Abstract
Dynamically reconfigurable middleware is embedded in hardware form in communication network platforms to implement network security policies, exploit data and increase data throughput, especially in mobile ad hoc environments. The hardware includes a quality of service manager for receiving data from the network and prioritizing the data according to predetermined classes of data service. An embedded security manager authenticates data received from the network based on a predetermined security policy and allows only that data to reach applications running on the platform that has been authenticated. A data exploitation manager detects receipt at the platform of predetermined types of data of interest to the platform. Routing tables are provided for determining the routing of the data to a destination, and a protocol engine is employed to specify the protocol to be used in routing the data.
