Abstract
Enhanced network data transmission security and individualized data transmission processing can be implemented by intermediaries in a communication path between two endpoint peers individually having the capability to identify and authenticate one or both of the endpoint peers. Communication session establishment, endpoint peer identity processing and authentication and data traffic encryption protocols are modified to allow intermediaries to track the communications between endpoint peers for a particular communication session and obtain information to authenticate the endpoint peers and identify data traffic transmitted between them. Intermediaries can use the identities of one or both of the endpoint peers to enforce identity based rules for processing data traffic between the endpoint peers for a communication session.
