  • System and method for transaction access control
    Patent number: 6980989
    Abstract: A computer implemented system controls transaction access of requester applications running on end-user computers having network protocol addresses, to internal applications and their associated transactions running in internal transaction areas of host computer systems. Related to each network protocol address, a requester database contains information related to each network protocol address including end-user identification, possible username and password and instructions, possible priority levels of select transactions, and authorized transactions. A listener listens for a connect request from one of the end-user computers. A validator, using the requester database, determines whether the end-user computer has a valid network protocol address.
