ABSTRACT:
This invention provides methods and apparatus for enabling access to restricted information contained at a semi-trusted web-server. Restricted information is information that is only available to a selected group of authorized clients. A client desiring access to the restricted information authenticates itself with a trusted web-server, and obtains a client credential. The client then contacts the semi-trusted web-server with the credential and obtains access to the restricted content. The restricted information may be encrypted at the semi-trusted web-server, so that the restricted information is secure even if the semi-trusted web-server is not completely secure.
