Abstract
A method of secure communication is provided. The method can include translating between a first and second communication protocol. The first communication protocol can include a TLS protocol, IMAP, HTTP or HTTPS, a Quantum Secure Layer (QSL) protocol, a Post-Quantum TLS (PQTLS) protocol, a hybrid protocol, or another secure protocol. The second communication protocol can differ from the first communication protocol. The translating can comply with standards of the two protocols, for example a unicity standard, while also providing communication universality.
Claims40
A method of secure communication, comprising translating between a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, wherein:
- the first communication protocol comprises at least one of:
- a Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 or greater protocol;
- an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP);
- a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS);
- a Quantum Secure Layer (QSL) protocol;
- a Post-Quantum TLS (PQTLS) protocol;
- a hybrid protocol;
- or
- another secure protocol;
- the second communication protocol differs from the first communication protocol;
- and
- the translating complies with standards of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol.
A computing system configured to communicate securely, the computing system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to translate between a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, wherein:
- the first communication protocol comprises at least one of:
- a Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 or greater protocol;
- an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP);
- a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS);
- a Quantum Secure Layer (QSL) protocol;
- a Post-Quantum TLS (PQTLS) protocol;
- a hybrid protocol;
- or
- another secure protocol;
- and
- the second communication protocol differs from the first communication protocol;
- and
- to translate between the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol complies with standards of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable sequences of instructions to communicate securely, the executable sequences of instructions comprising instructions to translate between a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, wherein:
- the first communication protocol comprises at least one of:
- a Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 or greater protocol;
- an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP);
- a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS);
- a Quantum Secure Layer (QSL) protocol;
- a Post-Quantum TLS (PQTLS) protocol;
- a hybrid protocol;
- or
- another secure protocol;
- and
- the second communication protocol differs from the first communication protocol;
- and
- to translate between the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol complies with standards of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol.
