  • Patent number: 11765256
    Abstract: A device and method for analyzing service-oriented communication in a communications network. A data packet includes a header for service-oriented communication. It is analyzed for the data packet depending on information about at least two data fields of the header whether or not the data packet meets a criterion, the criterion defining a setpoint value for values from the at least two data fields permitted in the communications network or a combination of information from the at least two data fields permitted in the communications network.

  • Patent number: 11729188
    Abstract: Device and method for intrusion detection in a computer network. A data packet is received at an input of a hardware switch unit, an actual value from a field of the data packet being compared in a comparison by a hardware filter with a setpoint value for values from the field, the field including data link layer data or network layer data, a value for a counter determined as a function of a result of the comparison being provided by the hardware switch unit, and a computing device determining a result of the intrusion detection as a function of the value of the counter in the hardware switch unit and independently of information from the data packet, in particular, without an evaluation of information from the data packet by the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11533388
    Abstract: A device and a method for analyzing service-oriented communication in a communications network. A data packet includes a first header of an application layer for service-oriented communication, and a second header of a presentation layer, a session layer, a transport layer, a network layer, a data link layer, or a physical layer. The data packet is analyzed based on information concerning a sender and/or receiver of the data packet from the first header and as a function of information concerning a sender and/or receiver from the second header, for whether or not the data packet meets a criterion, the criterion defining a setpoint value for the sender and/or receiver in the first header as a function of the content of the second header, and/or the criterion defining a setpoint value for the sender and/or receiver in the second header as a function of the content of the first header.

  • Patent number: 11178162
    Abstract: A method for detecting anomalies in a computer network, in which a message transmitted over the computer network is received or recorded by a node of the computer network; based on at least the message, it is checked by a detection mechanism of the node whether the anomalies have occurred, and an occurrence of the anomalies is either confirmed or refuted according to a predefined detection rule of the detection mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20210014253
    Abstract: A method and a device for anomaly detection, the device including at least one port and a processing unit. The at least one port is designed to process, in particular to send or to receive, a data packet. The processing unit is designed to check, as a function of a first piece of information concerning the physical port at which the data packet is processed, and as a function of a second piece of information from at least one protocol header of the data packet, whether or not the data packet to be processed, including this second piece of information, is allowed to be processed at this physical port. An anomaly is detected when it is determined that the data packet is not allowed to be processed at the physical port.
