Abstract: A method of establishing secure communications between a first computer, eg a client computer, and a second computer, eg a web server, whereby the client computer receives one or more security policies relating to the web server. A client application examines the client computer and preferably configures one or more aspects of the client computer in order to make it comply with the security policies. Once the web server receives the results of this examination and/or configuration process, it can determine whether the secure communications are to be established and whether any restrictions need to be placed on this communication and/or the activity conducted via the communication.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for detecting interference with a remote visual interface, such as a HTML webpage, at a client computer, particularly to determine if a malicious attack such as at HTML attack has occurred. When the web server receives a request for a page, a script is embedded in the page, and as a consequence the client computer requests at least one session key and at least one one time password from an enterprise server. The client computer also performs a check of the HTML interface present on the client computer, which an attack of this type would change. The result of the interface check, encrypted with the session key and one time password, is sent to the enterprise server, so that a comparison with the expected value for the website can be performed.

Abstract: A method of establishing secure communications between a first computer, eg a client computer (20), and a second computer, eg a web server (70), whereby the client computer (20) receives one or more security policies (85) relating to the web server (70). A client application (10) examines the client computer (20) and preferably configures one or more aspects of the client computer (20) in order to make it comply with the security policies (85). Once the web server (70) receives the results of this examination and/or configuration process, it can determine whether the secure communications are to be established and whether any restrictions need to be placed on this communication and/or the activity conducted via the communication.
