Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for enhancing the security of a message sent through a network server from a client computer to a destination server running any computer platform. Credentials for authorizing a principal are obtained by the client computer from a validation center. The principal-authentication information is transmitted to the network server. The network server may use the principal-authenticating information to obtain permission data from the validation center for use in accessing the destination server. Also described is a method of providing a remote interactive login connection using the same method.

Abstract: A system provides secure communication of commands from a client (600) to multiple hosts (1200) via a network server (700). The system receives at least one command from the client (600), initiates one or more remote execution processes (1040) for processing the at least one command, and transmits the at least one command to one or more of the hosts (1200) via the one or more remote execution processes (1040). The system obtains, from the one or more remote execution processes (1040), data associated with the one or more hosts (1200) executing the at least one command, formats the data, and sends the formatted data to the client (600).

Abstract: Method and computer network for enhanced security for applications using downloadable executable content is described. More particularly, a client is operatively coupled to an authentication server and a remote host through a gateway. In an initial login session, authentication information is provided from the client to the gateway for obtaining client-authenticating credentials from the authentication server. These client-authenticating credentials may be encoded to be in a form of a data string and provided to the client, for example as the value of an HTTP cookie. The encoded data string may be provided to the client as one or more parameter values. These parameter values may be employed along with requested downloadable executable content, such as one or more Java classes, for running on the client. The Java classes may communicate the parameter values to an execution server of the gateway for decoding the encoded data string in order to extract the client-authenticating credentials therefrom.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for enhancing the security of a message sent through a network server from a client computer to a destination server. A secure connection for receiving and transmitting data is established between the client computer and the network server. Using client-identifying information and a secure authentication protocol, the network server may then obtain client-authentication information from a validation center. The client-authentication information is transmitted to the client and erased from the network server. The network server then receives the client-authenticating information back from the client with an accompanying message for the destination server. The network server may use the client-authenticating information to obtain permission data from the validation center for use in accessing the destination server.
