  • Method and system for providing secure one-way transfer of data
    Patent number: 8250235
    Abstract: A system including a transmitter, a receiver, and a conduit is provided. The transmitter is within a first network, and is in communication with at least one other device within the first network. The receiver is within a second network, and is in communication with at least one other device within the second network. The conduit is formed between the transmitter and the receiver, and is capable of carrying a signal transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. To maintain the unidirectional nature of the conduit, either the transmitter is incapable of receiving any signal via the conduit or the receiver is incapable of transmitting any signal via the conduit.

  • Method and system for wireless intrusion detection
    Patent number: 7778606
    Abstract: A wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) is disclosed for monitoring both authorized and unauthorized access to a wireless portion of a network. The WIDS consists of a collector and one or more nodes that communicate via an out of band means that is separate from the network. Unauthorized access points and unauthorized clients in the network can be detected. The WIDS can be used to monitor, for example, a network implemented using the 802.11 protocol. In addition, the WIDS can be used by one company to provide a service that monitors the wireless network of another company.
