1. A product for authenticating and authorizing provenance of information for one or more information management processes, the product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein, the computer-readable program code executable on a processor to perform communication management operations, the communication management operations comprising:

  • i) authorizing communication with a computing device on a network, comprising;

    a) sending a nonpublic first identification code via a communication pathway, the communication pathway pre-established on the network;

    b) receiving, after sending the nonpublic first identification code, a nonpublic computing device identification code via the pre-established communication pathway; and

    c) comparing the computing device identification code with a preconfigured value for the computing device, to confirm that the computing device is an authorized computing device on the network;

    ii) receiving a network packet via the communication pathway, the network packet comprising;

    (a) information; and

    (b) an encrypted parameter in an application space portion of the network packet;

    iii) verifying that the received information is an authorized communication from a process operating on the authorized computing device, comprising;

    comparing, in a processor-accessible kernel space, a decrypted form of the parameter with a preconfigured identifier for the process to confirm that the process is an authorized process; and

    iv) passing the information from the processor-accessible kernel space to one or more information management processes.
