Abstract

A device and method are provided for a device that authenticates a server over a network. The device and method are operable to contact the server to initiate a handshaking operation. The device receives certificate information and handshaking information from the server. The device completes the handshaking operations to establish the connection with the server. The device downloads the content from the server through the connection before authenticating the server to establish a secure connection. In some aspects, the device may display a portion of the downloaded content before the server is authenticated.
