TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a network tap for enabling attached devices such as an intrusion detection system to transmit information into a communication line of the network without disrupting the network traffic on the communication line.Abstract:
A network tap for enabling attached devices, such as an intrusion detection system, to transmit information into a communication line of the network without disrupting the network traffic on the communication line. When the attached device is an intrusion detection device, the network tap is connected to a firewall. An Ethernet switch or field programmable gate array (FPGA) is incorporated in the network tap to coordinate the transmission of device data to avoid data collisions with data transmissions already existing in the communication line. The network tap may be operated in various modes to accommodate different capabilities of attached devices. In addition, the network tap has various port configurations to allow a user to connect various attached devices through a single cable or dual cables and to connect various combinations of attached devices.read more

Method and apparatus for repercussion-free capture of data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an apparatus for repercussion-free capture of data from at least one device (16.1, 16.2, and 16.3) in accordance with a request profile (17, 17'), which is arranged in a first network (12) having a high security requirement and in a second network (11) having low security requirement, containing a requesting unit (14), a monitoring unit (21), and an alarm unit (24), which is designed to provide an alarm signal if the monitored data differ from the data expected on the basis

Method and arrangement for decoupled transmission of data between networks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a decoupled transmission of data between networks having different security requirements, in which first data from a first application are transmitted (2) in a communication exclusively between components within the first network via multiple communication links (16.1, 16.2) and being transmitted (4) to a second network having lower security requirements.
