+# Example 4: NLAP Proxy Integration
+
+> **Note:** This example is a **template** for future implementation of NLAP Proxy Authentication integration with Python MicroESB.
+
+## Overview
+
+This example will demonstrate how to integrate Python MicroESB with the **NLAP (Network Layer Authentication Protocol) Proxy** for secure, authenticated service communication.
+
+## NLAP Proxy
+
+The NLAP Proxy is an advanced authentication and security layer for NLAP protocol communication. For more information, see the NLAP (Next Level Application Protocol) project:
+
+**External Link:** [https://github.com/WEBcodeX1/http-1.2](https://github.com/WEBcodeX1/http-1.2)
+
+### Key Security Features
+
+The NLAP Proxy implementation enforces the following security requirements:
+
+1. **Encrypted Communication Only**
+   - The proxy will **not** communicate unencrypted
+   - All traffic must use encrypted channels
+
+2. **Restricted Communication Scope**
+   - The proxy will **not** allow global communication
+   - Communication is restricted to authorized endpoints only
+
+3. **X.509 Certificate-Based Authentication**
+   - The proxy will **only** allow communication by X.509 client certificates
+   - Client authentication is mandatory for all connections
+
+## Future Implementation
+
+This example will cover:
+
+- Setting up NLAP Proxy for MicroESB services
+- Configuring X.509 client certificate authentication
+- Integrating encrypted communication channels
+- Service routing through the NLAP Proxy
+- Load balancing and service scaling with NLAP authentication
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.8 or later
+- NLAP Proxy (see external link above)
+- X.509 client and server certificates
+- Python MicroESB package
+
