Abstract
A network interface device is provided in a first device. The network interface device comprises an interface configured to receive a first input from a network. The network interface device also has at least one processor configured to provide an output in dependence on contents of the first input and provenance information which uniquely identifies the network interface device, the output being output via the interface to the network.
Claims26
A network interface device in a first device, said network interface device comprising:
- an interface configured to receive a first input from a network;
- and
- at least one processor configured to provide an output in dependence on contents of said first input and provenance information which uniquely identifies the network interface device, said output being output via said interface to said network.
A system comprising:
- at least one data store configured to store at least a part of outputs from a plurality of different network interface devices, said outputs comprising provenance information associated with the respective different network interface devices;
- and
- at least one processor configured to analyze said provenance information.
A method comprising:
- receiving a first input from a network at an interface of a network interface device in a first device;
- and
- providing an output to said network via said interface in dependence on contents of said first input and provenance information which uniquely identifies the network interface device.
