Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for translating diagramming data from a diagramming tool into implementation data for direct implementation by an implementation tool for implementing a component, and for translating the implementation data back into the diagramming data for direct visualization by the diagramming tool. The diagramming tool generates the diagramming data. A translating tool receives the diagramming data, reads, validates, and translates it directly into the implementation data, and saves the implementation data in an export file. The implementation tool receives the export file and uses the implementation data to implement the component. The translating tool can also translate the implementation data directly back into the diagramming data, and save the diagramming data in an import file. The diagramming tool receives the import file and uses the diagramming data to visualize the diagram of the component.

Abstract: Networks and methods for use in authenticating messages are provided. One exemplary method generally includes receiving a message from a client, where the message includes a client certificate. The method also includes validating, by an application programming interface (API) gateway, a computing device based on a certificate identifying the computing device as a recognized computing device, and validating, by the API gateway, the client based on the client certificate via a global access manager, separate from the repository. The method further includes causing a security token indicative of the client to be generated, when the computing device and the client are validated, whereby the security token is indicative of the client and permits the message, from the client, to be delivered to one or more backend services.
