Abstract
A method for establishing trusted communication between a client and a server is described. The method is implemented by a computer system. A response is received from a first server. An internet protocol address of the first server is compared with at least one internet protocol address within a list. The response is validated if the internet protocol address of the first server is included within the list. Trusted communication is established between the client and the first server. The trusted communication includes assigning an internet protocol address provided by the response to the client.
