Claim 4:
5. A method of transmitting data through a data stream between a sending application having a sending agent and a receiving application having a receiving agent comprising the steps of:
the sending agent sending a message to the receiving agent stating an intention to establish a data stream, specifying the receiving application as a target application, and enumerating authentication protocols supported by the sending agent, wherein the message includes a valid identity token;
the receiving agent determining that the target application is the application served by the receiving agent;
the receiving agent determining that the data stream requires authentication;
the receiving agent determining that the included identity token is valid;
the receiving agent sending a message to the sending agent indicating that the data stream will be transferred between the sending application and receiving application;
the sending agent providing a data stream resource or a data stream memory address to the sending application configured to allow the sending application to utilize the data stream for application data;
the receiving agent providing a data stream resource or a data stream memory address to the receiving application configured to allow the receiving application to utilize the data stream for application data; and
the sending application and the receiving application processing application data using the data stream.
