Abstract: A system and method provide streamlined restricted access to a secure server through a communications network. A client identifier parameter value is established and uniquely associated with a user registering with an authentication server, and is stored in at least first and second predetermined storage forms within a data storage system, the first form readable exclusively by a client device of the user and the second form readable by the authentication server. The client device then authenticates by retrieving the client identifier parameter value from the data storage system and providing it to the authentication server, which independently retrieves the client identifier parameter value from the data storage system for comparison, and initiates an interactive communication session between the client device and the secure server responsive to the comparison. Between comparisons, the client identifier parameter values are stored exclusively on the data storage system and deleted from all other devices.
