This invention describes a software system called a "trusted tunnel bridge" designed to help applications in one network securely send data to devices in another network. It works by first establishing a secure, authenticated connection with an application, then receiving its data, and finally forwarding that data directly to the intended device. The claims specifically focus on scenarios where the first network is protected by a firewall.
Why it matters: Filed before Zero Trust Architecture became a dominant security paradigm. This invention's focus on authenticated channels and direct, secure data delivery aligns well with current best practices for securing highly distributed and multi-cloud environments.
