Secure network connections

A computer program product, comprising one or more computer readable hardware storage devices having computer readable program code stored therein, said program code containing instructions executable by one or more processors of proxy system of a computer system to implement a method for connecting a computing device to a computing arrangement, said method comprising:

• determining, by the one or more processors based on an address in a message specifying the computing arrangement, that a secure connection between the proxy system and the computing arrangement does not exist, wherein the secure connection is dedicated for secure communication between the computing device and the comprising arrangement;
• and
• in response to said determining having determined that the secure connection does not exist, establishing, by the one or more processors, a new secure connection between the proxy system and the computing arrangement, wherein said establishing the new secure connection comprises instantiating a container, and initiating an establishment of the secure connection by a protocol entity deployed within the container, wherein the container is a virtual software object that encompasses all of the elements that are needed for an application to run within an operating system, which enables isolation of the container from one or more additional containers running within an operating system.

A computer system, comprising a proxy system, said proxy system comprising one or more processors, one or more memories, and one or more computer readable hardware storage devices, said one or more hardware storage device containing program code executable by the one or more processors via the one or more memories to implement a method for connecting computing device to a computing arrangement, said method comprising:

• determining, by the one or more processors based on an address in a message specifying the computing arrangement, that a secure connection between the proxy system and the computing arrangement does not exist, wherein the secure connection is dedicated for secure communication between the computing device and the computing arrangement;
• and
• in response to said determining having determined that the secure connection does not exist, establishing, by the one or more processors, a new secure connection between the proxy system and the computing arrangement, wherein said establishing the new secure connection comprises instantiating a container, and initiating an establishment of the secure connection by a protocol entity deployed within the container, wherein the container is a virtual software object that encompasses all of the elements that are needed for an application to run within an operating system, which enables isolation of the container from one or more additional containers running within an operating system.
