Filed:

Aug 24, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/382265

Inventors:

Hal L. Stern - Livingston NJ
Gregory M. Papadopoulos - Palo Alto CA

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 124

US Classification:

713201, 713168, 713182, 713189, 713200

Abstract:

A secure, trusted network management function embedded within a network interface device is provided. The network interface device connects a host computer to a network and contains a host bus interface, a network interface, and control logic. The network interface device incorporates a secure language processor, non-volatile memory, and a carrier sense circuit. The secure language processor executes a secure language program, and the non-volatile memory stores identification keys for remote devices and objects of value for network applications. If an application program is to be executed or accessed by the host computer, the secure language processor verifies that the object of value allows such execution or access. If a remote network device attempts to control the functionality of the network interface device, the secure language processor verifies that the remote network device has the authority to issue such a command.

International Classification:

G06F 300
G06F 1516

US Classification:

395800

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for processing data. According to a preferred embodiment, the apparatus comprises a plurality of datapaths, each datapath comprising datapath processor, and a statistical decoder input channel device. The statistical decoder input channel device prefetches variable length encoded data from a variable length encoded data source in response to a request by a program running on a datapath processor of a datapath of the plurality of datapaths. The statistical decoder input channel device comprises a statistical decoder processor and memory for decoding the variable length encoded data to provide fixed length decoded data, and a transmission output channel for transmitting the fixed length decoded data to the datapath.
