| 20090129594 | System and method for providing a trusted network facilitating inter-process communications via an e-box - A system and methods for providing a trusted network which facilitates inter-process communication in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. The system includes processes, a security device, a network security element, a communication path and an outside server. A method for enabling inter-process communication commences when one processes initiates communication with another process. A security device encrypts the message and validates it if the communication is in accordance with the network's security policy via the network security element. The security device functions to directly permit or cancel any communication between processes on the network. The initialization of the security device upon the network results in a series of interactions between the security device and the network security element. Such an initialization identifies the security device as being operational upon the network and further provides the security device with essential parameters of the network, including the location of the processes and the network security element. | 05-21-2009 |
