Internet Content Filter

Laws in many countries prohibit the display of certain content (e.g. pornography) on public kiosks and should not be accessible for terminal users. This is why an Internet content filter was developed as part of the Secured Advantage™ software.
Internet Content Filter
How Content Filtering Works
The content filter is a proxy server that scans in real time and, if necessary, blocks websites if any suspicious content is found. Your Internet Explorer proxy settings will remain valid.
  1. Secured Advantage™ contains a database containing over 600,000 categorized “forbidden” domains. Entries on this list will automatically be blocked. Example: http://www.playboy.com/
  2. Several thousand "clean" domains are included on an "Allowed" list which content will automatically be considered not harmful. This list contains known sites which will not be blocked even if "suspicious" content was detected.
  3. Administrators can manually expand both of these lists to block or allow any websites they choose.
  4. Secured Advantage™ maintains these lists and provides free updates over the Internet. The list will be updated as soon as your terminal has established an online connection.
  5. A complex list of words containing regular expressions will optionally be used to scan websites missing on the list for forbidden expressions:
    1. URL - e.g. http://www.sex*.*/
    2. Document Title - e.g. <title>Sex etc.</title>
    3. Meta tags - e.g. keywords: sex, etc.
    4. Body - will scan the body for forbidden expressions
  6. The users will not notice any delay in loading the page as the scanning process is performed while the page is being loaded.
  7. Automatic updates for the filtering lists are available for free download, i.e. as soon as there are new lists available on our servers, the terminals will automatically download and integrate these lists.
Real-time Filtering Real-time Filtering

Each web page called by the user is checked by a special algorithm and is then either blocked or admitted. This process is performed in real time and without any delay to the user.

The criteria filter database contains roughly 600,000 positive and negative domains as well as a large number of word criteria.
