(en) proxy

An application that “breaks” the connection between client and server. The proxy accepts certain types of traffic entering or leaving a network and processes it and forwards it.

Note: This effectively closes the straight path between the internal and external networks making it more difficult for an attacker to obtain internal addresses and other details of the organization’s internal network. Proxy servers are available for common Internet services; for example, a Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) proxy used for Web access, and a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) proxy used for e-mail. [CNSSI_4009:2010]

(en) proxy agent

A software application running on a firewall or on a dedicated proxy server that is capable of filtering a protocol and routing it between the interfaces of the device. [CNSSI_4009:2010]

(en) proxy server

A server that services the requests of its clients by forwarding those requests to other servers. [CNSSI_4009:2010]

2. (I) A computer process --often used as, or as part of, a firewall-- that relays application transactions or a protocol between client and server computer systems, by appearing to the client to be the server and appearing to the server to be the client. (See: SOCKS.)

(fr) Proxy

Service qui sépare la communication entre un réseau local et un réseau externe. Le proxy sert de filtre et de protection d'adressage direct de communication permettant de cacher la topologie du réseau local aux utilisateurs du réseau externe et interdisant ces derniers à entrer en communication directe avec des machines du réseau local. Le proxy permet également de concentrer les accès en provenance de plusieurs machines du réseau local vers différents services sur des machines du réseau externe, on garantie ainsi une facilité dans la gestion de la sécurité des communications sortantes en n'autorisant grâce au firewall qu'une seule machine à accéder au réseau externe et non pas individuellement chaque machine du réseau local.
