Abstract

A method for securing data in a tamper resistant fashion on a computer connected to a network. The presence of a user on a network is established using one protocol with routine operations conducted by the user on the network using a second protocol. Public and private key encryption is used to establish the validity of both the user and the server on the network user on the network. Keys are passed only after verification of the authenticity of the user on the network.
