1. A secure commerce server system, comprising:
- a plurality of regions or burbs, including an internal burb and an external burb, wherein processes bound to one burb cannot communicate directly to processes and data objects bound to other burbs, and wherein the internal burb includes a first protocol stack and the external burb includes a second protocol stack separate from the first protocol stack;
a commerce server, wherein processes and data objects associated with the commerce server are bound to the external burb;
an administration server, wherein processes and data objects associated with the administration server are bound to the internal burb; and
an assured pipeline connected between the external and internal burbs, wherein the assured pipeline controls transfer of information between the internal and external burbs such that a message from the commerce server to the administration server is routed up one or more layers of the second protocol stack and through the assured pipeline to the first protocol stack before being routed to the administration server.

Abstract
A secure commerce server system and method. A secure commerce server system includes a plurality of regions or burbs, including an internal burb and an external burb, a commerce server and an administration server. Processes and data objects associated with the administration server are bound to the internal burb. Processes and data objects associated with the commerce server are bound to the external burb. Processes bound to one burb cannot communicate directly to processes and data objects bound to other burbs. The administration server cannot be manipulated by a process bound to the external burb.

8. A method of conducting electronic commerce over a plurality of networks, including an external network and an internal network, wherein the internal network includes an administration server, the method comprising:
-
connecting a network interface to each of the plurality of networks, wherein the step of connecting includes the steps of connecting an external network interface to the external network and an internal network interface to the internal network;
defining a plurality of burbs, wherein the plurality of burbs includes a first and a second burb, wherein the first burb includes a first protocol stack and the second burb includes a second protocol stack separate from the first protocol stack;
assigning the external network interface to the first burb;
assigning the internal network interface to the second burb;
binding processes to burbs;
establishing an assured pipeline between the first and second protocol stacks;
receiving an electronic commerce request from the external network;
routing the electronic commerce request up one or more layers of the first protocol stack and through the assured pipeline to the second protocol stack; and
routing the electronic commerce request through the second protocol stack to the administration server. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
