1. A method, performed at a network server device disposed between a client device and an application server, the method comprising:

  • at a processing circuit in the network server device;

    receiving a connection request from the client device to communicate with an application executing at the application server via a secure communications session;

    determining an application type for the application executing at the application server based on information included in the connection request;

    dynamically generating and allocating a dedicated operating environment for a user agent executing on the client device based on the determined application type, wherein the operating environment is dedicated to the user agent and comprises software and hardware components utilized by the user agent to communicate with the application via the secure communications session;

    establishing a first bi-directional communications link between the operating environment and the user agent in a first security domain;

    establishing a second bi-directional communications link between the operating environment and the application server in a second security domain;

    communicating data between the user agent and the application server via the first and second bi-directional communications links, wherein communicating the data comprises the operating environment translating the data between the first and second security domains; and

    deallocating the operating environment responsive to detecting termination of the secure communications session.
