Abstract
Methods of filtering comprise aggregating a plurality of filter rulesets to produce an active aggregated filter ruleset (F) having Flists of allowed and blocked platforms, and processing a platform access request through the F. The processing includes blocking the request if the requested platform is in the Flist of blocked platforms and allowing the request if the requested platform is in the Flist of allowed platforms. Methods of aggregating filter rulesets include combining a lowest priority filter ruleset (F) with a second lowest priority filter ruleset (F), which includes removing any platforms of an Flist of blocked platforms from an Flist of allowed platforms, adding an Flist of allowed platforms to the Flist of allowed platforms, removing any platforms of the Flist of allowed platforms from the Flist of blocked platforms, and adding the Fand Flists of blocked platforms.
