Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and a method of security for a firewall. The system comprises means of communication with an application provided to make connections via the firewall, means of identifying at least one delegation parameter supplied by this application, provided to recognize this application as capable of establishing connections when the delegation parameter complies with at least one reference parameter and command means for establishing connections, based on requests originating from this application. The security system also comprises means of producing the reference parameter, including means of automatic generation and/or command means for automatic distribution, to a list of permitted users, of the reference parameter. It is thus possible to communicate in advance to users the reference parameter to be supplied as the delegation parameter.
