Method of masking the processing of an access request to a server and corresponding system

摘要

The method involves removing specific header field of an access request message for masking application processing provided by successive intermediate proxy servers. A masked request message comprising source and destination IP addresses, which represent client and server addresses, respectively, is reconstructed. The masked request message is sent from a masking module towards one server to process the message. An independent claim is also included for a module of masking application processing of an access request transmitted by a client workstation connected to the server through successive proxy servers of a IP network, and a response transmitted by the server towards the client workstation.
