Abstract:
1. A pluggable trust adapter architecture system for processing communications, comprising: a first interceptor for receiving a first communication in a first protocol from a channel router, wherein the first interceptor performs security authentication processing of the first communication; a second interceptor, located on a same system as the first interceptor, for receiving a second communication in a second protocol from the channel router, wherein the second interceptor performs security authentication processing of the second communication, wherein said second protocol and said first protocol have distinct identification of protocol types; wherein the channel router is to route the received communication to one of a plurality of interceptors based on the identification of protocol types; and wherein the first interceptor and the second interceptor are designed to perform security authentication processing of the first communication and the second communication, the first interceptor and second interceptor being accessible to the trust adapter architecture concurrently.
