Abstract
A network sanitization technology for enforcing a network edge and enforcing particular communication functions for untrusted dedicated-function devices such as internet protocol (IP) cameras. An untrusted network device is isolated from a network by a network sanitization system such that it cannot communicate with the network. Communications from the untrusted device are intercepted by the system and only allowed communications are used. Allowed communications are used to create new communications according to an allowed framework. Sanitization device may be in small two-port package with visual indicia indicating the untrusted device and the network side. The device may use and provide power over Ethernet (POE) to device. Abstract is not to be considered limiting.
