Abstract
The system, method and apparatus for securing network data of the present invention provide security for internal networks by utilizing a common storage element for the exchange of data between the external and internal components, without creating a concurrent session between the external and internal components. In addition, when the protocol of the external network is Internet Protocol (IP), the protocol used for the internal network may be a non-IP messaging protocol that is a more secure protocol than IP, and insulates the internal network from the type of attacks that are common in IP networks. These security measures may be implemented without a significant change to the hardware or software elements of the internal or external networks, and, therefore, without adding significant cost to the network administration and without the network performance degradation that is characteristic of conventional security measures.
