Abstract

A secure communications arrangement including an endpoint is disclosed. The endpoint includes a computing system. The computing system includes a user level services component and a kernel level callout driver interfaced to the user level services component and configured to establish an IPsec tunnel with a remote endpoint. The computing system also includes a filter engine storing one or more filters defining endpoints authorized to communicate with the endpoint via the IPsec tunnel. The computing system also includes a second kernel level driver configured to establish a secure tunnel using a second security protocol different from IPsec.
