Publication number: 20230247006Abstract: A network protocol and architecture for extending trust between cloud domains of a same entity comprises adding, by egress logic executing on a first server, authentication information to a packet leaving a first cloud domain of the entity to indicate a source of the packet. The egress logic allows the packet to traverse to a target cloud domain of the entity. Ingress logic executing on a second server at the target cloud domain intercepts the packet and performs validation of the authentication information. Responsive to the authentication information passing validation, the ingress logic determines that the first cloud domain is trusted and allows the packet to proceed to a destination. Responsive to the authentication information failing validation, the ingress logic rejects the packet.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Chaitanya PEMMARAJU, Joshua MEIER, Selim CIRACI
