Abstract
A pluggable trust adapter architecture that accommodates a plurality of interceptors is provided. Each interceptor is adapted to perform security processing of communications having a specific protocol. Specifically, when a communication is received, it will be routed from a channel router to a specific interceptor based on the protocol of the communication. The interceptor will then 'security' process the communication (e.g., extract data, perform verification, etc.). Once the interceptor has processed the communication, the extracted data and the communication itself will be passed to an authorization system for authorization.
