Abstract
A secure remote access computing system for executing tasks on a secure private network requested by an unsecured remote computing device connected to the secure private network by way of a public communication network, without exposing any device in the secure private network other than a designated network interface device to the public communication network. The network interface device dynamically generates a custom program containing the necessary network data and user interfaces and verifies the security privileges for the remote computing device, so that a remote user can define the task being executed on the private network by way of the secure network interface device surrogate. The unsecured remote computing device and the secure network interface device communicate by accepted conventions of protocols and commands that are well known and used by other users of the public communication network.
