Protecting security in common trusted application

Abstract

Systems and techniques are provided for establishing a connection. For instance, a process may include receiving, by a front-end application executing on a first virtual machine of an electronic device, a request to establish a first socket connection to a back-end application, the request including a first user identifier (UID) of the front-end application and a first socket identifier; determining that the first UID matches a predetermined UID and that the first socket identifier matches a predetermined socket identifier; establishing the first socket connection to the back-end application based on the determination that the first UID matches the predetermined UID and the first socket identifier matches the predetermined socket identifier; and transmitting the request to establish the first socket connection to the back-end application to communicate with a trusted application.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
