Abstract

Systems and methods for secure communications over broadband datalinks are provided. In certain implementations, a system for providing secure communications through a communication link includes a first communication unit that includes a processing unit that is configured to execute code that causes the first communication unit to verify messages with a firewall as they are received by the first communication unit; remove encapsulation data that encapsulates a message received from a second communication unit; check a digital signature appended to the message received from a second communication unit through a non-secure communication link; perform an integrity check on the message; and when the message is verified through the digital signature and the integrity check, process the message; wherein removal of the encapsulation data and implementation of the firewall is in a first partition and performance of the integrity check and verification of the digital signature is in a second partition.
