Abstract

A process for protecting accesses to at least one server (30) is characterized in that it makes it possible to protect accesses originating from user stations (2) whose destination is at least one application server through a network (42) using a multisession, multiport telecommunication protocol, said process consisting of a step for the systematic establishment of a parallel security session between the user station (2) and a security processor (1) interposed between the user station to be protected during application sessions and the server or servers (30) to be protected and a step for the cyclic initiation of security sessions.
