Abstract
An information handling system operating a local inter-process communication securing system may comprise a memory and a processor executing machine readable code instructions of the local inter-process communication securing system performing a verification process of a candidate client application to instruct the candidate client application and a server application for which the local inter-process communication securing system acts as an API to establish a first named pipe having an endpoint address randomly generated by the local inter-process communication securing system, to receive a candidate client identification and a randomly generated string of alpha-numeric characters from the server application, and to instruct the server application to establish a first communication session, via the first named pipe, with the candidate client application upon determining the candidate client identification matches an authenticated client identification and that the randomly generated string of alpha-numeric characters is associated with the authenticated client identification, as stored at the local inter-process communication securing system, to verify that the candidate client ap…
