Abstract
An information apparatus includes circuitry to receive a communication request transmitted from a request source device. The communication request is one of a plaintext communication request and a ciphertext communication request. In response to receiving the plaintext communication request, the circuitry transfers the plaintext communication request for processing. In response to receiving the ciphertext communication request, the circuitry decrypts the ciphertext communication request to obtain another communication request and transfers the another communication request for processing.
Claims12
An information apparatus, comprising
- circuitry configured to
- receive a communication request transmitted from a request source device, the communication request being one of a plaintext communication request and a ciphertext communication request,
- wherein, in response to receiving the plaintext communication request, the circuitry transfers the plaintext communication request for processing, and
- in response to receiving the ciphertext communication request, the circuitry decrypts the ciphertext communication request to obtain another communication request and transfers the another communication request for processing.
A method of processing a communication request, comprising:
- receiving a communication request transmitted from a request source device, the communication request being one of a plaintext communication request and a ciphertext communication request;
- in response to receiving the plaintext communication request, transferring the plaintext communication request for processing;
- and
- in response to receiving the ciphertext communication request, decrypting the ciphertext communication request to obtain another communication request and transferring the another communication request for processing.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a communication request transmitted from a request source device, the communication request being one of a plaintext communication request and a ciphertext communication request;
- in response to receiving the plaintext communication request, transferring the plaintext communication request for processing;
- and
- in response to receiving the ciphertext communication request, decrypting the ciphertext communication request to obtain another communication request and transferring the another communication request for processing.
