  • Publication number: 20110081018
    Abstract: A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: receiving a communiqué that is affiliated with a source entity and that is directed to a receiving user; and presenting, in lieu of presenting indication of reception of the communiqué, a covert indicator that covertly indicates reception of the communiqué, the presenting of the covert indicator being in accordance with one or more conditional directives of the receiving user to conditionally obfuscate the reception of the communiqué affiliated with the source entity. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20110083010
    Abstract: A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: intercepting communiqué aspect data that is directed to an end user entity and that indicates one or more aspects of a communiqué directed to the end user entity and that is affiliated with a particular source entity, the intercepting of the communiqué aspect data being in accordance with one or more conditional directives of the end user entity to conditionally obfuscate the communiqué affiliated with the source entity; and transmitting to the end user entity, in response to intercepting the communiqué aspect data and in lieu of transmitting direct indication of the communiqué to the end user entity, covert indicator data that upon reception by the end user entity covertly indicates the one or more aspects of the communiqué. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

  • Patent number: 7519995
    Abstract: An improved deep packet filter system designed to optimize search of dynamic patterns for a high speed network traffic. The improved deep packet filter system is a hardware-based system with optimized logic area. One optimization technique is the sharing of common sub-logic in the hardware design to reduce the number of gates that are required. Another optimization technique is the use of a built-in memory to store portions of the pattern set, also resulting in a reduction of gates. The reduction of the logic area allows the deep packet filter system to be implemented onto a single field-programmable array chip.
