SecureBridge is a set of client and server components used for SSH, SFTP, FTPS, HTTP/HTTPS, SSL, WebSocket, and SignalR protocols. Our network security solution is easy to install and use: just place a few components on the form and specify the server address and user credentials to establish a secure connection.
SecureBridge uses SSH or SSL protocols and encrypted message syntax to protect any TCP communication, providing authentication, powerful data encryption, and data integrity verification for both clients and servers. Its components can be used in conjunction with data access components to prevent data interception or modification in untrusted networks.
SecureBridge in a Nutshell
To ensure data security in insecure networks, attention must be paid to data protection and integrity, as well as the identification of data recipients. Therefore, before placing data in an unsafe area, it should be encrypted first. On the other hand, data should be decrypted.
Simply add a few components to the application to implement secure clients and servers using SecureBridge. This will not affect its architecture or add any external dependencies. SecureBridge can also create separate secure client and server applications to protect connections between trusted networks.
Main features
- Delphi SSH client and server
SecureBridge can be used as a high-performance SSH server in conjunction with SSH clients such as OpenSSH or PuTTY. SSH clients can be used with other SSH servers, such as OpenSSH or WinSSHD. Connection parameter management merges multiple unprotected channels between the client and server into one protected connection.
- Delphi SFTP client and server
SFTP is a network protocol used to access, transfer, and manage files on remote systems through untrusted networks. It supports the same authentication methods available in SSH. SecureBridge has components that allow you to use it as an SFTP client or create your own SFTP server for secure file downloads.
The SSL client and server are embedded in the application. This application calls the methods of the embedded SSL client to encrypt and send data. The SecureBridge SSL client can be used with other applications through TLS 1.0-1.3 and SSL 3.0 protocols. The SSL client verifies the server certificate and encrypts or decrypts data transmitted over the network.
FTPS extends the FTP protocol packaged with TLS and SSL to securely transfer files between client applications and servers. FTPS uses server-side public key authentication certificates and client authorization certificates. SecureBridge provides components that allow you to create FTPS clients.
HTTP is a protocol that serves as the foundation for any data exchange on the web between a client (usually a web browser) and a server that hosts resources such as HTML documents. HTTPS is a secure version of HTTP that uses SSL/TLS protocols. SecureBridge provides components for implementing HTTP/HTTPS clients. You can develop REST applications using the TScHttpWebRequest component.
The WebSocket protocol provides a full duplex communication channel through a single TCP connection through a persistent connection between the server and the client. SecureBridge provides a component that implements the functionality of a WebSocket client and allows for connection to the server without using any third-party libraries.
SignalR is a client/server communication protocol that adds real-time web functionality to applications. As long as the content is available, the server can push it to connected clients without waiting for the client to request data. With the components of SecureBridge, you can implement SignalR functionality for Delphi applications.
- CMS (Encrypted Message Syntax)
CMS is the standard for password protected emails. This syntax is used to digitally sign, digest, verify, or encrypt the content of any message between the client and server. The CMS protocol defines encapsulation syntax for data protection. Our component implements CMS for data protection.
Why choose SecureBridge?
- Fully supports SSH2 and TLS 1.0-1.3 protocols
Our components support SSL and TLS (reliable data encryption protocol). SSL is a widely used protocol used to ensure the security of financial operations on the Internet. Any network resource involving money can use SSL/TLS to protect its operation. SecureBridge also supports the SSH2 protocol, an industry Data Encryption Standard.
- Data protection and encryption solutions
SecureBridge can protect the transmitted data from various attacks. It uses Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithms, asymmetric cryptographic techniques such as RSA and elliptic curves, hash algorithms such as SHA2, and reliable random number generators. The information is encrypted using symmetric algorithms such as AES-256, AES-128, pufferfish, 3-DES.
- Cross platform solution for Delphi and C++Builder
A high-performance and feature rich component library provides a cross platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs and versions (including community versions): RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (FPC) on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
- Support for third-party components
SecureBridge supports the Internet Direct component (Indy) and the data access components of MySQL and PostgreSQL (MyDAC, PgDAC, UniDAC). This allows you to implement all the advantages of encrypted connections in a single application without the need for any external files.
