Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for establishing dynamic and secure peer-to-peer communications channels between terminals. A network device may intercept a connection request transmitted from a first terminal to a second terminal, over a secure network, with the connection request including a first parameter that identifies the first terminal and a second parameter that identifies the second terminal, with the first parameter and the second parameter relating to a network interface that operates according to a security protocol. The network device may then send instructions to the first terminal to establish peer-to-peer communications with the second terminal over a secured ad-hoc public network, using one or more keys provided by a central unit of that network. The keys may include an authentication key, which may be used in authenticating one or both of the terminals, and/or an encryption key, which may be used in encrypting the peer-to-peer communications.
