A secure shared memory interface for computer application processes is described. In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a shared memory interface between a master application process instance and a slave application process instance running on a computer. The method also includes allocating one or more regions within a memory allocation of the slave application process instance to the shared memory interface. The method further includes generating a first descriptor ring and a second descriptor ring in each region of the one or more regions of the shared memory interface. The master application process instance and the slave application process instance exchange information by adding one or more packets to at least one region of the one or more regions of the shared memory interface.
