  • Patent number: 11902310
    Abstract: A feature calculation unit calculates a feature of header information of a packet. A classification unit classifies the packet as a normal packet or an abnormal packet by using the calculated feature. An adding unit adds a label indicating a tool name of a known attack tool to header information of a packet attacked using the attack tool. A learning unit learns the addition of the label by using the label and the feature calculated for the packet to which the label has been added as teacher data.

  • Patent number: 11824767
    Abstract: A continuity checking apparatus generates a continuity checking packet to which a predetermined flag and user attributes are assigned and transmits the generated continuity checking packet to an edge router connected to a service that is an entrance of a service chain. Each service transmits an arrival message with respect to the continuity checking packet to the continuity checking apparatus upon reception of the continuity checking packet to which the predetermined flag is assigned. In addition, each service transfers the continuity checking packet to a next service device of the service chain on the basis of the user attributes assigned to the received continuity checking packet. The continuity checking apparatus identifies a path representing service devices through which the continuity checking packet passes on the basis of the arrival message transmitted from each service, and determines whether the identified path is the same as a path of the service chain that is a continuity checking target.

  • Patent number: 11570206
    Abstract: A handling apparatus (14a) handles a server attack taking place on a network (1Na) or handles a server attack as requested by a security system provided on another network. In accordance with a determination that it is not possible to handle the server attack by the handling apparatus (14a), the control determination apparatus (12a) makes a request to another security system (1Sb) capable of handling the server attack to handle the server attack. A centralized control apparatus (11) determines whether the server attack taking place on the network (1Na) can be handled on another network.

  • Publication number: 20220182361
    Abstract: A registration device (10) includes an extracting unit (131) that extracts inner header information and outer header information of an encapsulated packet, a filter unit (132) that calculates a hash value of the inner header information and the outer header information as an address of a hash table in which arrival information indicating whether a first packet of a series of flow has arrived is registered for each address and causes, based on the hash table, inner header information and outer header information of the first packet of the series of flow to pass, and a registering unit (133) that registers the inner header information and the outer header information of the first packet, which the filter unit (132) has caused to pass, in a database in association with each other.

  • Publication number: 20220130006
    Abstract: An object is to propose a device for calculating the value of a trademark (trademark power) according to an evaluation method capable of specifying a causal relationship with economic activity: various functions of a trademark right. In order to solve the above problem, the trademark evaluation device of the present invention, in the trademark population owned by a same trademark right holder, identifies a trademark including a mark that has a similar relationship to the mark that constitutes the trademark, and measures the similarity number N of each trademark. Next, the basic value A, which is a base value for evaluating the value of one trademark, is measured from the cost spent for registering the trademark, and the like. Finally, the value of the trademark (trademark power) is calculated as the basic value A raised to the power of “N raised to the (K/M)” (M, K?1).
