  • Patent number: 9560032
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for preventing illegitimate outflow of an electronic document. The apparatus includes a taking-out control unit, a taking-out management server unit, and a self-response agent unit. The taking-out control unit generates a virtual disk for storing an electronic document to be controlled, and controls the taking-out of the electronic document. The taking-out management server unit authenticates whether the taking-out of the electronic document is legitimate taking-out. The self-response agent unit performs self-extinction when a result indicating illegitimate outflow is received from the taking-out management server unit.

  • Patent number: 9251290
    Abstract: A method for selectively eliminating nondeterministic elements of NFA is disclosed. The method includes steps of: (a) determining a specific state calculated to have a highest arrival probability through a transition from a current state among all states in the NFA as a current highest probability state; (b) determining whether there exists at least one common transition between a first set of transitions including at least one transition moving the current highest probability state to a state i and a second set of transitions including at least one transition moving the current highest probability state to a state j in the NFA; and (c) excluding the at least one common transition between the first and the second sets of transitions and creating a state k which is arrived as a result of moving from the current highest probability state through the at least one common transition.

  • Publication number: 20160028766
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a means for compressing Non-deterministic Finite Automata (NFA) for faster matching during Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) when a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) is evaluating traffic to find suspicious network traffic. The present disclosure accomplishes this through four primary components. First, it provides a time-efficient method for accurately comparing two regular expressions so that common prefixes can be identified. Second, it provides a time-efficient method for grouping regular expressions by their common prefixes. Third, it provides a method for subgrouping within groups by longest common prefixes in order to maximize compression. Finally, it provides a method for building a compressed NFA using heuristics derived from the length of the common prefix to a subgroup.

  • Patent number: 9193173
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for preventing the illegitimate exit of a printed document by applying a security material. The apparatus includes an exit registration unit, a security printer unit, an exit management server unit, and an illegitimate exit detection unit. The exit registration unit generates information about the printed document of an electronic document, and sends the information to register the information about the printed document. The security printer unit prints the content and security identifier of the electronic document, and generates a secure printed document by applying a security material. The exit management server unit records and determines whether the secure printed document has been exited. The illegitimate exit detection unit detects the security material of the secure printed document, generates an exit warning, analyzes the security identifier, and determines whether the secure printed document is to be exited.
