ABSTRACT:
A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for enhancing the security of a message sent through a network server from a client computer to a destination server running any computer platform. Credentials for authorizing a principal are obtained by the client computer from a validation center. The principal-authentication information is transmitted to the network server. The network server may use the principal-authenticating information to obtain permission data from the validation center for use in accessing the destination server. Also described is a method of providing a remote interactive login connection using the same method.
