Various methods and systems for securing communications with enhanced media platforms, are provided. In particular, an enhanced media platform is authenticated using a trusted location. The authenticated enhanced media platform establishes a bidirectional trust with an enhanced remote location, the enhanced media platform being stored in the enhanced remote location. Upon authentication and establishing the bidirectional trust, the enhanced media platform may securely communicate media content in a media content distribution service infrastructure while supporting custom functionality. The method for securing communications with enhanced media platforms includes communicating authentication credentials to an internal security component at the trusted location. The method further includes receiving validation credentials from the internal security component. The method also includes authenticating the enhanced remote location based on at least a portion of the validation credentials received. The method further includes establishing the bidirectional trust relationship with the enhanced remote location using the validation credentials.

Securing communications with enhanced media platforms

Cooperative interaction of a message processor and an intermediation processor. The message processor processes messages received from a network and to be sent over a network. The intermediation processor intermediates between the message processor and the network using a shared memory that includes a memory portion that is within the address space of the message processor. The message processor writes messages into the memory portion over a physical channel and reads message from the memory portion over the physical channel. The intermediation processor provides messages received from a network into the memory portion so that the received messages can be read by the message processor over the physical channel. The intermediation processor dispatches messages written to the memory portion by the message processor over the network.
