In certain embodiments, a method includes receiving a message at a first network interface of a first node. The first network interface communicates with a first network while a second network interface communicates with a second network. The method includes determining a set of expected tokens and an expected order of tokens. A plurality of tokens are accessed that were generated for the message, each of the plurality of tokens associated with a policy service of a plurality of policy services. The method includes generating a plurality of decrypted tokens from the plurality of tokens using a first parameter associated with the plurality of policy services and validating the decrypted tokens by comparing the decrypted tokens to the set of expected tokens. In response to validating the decrypted tokens and determining that the decrypted tokens are in the expected order, an approval is generated.

Validating network communications

In certain embodiments, a method includes accessing a template, the template comprising a plurality of static portions and a plurality of dynamic portions. A first set of parameters associated with a first node are accessed. The method includes generating a first set of instructions that configure a device to communicate with the first node. The first set of instructions includes the static portions and the first set of parameters. The first set of parameters are arranged according to the plurality of dynamic portions. A second set of parameters associated with a second node are accessed. The method includes generating a second set of instructions that include the static portions and the second set of parameters. The second set of parameters are arranged according to the plurality of dynamic portions. The first set of instructions and the second set of instructions include Business Process Execution Language.

Automated workflow generation

In certain embodiments, a method includes receiving from a validation system a request to apply a first policy service to a message. The validation system determines whether the message may be transmitted to a second network by validating a plurality of tokens associated with the message. The method includes receiving at least one result from a policy service engine of applying the first policy service to the message and determining at least one predefined assertion based on the received at least one result. The message includes generating a first token by encrypting the at least one predefined assertion using a first parameter associated with the first service node and not the second service node. The method includes sending the message and the first token to the validation system.
