A program for causing a communication apparatus that is connected to an information processing apparatus to provide secure communication to the information processing apparatus, the program comprising:
- an information processing apparatus discovery program code unit configured to discover the information processing apparatus;
- a secure communication packet conversion program code unit configured to convert a non-secure communication packet transmitted by the discovered information processing apparatus into a secure communication packet;
- and
- a non-secure communication packet conversion program code unit configured to convert the secure communication packet destined for the information processing apparatus into the non-secure communication packet.
A computer readable recording medium storing a program for causing a communication apparatus that is connected to an information processing apparatus to provide secure communication to the information processing apparatus, the program comprising:
- an information processing apparatus discovery program code unit configured to discover the information processing apparatus;
- a secure communication packet conversion program code unit configured to convert a non-secure communication packet transmitted by the discovered information processing apparatus into a secure communication packet;
- and
- a non-secure communication packet conversion program code unit configured to convert the secure communication packet destined for the information processing apparatus into the non-secure communication packet.
