ABSTRACT:
A Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card may establish, via a non-secure network, a secure communications channel between a computer and a secure network. The non-secure network may define a first address space. The secure network may define a second address space. The PCMCIA card may include a cryptography module, a network adapter, and/or a processor. The cryptography module may provide Type 1 cryptography of data communicated between the computer and the secure network. The network adapter may be in communication with the non-secure network and may be associated with a first network address from the first address space. The processor may be in communication with the secure network via the cryptography module and the network adapter. The processor may identify a second network address for the computer from the second address space and may communicate the second network address to the computer, for example via dynamic host control protocol (DHCP).
