Secure push and status communication between client and server

摘要

Systems and methods of authentication and authorization between a client, a server, and a gateway to facilitate communicating a message between a client and a server through a gateway. The client has a trusted relationship with each of the gateway and the server. A method includes registering the client with the gateway. The client also constructs the address space identifying the gateway and the client. The client communicates the address space to the server. The client receives an identity identifying the server. If the client authorizes to receive a message from the server through the gateway, the client informs the authorization to the gateway. The client puts the identity identifying the server on a list of servers which are authorized to send messages to the client. In addition, the client communicates the list of servers to the gateway.
