Abstract

In a method and system for increasing security when accessing a business system, a generic hub receives a request having a first transfer protocol from a user to access an application or application data maintained in an application server. In response to the user request, the generic hub verifies the authorization of the user to access the application server. If the user is authorized, a user interface to the application is presented to the user and input data is received from the user interface. The input data is checked for validity based on application-specific metadata and type checks bound to this metadata associated with fields in the user interface, and any extraneous or non-expected data is removed from the input data. The input data and user request of a first transfer protocol are tunneled to the application using a second transfer protocol.
