| Summary: | A client application (
16
) establishes in a client network (
10
), a first connection having a first security level, directly with a first port (
1
) of a server application (
17
) hosted in a server machine (
13
) linked to a server network (
11
), in order to send messages addressed to the server machine (
13
). The messages pass from the client network (
10
) to the server network (
11
) through a network layer (CR) of a gateway machine (
9
). In the gateway machine, a secure application proxy reroutes the messages from the first connection, in a way that is transparent for the client application, and establishes a second connection having a second security level with the server application; the second connection is unknown to the client application. |
