ABSTRACT:
A request for secure data sent from a client computer2to a webtsite server computer4is redirected to a proxy computer6. A secure connection is established with the proxy computer6using a protocol such as HTTP and Certificate Exchange. The proxy computer6then establishes its own secure connection with the website server4. The data requested is passed in encrypted form from the website server computer4to the proxy computer6. The proxy computer6decrypts this data and then scans it for illegal content, such as computer viruses, worms, Trojans, banned computer files, banned words, banned combinations of words or banned images and the like. Providing no illegal content is found, the data is encrypted again for transfer over the secure link between the proxy computer6and the client computer2. The proxy computer6may conveniently be the firewall computer within a local area network.
