Abstract
An architecture is provided for protecting service-level entities. Such an architecture may escrow service requests prior to forwarding the requests to the service, and checking may be performed prior to releasing the request to the service. A crumple zone (CZ) architecture may be provided that buffers incoming service requests and may intercept attacks and/or sustain damage in lieu of the services being protected. The CZ may include an outward interface that is accessed by other entities, and the underlying service is not accessed directly. Elements of the CZ receive service requests, analyze them, and determine whether they can be safely executed by the underlying service.
