Secure device and proxy for secure operation of a host data processing system

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor coupled to the memory;
• an input/output device coupled to the processor;
• wherein the processor is programmed to initiate executable operations comprising:
• generating a first proxy and a first proxy companion paired with the first proxy;
• providing the first proxy to a host data processing system for installation therein using the input/output device;
• wherein the first proxy in the host data processing system and the first proxy companion communicate;
• detecting a proxy change event for the host data processing system;
• and
• responsive to the detecting, generating a second proxy and a second proxy companion paired with the second proxy and providing the second proxy to the host data processing system for installation therein using the input/output device.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:

• generating, using the processor, a first proxy and a first proxy companion paired with the first proxy;
• providing, using the processor, the first proxy to a host data processing system for installation therein;
• wherein the first proxy in the host data processing system and the first proxy companion communicate;
• detecting, using the processor, a proxy change event for the host data processing system;
• and
• responsive to the detecting, generating, using the processor, a second proxy and a second proxy companion paired with the second proxy and providing, using the processor, the second proxy to the host data processing system for installation therein.
