Abstract
A network-communication method includes detecting network activity between a local area network and a wide area network, decoding the network activity, responsive to the decoding step, obtaining at least a source network address, and using the source network address to establish a transparent networking bridge between the local area network and the wide area network.
Claims35
A network-communication method comprising:
- detecting network activity between a local area network and a wide area network;
- decoding the network activity;
- responsive to the decoding step, obtaining at least a source network address;
- and
- using the source network address to establish a transparent networking bridge between the local area network and the wide area network.
The network-communication method of claim 13, wherein the data includes information about a client, application, and user.
A data-traffic security method comprising:
- receiving a transmission-control-protocol (TCP) synchronize (SYN) data packet;
- wherein a tag of a TCP header of the TCP SYN data packet includes information about at least one of a client, application, connection, and user;
- and
- evaluating the information to determine whether security measures should be undertaken.
An article of manufacture for network communication, the article of manufacture comprising:
- at least one computer readable medium;
- processor instructions contained on the at least one computer readable medium, the processor instructions configured to be readable from the at least one computer readable medium by at least one processor and thereby cause the at least one processor to operate as to::
- detect network activity between a local area network and a wide area network;
- decode the network activity;
- responsive to the decoding step, obtain at least a source network address;
- and
- use the source network address to establish a transparent networking bridge between the local area network and the wide area network.
An article of manufacture for data-traffic security, the article of manufacture comprising:
- at least one computer readable medium;
- processor instructions contained on the at least one computer readable medium, the processor instructions configured to be readable from the at least one computer readable medium by at least one processor and thereby cause the at least one processor to operate as to:
- receive a transmission-control-protocol (TCP) synchronize (SYN) data packet;
- wherein a tag of a TCP header of the TCP SYN data packet includes information about at least one of a client, application, connection, and user;
- and
- evaluate the information to determine whether security measures should be undertaken.
A service-delivery system comprising:
- a computer layer adapted to provide local protection of data on at least one client on the computer layer;
- a device layer interoperably connected to the computer layer and adapted to protect the at least one client against at least one threat;
- a web service layer interoperably connected to the device layer and adapted manage network security for the at least one client;
- and
- wherein the computer layer is adapted to communicate on at least a periodic basis with the device layer and the web services layer.
