Patent number: 8914320Abstract: Computer based method for generation of a graph representation of a rule set for searching data transiting a network using a graph-based search model. A set of rules that describe strings or patterns of data to be identified in the data set, is expressed as a graph. As blocks of the data set are obtained for processing, the state of the graph is updated based upon the value of the received data block. The transition to the next state depends upon both the current state and the received data block. As blocks of data are received and processed, the graph is traversed until one of the rules is identified.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Brian D.
