A system for and method of protecting a resource is presented. The system and method include a trusted pair consisting of an initiator and a receiver. The receiver faces outward and is connected to a network, such as the Internet. The initiator is connected to the protected resource. In establishing a connection between the initiator and the receiver, the initiator initiates all communications. This configuration simplifies environment management, improves security including access controls, and facilitates deployment of internet-facing resources by changing the traditional model of component-to-component connection. |
