Abstract
Method and apparatus for message routing in a computer system (100) is provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving a message in a compressed or encrypted form (302, 402); extracting a portion of the message in its compressed or encrypted form (304, 404); comparing the portion of the message with samples of message portions in compressed or encrypted form (306, 406); and, if a match is found (308, 408), transmitting the entire message to destinations listed in association with the matched sample (310, 410).
Claims7
A method of message routing in a computer system comprising steps of:
- receiving a message in a compressed or encrypted form;
- extracting a portion of the message in its compressed or encrypted form;
- comparing the portion of the message with samples of message portions in compressed or encrypted form;
- and if a match is found, transmitting the entire message to destinations listed in association with the matched samples;
- subsequently decompressing or decrypting the portion of the message;
- comparing the decompressed or decrypted form of the portion of the message with samples of message portions in uncompressed or unencrypted form;
- and if a match if found, transmitting the entire message to destinations listed in association with the matched sample;
- wherein the step of comparing the decompressed or decrypted form of the portion of the message includes comparing to samples with wildcard or filtering characters.
A computer program stored on a computer readable storage Medium, comprising computer readable program code for performing the steps of:
- receiving a message in a compressed or encrypted form;
- extracting a portion of the message in its compressed or encrypted form;
- comparing the portion of the message with samples of message portions in compressed or encrypted form;
- and if a match is found, transmitting the entire message to destinations listed in association with the matched samples;
- subsequently decompressing or decrypting the portion of the message;
- comparing the decompressed or decrypted form of the portion of the message with samples of message portions in uncompressed or unencrypted form;
- and if a match if found, transmitting the entire message to destinations listed in association with the matched sample;
- wherein the step of comparing the decompressed or decrypted form of the portion of the message includes comparing to samples with wildcard or filtering characters.
