  • Secure inter-zone data communication
    Patent number: 9294440
    Abstract: A proxy receives a message from a computing system in a trusted secure zone directed to a computing system outside the trusted secure zone. The proxy determines if the message includes trusted data. If the message includes trusted data, the proxy stores the trusted data for later use and provides the message to the destination computing system. When the proxy receives a message from a computing system outside the trusted secure zone directed to a computing system in the trusted secure zone, the proxy determines if the received message contains trusted data. If the message contains trusted data, the proxy determines if the trusted data matches previously stored trusted data. If the trusted data does not match, the proxy overwrites the trusted data in the message with the previously stored trusted data. The proxy then provides the modified message to the destination computing system in the trusted secure zone.
