Trusted tunnel bridge

This invention describes a 'trusted tunnel bridge' that acts as a secure intermediary for data moving between different computer networks. When an application in one network wants to send sensitive information to a specific device in another network, it sends a data packet containing the encrypted information to this bridge. The bridge, after verifying the sender, figures out which device in the second network is the intended recipient and then forwards the original data packet directly to that device, potentially bypassing network restrictions like firewalls.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread Zero Trust architecture adoption and the proliferation of complex multi-cloud and edge computing environments. The increased demand for secure, authenticated data transfer across disparate networks, especially with firewalls, makes this trusted intermediary concept more relevant now.
