Creating secure connections between distributed computing devices

摘要

A computing device includes: a processing unit; and memory encoding instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to: receive a request from a client computing device; establish a first secured connection to the client computing device; select a server computing device from a plurality of server computing devices to service the request from the client computing device, selection being made based, at least in part, upon load balancing considerations; establish a second secured connection to the server computing device, the second secured connection being separate from the first secured connection; and allow the client computing device to securely communicate with the server computing device through the first and second secured connections.

a computing device including:
a processing unit; andmemory encoding instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to:
receive a request from a client computing device;establish a first secured connection to the client computing device, the first secured connection being negotiated using a Mutually Authenticated Secure Sockets Layer protocol;select a server computing device from a plurality of server computing devices to service the request from the client computing device, selection being made based, at least in part, upon load balancing considerations;establish a second secured connection to the server computing device, the second secured connection being separate from the first secured connection, and the second secured connection being created by Internet Protocol filtering; andallow the client computing device to securely communicate with the server computing device through the first and second secured connections.
