<p>The present invention relates to a multiple byte prefiltering method and pattern matching method and apparatus using the same, wherein a method for comparing an identity block of a pattern with a block of an input packet and performing a prefiltering operation comprises the steps of: generating the identity block of the pattern and the block of the input packet via a string blocking step where a hash value for each character of the string is calculated; and blocking the string with multiple bytes using the hash value.</p> |
