Application Gateway

The document discusses Application Gateways, which act as proxy servers allowing internal users to connect to remote hosts securely by managing user credentials and traffic. It highlights their advantages over packet filters and mentions the potential for connection overhead. Additionally, it introduces Circuit Gateways as a variation that creates hidden connections, masking internal user IP addresses.

Application Gateway

Application Gateway

• Also called proxy server


• Internal user contacts app gateway using TCP/IP applications such as
HTTP TELNET etc.
• App Gateway asks the user the remote host to which the user want to
establish connection.
• Asks user id, password required to access the services of the
application gateway.
• User Provides this information.
• Application gateway now access the remote host on behalf of the
user.
• Hence it acts like a proxy and delivers packet from the user to remote
host and vise versa.
Application Gateway

• More secure than packet filters.


• Here we are checking user instead of each packet.
• Application gateway has to manage two set of connections and traffic
going between them.
• May cause connection overhead.
• Also called bastion host.
Application Gateway
Circuit Gateway
Circuit Gateway
Circuit Gateway
• Variation of application gateway
• Creates a new connection between remote host and itself
• User is not aware of above connection
• Circuit gateway changes the source ip address in packet to its own ip
address.
• IP address of internal users are hidden from outside world
• SOCKS server is commercial example
