H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 23

Abstract:

A system for intrusion detection in a field area network where data is transmitted via packets, includes a processor for analyzing the packets to ascertain whether the packets conform to a sets of rules indicating an intrusion, and a database for storing an alert indicating an intrusion if the packets conform to at least one rule in the sets. The sets of rules are for field network layer data, internet protocol traffic data and field area application traffic data. A method for detecting intrusion in a field area network where data is transmitted via packets, including analyzing the packets to ascertain whether the packets conform to the sets of rules, and storing an alert indicating an intrusion if the packets conform to at least one rule in the sets of rules.

US Classification:

702 62, 324126

Abstract:

An adapter, and a method of using the adapter, for an electric meter, which includes a set of connections for interfacing to a panel box, a set of connectors for interfacing to the electric meter; and circuitry for intercepting FAN or HAN traffic, injecting FAN or HAN traffic and communicating intercepted traffic and local information from the electric meter and sensors over a network to a management entity that collects and process the data. Data from environmental, electric quality, and usage sensors are supplied to the network. External commands, originating in a management entity or with a customer are provided from the network. A computer readable non-transitory storage medium stores instructions of a computer program, which when executed by a computer system results in performance of steps of a method for intercepting FAN or HAN traffic, injecting FAN or HAN traffic, transmitting intercepted FAN or HAN traffic or utility usage data to a network, by using a utility usage sensor to acquire data representing utility usage; and using electrical circuitry in the adapter for communicating information from the sensor over a network to a management entity that collects and process the data.

Abstract:

A packet intercept system includes probes along the field area network. A portion of the probes are mobile probes configured to receive and process a global positioning system signal. Intercepting by the mobile probes includes implementing a global positioning tag in each packet in the traffic data stream intercepted by the mobile probes, the global positioning tag includes a timestamp and global positioning system coordinates, derived from the global position system signal. The packet intercept system backhauls the traffic data stream to an additional network that is distinct from the field area network. Processors on the additional network obtain the traffic data stream and process the stream into a live traffic data stream by ordering each packet intercepted by the mobile probes in the processed live traffic data stream, based on the timestamp. The processors analyze the processed live traffic data stream.

Abstract:

A computer program product, computer system, and method for performing traffic analysis on a wireless mesh network, includes intercepting a stream of real-time wireless from field probes on the wireless mesh network, wherein the stream comprises non-standard protocol elements and encrypted traffic, creating an ad hoc network parallel to the wireless mesh network, obtaining, from the ad hoc network, the intercepted stream (the analyzing is performed parallel to traffic flow on the wireless mesh network), pre-processing a portion of the intercepted stream the data, where the pre-processing comprises descrambling and processing headers in the stream to differentiate the packets in the stream and create a combined output stream, obtaining the combined output stream and creating indicators by selecting an analysis operator to apply to one or more dissected fields extracted from the output stream, analyzing the packets in the combined output stream utilizing the indicators, and obtaining results from the indicators and reporting, the results from the indicators.
