Abstract
Various embodiments that pertain to a bridge between networks. There can be a desire for a first communication network to share messages with a second communication network. However, these networks can individually have their own security measures that make direct network-to-network communication difficult if not impossible. Therefore, a bridge can be created that allows for communication between the networks.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, communicatively coupled to a processor, configured to store a command set executable by the processor to effectuate operation of a component set, the component set comprising:
- a first engagement component configured to engage with a first communication network;
- a second engagement component configured to engage with a second communication network;
- and
- a bridge component configured to form a bridge between the first communication network and the second communication network,
- where the first communication network and the second communication network are incompatible absent the bridge,
- where the bridge effectuates communication between the first communication network and the second communication network such that the first communication network and the second communication network are compatible, and
- where the first engagement component, the second engagement component, the bridge component, or a combination thereof is implemented, at least in part, by way of non-software.
