A system and method for the secure transfer of data between a workstation connected to a private network and a remote computer connected to an unsecured network. A secure computer is inserted into the private network to serve as the gateway to the unsecured network and a client subsystem is added to the workstation in order to control the transfer of data from the workstation to the secure computer. The secure computer includes a private network interface connected to the private network, an unsecured network interface connected to the unsecured network, wherein the unsecured network interface includes means for encrypting data to be transferred from the first workstation to the remote computer and a server function for transferring data between the private network interface and the unsecured network interface.

System and method for providing secure internetwork services via an assured pipeline

A proxy which is part of a firewall program controls exchanges of messages between two application entities. The proxy interrogates attempts to send a communication session by requesting entities with a server entity in accordance with defined authentication procedures. The Proxy interfaces with networking software to direct a communication stack to monitor connection messages to any address on specific ports. The requestor's address, and the server's address are extracted from the messages and checked fo compliance with a security policy such as one including an access control list. If either address is invalid, the proxy deletes the message. If both are valid, the message is relayed, and the ports used are tracked for a predetermined time. Reply messages are then sent using the address of the server entity so that the proxy is transparent to the requester.
