Abstract
One or more integrated circuits for implementing a network firewall for a cloud computing platform are disclosed. The one or more integrated circuits comprise: special-purpose hardware, configured to perform: receiving an item in a transport layer from a second hardware portion through a communication bus, the item being derived from original data received by the second hardware portion from a source computer device; and applying processing in increasingly higher communication layers to the item to obtain processed data in an application layer. The applying comprises identifying a payload in the item; determining whether the item includes a security attack based on the payload, the original data, and additional data received from the source computer device before or after the original data was received; and transmitting the processed data, including a result of the determining, to the second hardware portion.
