Abstract: At least a portion of a transmission of an outgoing first email from a first email account to at least a second email account is encrypted. Second email address data is changed corresponding to the second email account to cause replies to the first email intended for the second email account to be sent to an intermediate device prior to being routed to the second email account. Replies to the first email are then sent to the intermediate device and sent over one or more encrypted channels. Replies to the first email including the changed email address data are decoded to identify the second email address data associated with the second email account. A reply to the first email is then sent to the second email account based on the identified second email address data.

Abstract: The components of communication network device ingress systems and methods cooperate to manage information ingress and prevent denial of service attempts. A classifier classifies incoming information. A classification filter filters the information on a classification basis to prevent denial of service. The classification filter includes a classification filter counter for tracking the flow of information associated with the classification filter. A zero value in the classification filter counter indicates that a buffer capacity limit associated with the classification is reached. The counter permits information to flow to a packet buffer if the classification filter counter value is not zero and discards information if the classification filter counter value is zero. In one exemplary implementation the classification filter counter decrements a classification filter counter value when the information is placed in the buffer.
