Method for transmitting high-priority packets in an IP transmission network based upon the Internet Protocol (IP) wherein low-priority packets or fragments of packets are transmitted between a sender and a receiver and at least a high-priority packet can be transmitted from the sender to the receiver by pre-emption of a low-priority packet or a fragment of packet. The method comprises in the sender, the steps of determining whether a low-priority packet or fragment of packet is being transmitted from the sender to the receiver when a high-priority packet has to be transmitted, setting to 1 a reserved bit within the IP header of the high-priority packet used as a pre-emption indicator if a low-priority packet or fragment of packet is currently transmitted, transmitting the high-priority packet with the pre-emption indicator set to 1 from the sender to the receiver, and resuming the transmission of the low-priority packet or fragment of packet at the end of transmission of the high-priority packet.

The present invention is directed to computer viruses and more particularly to a method and system for use in a virus-free certificate firewall, of controlling and filtering files using a virus-free certificate. An example embodiment of the method comprises the steps of: receiving a file; if a virus-free certificate (200) is required for the file: determining whether the a virus-free certificate is already associated with the file; if a virus-free certificate is already associated with the file: authenticating the associated virus-free certificate, said virus-free certificate comprising a certificate signature; if the virus-free certificate is authenticated, determining whether the file is virus-free or not; if the file is virus-free, forwarding the file with the associated virus-free certificate; if the virus-free certificate is not authenticated or if no virus-free, certificate is associated with the file; determining whether the file is virus-free or not, if the file is virus-free, associating with the file a new virus-free certificate; and forwarding the file with the new virus-free certificate.

Provided are an ICMP proxy device, system and method of proxying. The ICMP proxy device includes a receive module, a protection determination module and a response module. The receive module is configured to receive a direct availability request addressed to a server from a host. The protection determination module is configured to determine whether the server is available. The response module configured to respond to the host with an availability response based the determination, such that the availability response is addressed from the server to the host.
摘要:
A method and system as disclosed for use in a virus-free certificate proxy (107, 801), of retrieving from one or a plurality of virus-free certificate authorities (104, 804) a virus-free certificate (200) certifying that a file is virus-free. The method includes the steps of: receiving (1001) virus-free certificate request for a file; selecting a virus-free certificate authority (104, 804) having authority to generate a virus-free certificate (200) for the file; requesting (1003 . . . 1007) the virus-free certificate to the selected virus-free certificate authority (104, 804); receiving (1003 . . . 1007) from the selected virus-free certificate authority the generated virus-free certificate; sending back (1005) in response to the virus-free certificate request the received virus-free certificate.
摘要:
A method and system for enabling interconnection of VPNs is disclosed. An interconnection device manages an interconnection process at one or more facilities including, for example, a gateway device. The gateway device has information relating to a plurality of VPNs, and may facilitate interconnection between devices on at least two of the VPNs by determining that one device is in fact a member of a first one of the VPNs, and by forwarding connection parameters of the first VPN to the second VPN on an as-needed basis. In this way, the gateway allows interconnection without the need for a completely centralized decision-making process, and does so independently of the type of device and/or VPN(s) being used. Moreover, the gateway may implement only those VPN parameters needed by both VPNs to communicate with one another with a desired level of security, thereby simplifying the routing and forwarding processes associated with the actual communication occurring via the interconnection. The information related to the plurality of VPNs and their respective member devices may be stored in a mapping table at the gateway, and identification parameters of a device seeking interconnection and/or associated VPN parameters may be verified by the use of digital certificates.
摘要:
The present invention relates to computer viruses and more particularly to a method and system for caching anti-virus file certificates. Each anti-virus certificate associated with a file comprises a file signature. The file signature is generated by a virus-free certificate authority, which avoids the system, which receives the file to check this file for all existing viruses. The virus-free certificate authority validates the file against all known viruses, using one or several anti-virus checkers. In case of new viruses, only the virus-free certificate authority is changed and the only process performed by the system receiving the file is to verify the file against the file signature included in the virus-free certificate, and to filter the file according predetermined rules. The present invention drastically simplifies the computing resources for detecting viruses on network devices such as IP Routers and Firewalls.

摘要:
Method of managing the exchange of a file from a sender (13) to a receiver (12, 15) in a data transmission network (10, 11) wherein any user amongst a plurality of users can send an electronic mail with at least an attached file to at least another user. The method comprises the following steps: the original file corresponding to the file to be sent as an attachment to the electronic mail is forwarded by the sender to a file server (14), a substitute file including at least data identifying the original file is sent by the file server back to the sender upon receiving the original file, the substitute file is attached to the electronic mail before sending this one by the sender to the receiver, and the receiver gets, at anytime, the original file from the file server by providing the file server with the parameters of the substitute file.
