METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURE NETWORK COMMUNICATION

Abstract

Methods and systems for executing a communication protocol are provided. One method includes receiving, by a security module of a first computing device, an API call to authenticate a certificate received from a second computing device to establish a communication session between the computing devices; selecting, by the security module, an authentication module to authenticate the certificate; generating, by an encryption module of the security module, a shared secret key for the communication session based on a private key of the first computing device and a public key of the second computing device; encrypting, by the encryption module, the shared secret key using an algorithm negotiated between the first computing device and the second computing device; generating, by the security module, an encrypted message for the second computing device; and transmitting, by the first computing device, the encrypted shared secret key and message to the second computing device.
