Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance secure communications between computing systems. In one implementation, a communication service identifies a communication request for a first application on a first computing system to transfer data to a second application on a second computing system. In response to the request, the communication service generates a packet, wherein the packet includes an encrypted portion for the data and private addressing associated with the first and second applications, and an unencrypted portion for group identifier information and public addressing information. Once the packet is generated, the packet is transferred to the second computing system.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance gateway security for multiple communication groups. In one implementation, a method of operating a gateway service includes identifying a data packet received from a first computing system, wherein the data packet comprises a first destination port value. The method further includes, identifying a group identifier within the data packet, wherein the group identifier associated with a communication group of the plurality of communication groups, translating the first destination port value to a second destination port value based on the group identifier, and forwarding the data packet with the translated second destination port value.

Abstract: A system and method are provided that allow users of a digital collaboration service to share information in such a way that an accurate record of the information shared during the digital collaboration is captured. Furthermore, the context in which the information is being exchanged amongst users of the service can also be captured. As a result, a system in accordance to one or more embodiments of the present invention is ideally suited for digital collaboration conducted amongst potential business partners, where maintaining an accurate record of what information was shared by each party is paramount. Furthermore, the capture of contextual information makes a system in accordance to one or more embodiments of the present invention ideally suited for digital collaboration conducted amongst users that are within the same company. For example, a development team may use a digital collaboration system in accordance to the present invention to conduct meetings.
