The SafeMashups Cloud Trust Broker

What security protocol do two SUs use to mutually authenticate and establish a secure pipe? What should the protocol look like if each such session between two SUs is to be mediated by a third party trust broker? Well, it would look exactly like MashSSL run between three web applications! The SafeMashups Cloud Trust Broker uses MashSSL in this fashion to broker communication between any two SUs.

The product essentially sits in the middle and mediates traffic directly. Here the CTB is the FITM of the MashSSL protocol, and the initiating SU is the Client, and the other SU the Server. The CTB is currently purely ACL driven, and is expected to become rule driven in due course. Please contact info AT safemashups.com for more information about the product.
