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 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.

Communicating results of validation services

A method for processing data streams from multiple data sources comprises receiving a data stream from a data source. A data template is dynamically selected, the data template comprising at least one data template region. A data region of the data stream is selected based on one of the data template regions. At least a portion of the data region is mapped to an intermediate data store based on the data template region. The mapped portion of the data region is extracted and stored in the intermediate data store.
