Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for the secure creation and distribution of instructions to support network applications is provided. The system allows nodes within a network to transform from the functionality of a “client” into a “server” with no residual legacy information being discernable by the new function and vice-versa. The method and product function as a browser, built directly onto the network's transport-network layer protocol (e.g., TCP/IP) that does not require pre-defined formats for the presentation of any page, segment, unit, or quantity of information, and without regard as to the information type or category. Therefore, the present invention serves as a network operating platform (or engine) for service providers to offer network-based (e.g., Internet-based) application programs to their clients.
