Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for implementing a firewall service on portable devices such as mobile phones, tablets or notebooks, which has changed their security settings depending on the location where they are. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of protecting data flow and control of use of devices and functional applications present in a portable device and configured from their location.

Claims15

Dependent claims

1) System for the protection of data flow and control of applications and use of portable devices configured by location characterized by the fact that it includes a firewall 11 inserted into the basic architecture of such portable device 10, positioning itself between the Data Network interfaces 12 and the CPU 13, and able to:

Identify whether a data packet being sent by the portable device (10) should be forwarded or discarded;
Determine whether a packet that arrives to the portable device (10) should be received or dropped from the location in which it is in accordance with a set of rules and policies defined in their configuration blocks, restrict or permit the use of functional devices (15) embedded in or connected to said portable device (10) and to determine filtering rules of data packets which passes through this portable device (10) so as to apply different settings for different locations.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
