System and method for asynchronously reading data across secure sockets layer sessions

摘要

A system and method for asynchronously reading data across secure sockets layer (SSL) sessions, comprising: an SSL session receiving a request from a first application process for an asynchronous reading of data across the SSL session wherein the request specifies a second application program to be executed upon the receiving of data from an Internet protocol network; the SSL session passing the request to TCP/IP; TCP/IP receiving data from an Internet protocol network; TCP/IP executing the second application program as a new process; TCP/IP passing the received data to the SSL session; and the SSL session passing the received data to the second application process.
