Abstract
Provided is a private and secure network that uses an authentication mechanism with a uniquely assigned private IP address and network credentials issued as part of a VPN certificate exchange. A first layer of authentication establishes a secure tunnel between user and VPN server, and a second layer of authentication connects that secure tunnel to the web site or resource, without passing the VPN certificate. Once authenticated, interaction between website or resource and user are automatically monitored for abnormal or malicious behavior and, if required, automatic verification and authentication response is generated.
