For this step a Yao garbled circuit approach is much faster than current fully homomorphic encryption schemes.

20160020966 | DYNAMIC REMOTE PACKET CAPTURE - A device may be configured to receive information regarding one or more ports associated with a routing device; output, to the routing device, filter information associated with at least a particular port, of the one or more ports associated with the routing device, the filter information specifying one or more conditions associated with traffic of interest; receive, from the routing device, and based on the outputted filter information, information regarding traffic of interest received or sent by the routing device via the particular port, the traffic of interest being less than or equal to all traffic received or sent by the routing device via the particular port; and store or output a representation of at least a portion of the received information regarding the traffic of interest. | 2016-01-21 |
20160020967 | SYNCHRONIZED ROUTING UPDATES FOR TSCH NETWORKS - In one embodiment, a network node provides a time slotted channel hopping (TSCH) schedule to one or more child nodes of the network node. The TSCH schedule includes one or more mandatory routing protocol report time slots. The network node receives routing protocol reports from the one or more child nodes according to the TSCH schedule. The network node aggregates the received routing protocol reports into an aggregated routing protocol report. The network node provides the aggregated routing protocol report to a parent of the network node during a time slot that is subsequent to the one or more mandatory time slots for the one or more child nodes. | 2016-01-21 |
20160020968 | Method For Calculating Statistic Data of Traffic Flows in Data Network And Probe Thereof - The disclosure provides a probe and a method for calculating statistic data of traffic flows. The probe comprises at least one link processor (LP) and a correlation processor (CP). Each LP includes two buffers, receives packets from directional traffic flows, generates information of bi-directional traffic flows based on the received packets, stores the generated information in one buffer within a reporting period and, reports the stored information to CP when the reporting period boundary is reached. The information of each bi-directional traffic flow includes the relevant identification information and statistic data. The CP calculates statistic data of a particular group of traffic flows with a predetermined characteristic based on the reported information, and the other buffer stores information of bi-directional traffic flows to be generated within a next reporting period and the stored information is to be reported to the correlation processor when the next reporting period boundary is reached. | 2016-01-21 |
20160020969 | Mitigating Reflection-Based Network Attacks - In one embodiment, a network device routes traffic along a network path and receives a performance threshold crossing alert regarding performance of the network path. The network device detects that the performance threshold crossing alert is part of a potential network attack by analyzing, by the device, the performance threshold crossing alert. The network device also provides a notification of the detected network attack. | 2016-01-21 |
20160020970 | ROUTER AND INFORMATION-COLLECTION METHOD THEREOF - The present invention provides a router including a storage device, a communication module, and a controller. The storage device stores a web-page code corresponding to a graphical user interface, wherein the web-page code includes an information-gathering code. The controller enables the communication module to transmit the web-page code to the first electronic device coupled in response to a predetermined web-page request received from the first electronic device, wherein the information-gathering code is arranged to collect an environment information sector of the first electronic device and transmit the environment information sector of the first electronic device to the router. | 2016-01-21 |
