Abstract
A symmetric, cross-platform, bridge component is described herein. The bridge component creates an interface (through a set of application programming interfaces (APIs)) to enable the sending of data between a pair of components, called 'endpoints,' a first endpoint component of the pair being executed in a kernel mode of a computing device, and a second endpoint component of the pair being executed in a user mode of the computing device. A process for sending data between a kernel-level endpoint component and a user-level endpoint component executing on a computing device involves opening a communications port, setting the communications port to a connected state, and sending a message containing the data via the communications port. Data may be transmitted in this manner between the user mode and the kernel mode of the computing device in either direction.
