Abstract: A method in one example implementation includes extracting a plurality of data elements from a record of a data file, tokenizing the data elements into tokens, and storing the tokens in a first tuple of a registration list. The method further includes selecting one of the tokens as a token key for the first tuple, where the token is selected because it occurs less frequently in the registration list than each of the other tokens in the first tuple. In specific embodiments, at least one data element is an expression element having a character pattern matching a predefined expression pattern that represents at least two words and a separator between the words. In other embodiments, at least one data element is a word defined by a character pattern of one or more consecutive essential characters. Other specific embodiments include determining an end of the record by recognizing a predefined delimiter.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a rule compiler can compress a plurality of rules to be parsed over a block of data into one state table tree structure. In one embodiment of the present invention, rue parsing over the block of data includes selecting a unit of the block of data, indexing into a state table of the state table tree using the selected unit. The state table indexed into can be used for determining whether a decision regarding the block of data can be reached based on the indexed entry, and for selecting a next state table indicated by the indexed entry if the decision regarding the block of data cannot be reached.

Abstract: A document accessible over a network can be registered. A registered document, and the content contained therein, cannot be transmitted undetected over and off of the network. In one embodiment, the invention includes maintaining a plurality of stored signatures in a signature database, each signature being associated with one of a plurality of registered documents. In one embodiment, the invention further includes maintaining the signature database by de-registering documents by removing the signatures associated with de-registered documents. In one embodiment, the invention further includes maintaining the database by removing redundant and high detection rate signatures. In one embodiment, the invention also includes maintaining the signature database by removing signatures based on the source text used to generate the signature.
