ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method that allows three parties to mutually authenticate each other and share an encrypted channel. The invention is based on a novel twist to the widely used two party transport level SSL protocol. One party, typically a user at a browser, acts as a man in the middle between the other two parties, typically two web servers with regular SSL credentials. The two web servers establish a standard mutually authenticated SSL connection via the user's browser, using a novel variation of the SSL handshake that guarantees that a legitimate user is in the middle.
