Abstract
A disclosed security broker receives a request message addressed to a message queue associated with an edge resource, identifies the message source, and leverages an authentication module to verify that the source has authorization to access the targeted message queue. The security broker may then deliver the request message to the targeted edge resource message queue. If the edge resource and security broker are physically isolated, the security broker may format the request message as a file, store the file to a storage device, and transfer the storage device to the edge resource, which may then process the file and upload the request message to the edge resource's message queue module. The security broker also monitors a response message from the edge resource, purges sensitive data from the response. If the broker and cloud resource are physically isolated, the response may be formatted and delivered as a file.
