Latest Patents

Kim is credited with 1 patent: “Method for Implementing Zero Trust Role-Based Microsegmentation Based on Network Switch and Network Controller and Access Switch Using the Same.”

The patent describes a network controller that uses device asset information to register a network device in a designated segment. The controller then sends the segment ID to an access switch, which assigns it as metadata to the device’s MAC address using VACL. The switch applies IACL-based access control rules associated with that segment to govern the device’s access to network resources.

Career Highlights

Kim’s listed work is associated with Piolink, Inc. The patent focuses on coordinating network controllers and access switches to apply segment-based access policies, supporting a zero-trust approach to network security.
