Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we aim at developing a high performance packet filtering technique as equal performance to ASIC. Packet filter blocks malicious communication from the Internet, which attempt to intrude into our computers, mobile phone, and other devices. Because they have difficulty in dealing with arbitrary bimask policies, almost existing filtering algorithms recently have a trouble blocking such various malicious communication. We propose novel packet filtering algorithms dealing with arbitrary bitmask policies and processing over 100,000,000 packets per second in the best case.
