Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance secure communications between computing systems. In one implementation, a private domain name system (DNS) receives a DNS lookup request from a computing system of a plurality of computing systems associated with a private communication group, and forwards the DNS lookup request to a public DNS. The private DNS further receives a public address associated with the DNS lookup request from the public DNS, translates the public address to a private address, and transfers the private address to the requesting computing system.

Secure domain name system to support a private communication service

Described herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance secure communications between computing systems. In one implementation, a communication service identifies a communication request from an application on the computing system to transfer data to a second application on a second computing system. In response to the communication request, the communication service identifies a communication group of a plurality of communication groups associated with the application and the second application. Once the communication group is identified, the communication service identifies a communication quality of service based on the identified communication group, and transfers the data associated with the communication request to the second computing system in accordance with the communication quality of service.

Enhanced quality of service management for inter-computing system communication

The present disclosure envisages establishing a virtual overlay network between the source computer and the destination computer (in addition to a typical, unsecured, public computer network already connecting the source computer and the destination computer), and designating the source computer and destination computer to be identified on the virtual overlay network only by the corresponding source private IP address and destination private IP address. The present disclosure envisages an intermediary server for creating and subsequently managing the virtual overlay network. The intermediary server renders the virtual overlay network accessible only to the source computer and the destination computer to communicate with one another and to exchange data packets using the source private IP address and destination private address and the corresponding private ports, while ensuring that the virtual overlay network remains inaccessible to any other computer on the underlying public computer network.

System and method for enhancing the security of data packets exchanged across a computer network

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.

Enhanced packet formating for security inter-computing system communication

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.
