  • coupling a first security module and a second security module to an interface module;

    identifying the first security module and the second security module with the interface module;

    extracting a message identifier from a first definition corresponding to the first security module and extracting the same message identifier from a second definition corresponding to the second security module;

    storing the message identifier in the interface module;

    creating a message using the message identifier in the interface module and the first security module;

    placing the message in a shared memory;

    receiving a subscription request at the interface module from the second security module for the message identifier; and

    using the message identifier and the subscription request at the interface module to notify the second security module of the message in the shared memory.
