Title: Payload assurance at a network boundary
Inventor: PAUL THOMAS MCCOMBES
IPC: H04L9/40
Filed: 2020-07-16
Abstract: A payload assurance system and method for a payload X having a header H which is to be transferred across a network boundary 2 via at least one predetermined boundary control device (BCD) 3. The system provides an electronic authorisation token for authorising properties of the payload to be transferred, the electronic authorisation token comprising at least one entropy element for ensuring that multiple electronic authorisation tokens authorising the same payload properties are unique. A Central Release Authority (CRA) 7 may create an ephemeral identity for the BCD using an authorisation token and permanent identity information which is associated with the BCD. A sender 6 may request transfer of the ephemeral identity and create an export or import header for an approved payload in dependence upon it. A boundary transfer assessment step may be provided at the network boundary, for indirectly determining whether the payload possesses the authorisation token, using the payload header. The advantage of the invention is that it provides payload assurances relating to suitability of egress data at a cross domain boundary, that the data is appropriately authorised for cross domain transfer and provides ephemeral authorisation which is agile to time variations.
