Abstract

A secure method for requesting resources in a distributed computer network is described. The method comprises of a means of securely integrating a request for a resource along with its validation and authentication from a first server with restrictions for the request such as expiry date and IP address as well as other request parameters. The resulting request is placed on a second server which is capable of decoding and responding to the request or redirects the request securely to a third computer to respond.
