Patents
Location based data
United States 7,092,943
Issued February 28, 2003
Data is provided with location-based access control information. Access to the data at a physical location is then limited according to the location-based access control information. A physical location of a device accessing the data can be determined, and the limiting of the access is then according to the determined physical location. The data can be provided in encrypted form, and limiting...more
Location discovery in a data network
United States 7,295,556
Issued February 28, 2003
A method for location discovery in a data network includes receiving, at a first device, connection information from a neighboring network device and determining a physical location of the first device based on the connection information. The method can include receiving, at the first device, the physical location transmitted from the neighboring network device. The method can further include...more
Optical interface identification system
United States 7,347,628
Issued November 8, 2005
A connector assembly, configured to releasably couple a socket assembly, includes zero or more data conductors. An optical pathway is configured to: receive an optical signal from an optical light source positioned within the socket assembly; and provide at least a portion of the optical signal to an optical light target positioned within the socket assembly.
System and method for dynamic network policy management
United States 7,526,541
Issued July 29, 2003
Abstract
A system and method that provides dynamic network policy management. The system enables a network administrator to regulate usage of network services upon initiation of and throughout network sessions. The system employs a method of identifying selectable characteristics of attached functions to establish static and dynamic policies, which policies may be amended before, during and...more

United States 7,581,249
Issued November 14, 2003
A system and method to respond to intrusions detected on a network system including attached functions and a network infrastructure. The system includes means for receiving from an intrusion detection function information about intrusions, a directory service function for gathering and reporting at least the physical and logical addresses of devices of the network infrastructure associated with...more
Method for network traffic mirroring with data privacy
United States 7,690,040
Issued March 8, 2005
Systems and methods are provided for preserving the privacy of data contained in mirrored network traffic. The mirrored network traffic may comprise data that may be considered confidential, privileged, private, or otherwise sensitive data. For example, the data payload of a frame of mirrored network traffic may include private Voice over IP (VoIP) communications between users on one or more...more
