Perimeter Processor Filtering Data Streams Using Indelible Memory
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer systems face vulnerabilities due to malware intrusions, with current security measures often requiring frequent updates, being susceptible to attacks, and unable to effectively filter incoming data streams, leading to inadequate protection against unauthorized access.
Innovation Solution
A computer-based system with a perimeter processor and indelible memory that receives parameters from a protected system to filter and regulate data entry, utilizing these parameters to determine which data from incoming streams can pass through, rejecting or converting non-conforming data and operating only from secure, read-only memory to enhance security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing security measures (antivirus software, firewalls) are used to protect systems, then some level of protection is provided, but they require frequent updates, expire, are susceptible to attacks themselves, and cannot filter incoming data in stream
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a perimeter system as an intermediary component between accessing systems and the protected system. This perimeter system includes a processor and indelible memory that work together to filter data streams before they reach the protected system, providing continuous security without requiring updates to the protected system itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The security architecture is segmented into three distinct components: accessing systems, a perimeter system, and a protected system. This segmentation allows each component to have specialized functions - the perimeter system handles filtering and security operations independently, while the protected system maintains its core functionality without security maintenance overhead.
2Productivity
If traditional filtering systems are used, then some data regulation is achieved, but they cannot operate continuously on incoming data streams and require frequent updates
Solution Approach 1:
The perimeter system is pre-configured with indelible memory containing filtering rules and security parameters before operation begins. This preliminary setup allows the system to immediately start filtering incoming data streams without requiring real-time updates or configuration changes during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The perimeter system acts as an intermediary that continuously processes and filters data streams in real-time, allowing the protected system to operate without interruption while security regulations are applied to all incoming data before it reaches the protected system.
3Reliability
If security measures are made more stringent to improve protection, then security level increases, but system complexity and difficulty of operation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The perimeter system serves as an intermediary that absorbs the complexity of security operations, presenting a simple interface to both accessing systems and the protected system. It handles all complex filtering, validation, and security decisions internally, allowing other systems to operate without needing to understand or manage security complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The perimeter system autonomously performs all security filtering and data validation operations without requiring manual intervention, configuration updates, or complex management. It self-regulates the data stream filtering based on its indelible memory parameters, simplifying operation while maintaining high security standards.

AI summary
A computer-based system for regulating entry of data into a protected system. The system can include a first processor configured to process and manage data for the computer-based system. The system can also include one or more indelible memories communicatively linked with the first processor for the computer-based system. Additionally, the system can include a second processor configured to process and manage data for the protected system, wherein the second processor for the protected system is communicatively linked to the first processor for the computer-based system. The first processor for the computer-based system can be configured to receive one or more parameters from the second processor, wherein the one or more parameters defines which data from a data stream can pass to the protected system. Also, the first processor can be configured to receive the data stream from one or more accessing systems The first processor can be further configured to filter the data stream based on the one or more parameters received from the second processor. Moreover, the first processor can be configured to transmit the filtered data stream to the second processor, wherein one or more of the receiving, the filtering, and the transmitting is performed by utilizing the one or more indelible memories.
