Abstract
An extended enterprise browser supports using at least two different authentication certificates depending on factors such as a ransomware risk posture. Secure user access may be provided by using a trusted platform module to encrypt/decrypt the authentication certificates based on a secret key generated based on information from the trusted platform module and the extended enterprise browser. Man-in-the Middle (MITM) attacks of the authentication certificated by ransomware is prevented.
