Securing Communications Between Different Network Zones
First Claim
1. A method of communicating a protocol request at a network zone, the method comprising:
- receiving the protocol request from a computing device;
encapsulating the protocol request in a different protocol;
transmitting the protocol request to a different network zone by way of the different protocol;
accessing a message from the different network zone by way of the different protocol, the message including a protocol response to the protocol request;
extracting the protocol response from the message; and
transmitting the protocol response to the computing device.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a method is provided for communicating a protocol request at a network zone. In this method, the protocol request is received from a computing device and this protocol request is encapsulated in a different protocol. The protocol request is then transmitted to a different network zone by way of the different protocol. A message is then accessed from the different network zone by way of the different protocol, and this message includes a protocol response to the protocol request. The protocol response is extracted from the message and transmitted to the computing device.

16. A computing device comprising:
-
at least one processor; and a memory in communication with the at least one processor, the memory being configured to store an application server and an application that are executable by the at least one processor, the application server having instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause operations to be performed, the operations comprising; accessing a message from a different network zone by way of a protocol, the message including a protocol request that is formatted in a different protocol; extracting the protocol request from the message; providing the protocol request to the application, the application configured to generate the protocol response to the protocol request; encapsulating the protocol response in the protocol; and transmitting the protocol response to the different network zone by way of the protocol. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
