Abstract
A system and method for client authentication wherein a client computing system is authenticated by at least performing, at an authentication system different than a target computing system, a set of validation operations on authorization information addressed to a destination port of the target computing system, and, as a result of the client computing system being authenticated by the set of validation operations, switching to a mode wherein a port of the target computing system is opened and data from the client computing system is communicated to the port of the target computing system.
