Device for managing data filters

Abstract

The digital word processing mechanism (1) has an implanted information server receiving primary digital words. Specific processing (5) is applied following primary rules. There is a first table (T1) with a first set of primary rules in parametric form. The rules are called meta rules and have primary identifiants. The processing is coupled to a management system (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention is that of data processing, more specifically of filtering data at a point in a public or private network connected to other public or private networks or to user terminals. technical background [0002] Data filtering is generally provided by data processing servers equipped with processing means known as firewalls. Firewalls are generally used to protect private (or internal) local area networks (LANs) and isolated user terminals from external attacks or intrusions that typically originate from public (or external) wide area networks (WANs) such as the Internet. It can also be used to restrict private network users' access to the public network and / or to protect servers from internal or external networks. [0003] The firewall must be configured to provide at least one of the above functions, or in other words be able to filter packets received by the server on which the firewall is installed. The main (or basic) rules de...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the frequent evolution of networks, firewalls must be frequently reconfigured, which not only increases the risk of error or impropriety, but also consumes a considerable amount of time for network administrators
