David K Ahn

David K Ahn is an esteemed inventor based in Winston-Salem, NC, with an impressive portfolio of 50 patents. His latest patents revolve around rule-based network-threat detection and correlating packets in communications networks.

In his groundbreaking invention on rule-based network-threat detection, David has devised a packet-filtering device that can effectively identify packets corresponding to network-threat indicators. This device utilizes packet-filtering rules that are configured to detect packets based on specific criteria, such as network-threat indicators. By applying the specified operator in each packet-filtering rule, the device can either prevent the packet from reaching its destination or allow it to continue. Additionally, the device generates detailed log entries that contain information from the packet-filtering rule, including the identified network-threat indicators and whether the packet was prevented or allowed to continue.

Another notable invention by David focuses on correlating packets in communications networks. In this invention, David has developed a computing system that can identify packets received and transmitted by a network device from and to different hosts across networks. By generating corresponding log entries for the packets, the computing system effectively correlates the transmitted packets with the received packets, enabling comprehensive analysis and monitoring of network communications.

Throughout his career, David K Ahn has worked with prominent organizations such as Centripetal Networks, Inc. and Wake Forest University Health Sciences, further highlighting his expertise in the field of network security and communication. Some of his notable coworkers include Sean Moore and Peter P Geremia.

David's inventions not only showcase his technical prowess but also demonstrate his commitment to advancing network security and communication technologies. With his innovative solutions, he continues to contribute significantly to the field, providing valuable improvements for companies and individuals seeking robust network-threat detection and packet correlation capabilities.
