  • Data storage device with wear level identification
    Patent number: 9390761
    Abstract: A transducing head may be connected to a controller and positioned proximal a data storage medium. The controller can be connected to a wear level identification circuit and configured to identify a first data region of the data storage medium having a first wear level and a second data region of the data storage medium having a second wear level. The first and second wear levels can respectively correspond to different amounts of component degradation of the data storage device.
    Type: Grant

  • Secure firewall supporting different levels of authentication based on address or encryption status
    Patent number: 5983350
    Abstract: A system and method for regulating the flow of messages through a firewall having a network protocol stack, wherein the network protocol stack includes an Internet Protocol (IP) layer, the method comprising establishing a security policy, determining, at the IP layer, if a message is encrypted, if the message is not encrypted, passing the unencrypted message up the network protocol stack to an application level proxy, and if the message is encrypted, decrypting the message and passing the decrypted message up the network protocol stack to the application level proxy, wherein decrypting the message includes executing a process at the IP layer to decrypt the message.
