Development of a new server-to-server communication security approach

A crucial part of more prominent software architecture is communication among server hosts. Whether communicating with a database, a microservice, or an external service provider, integrity and confidentiality are essential guarantees that such a connection must provide. This paper aims to propose a new approach to secure the transport layer of such communications by creating a crafted protocol for this particular use case and by nullifying the need for extra measures and responsibilities that are now added at the application layer, as the analyzed state-of-the-art solutions disclose. As shown by the positive results of the already developed prototype, the authors believe this new approach can become a crucial and essential component in future server-to-server secure communications, considering how crucial secure data transmission is and will be.
