With the new Bitcoin protocol
classification capabilities provided by
R&S PACE 2, vendors embedding the
DPI engine in their network security
and analytics solutions are now able to
classify Bitcoin transactions within IP-
based network traffic in order to fully
understand how a network is utilized.
They can accurately and reliably identify
Bitcoin network activities and implement
security policies accordingly. This increases their visibility of and their
control over potential security risks related to Bitcoin transactions.
The DPI software library R&S PACE 2 provides powerful and
reliable detection and classification of thousands of applications
and protocols by combining deep packet inspection and behavioral
traffic analysis – regardless of whether the protocols use advanced
obfuscation, port-hopping techniques or encryption. DPI is needed
everywhere in the network where intelligent decisions need to be
made based on the nature of IP traffic, whether it is wanted or
unwanted traffic, good or malicious.
The new Bitcoin protocol classification
functionality enhances network analytics and
security solutions to identify Bitcoin network
activity. This enables enterprises to identify,
control and block bitcoin transactions within
a network.
Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity, a leading
IT security company, today announced
the availability of its new Bitcoin protocol
classification capabilities provided by the deep
packet inspection (DPI) engine R&S PACE 2. The OEM software
solution is now able to reliably detect and classify the Bitcoin
protocol in network traffic in real time.
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a digital payment system.
Transactions are made peer-to-peer and are written directly on
a distributed ledger named “blockchain”. The digital money is
issued and managed without any central authority – meaning no
governments or banks are involved. The virtual money can be
exchanged for other currencies, products and services and shopping
web sites accept cryptocurrencies as a method of payment.
