Process for encrypted login to a secure computer network, for the creation of a session of encrypted communications between computers and a device including a mobile phone logged into a network, for the persistence of encrypted communications between communication devices, and for the termination of communications

Abstract

A method for users of devices including mobile phones and computers to engage in encrypted communications with other devices using asymmetrical key exchange technology, involving the user of a device first creating a password and then at a later time re-entering that password on the device, with the result that when the password is re-entered the device is able to decrypt a set of software components that are required for a fresh session of encrypted communications.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for securing a signal passing between a communication device and a server, comprising a step of: including, on at least two occasions, a password associated with the communication device in the signal, where the signal has been encrypted using asymmetric key encryption. 
     
     
         2 . The method as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a step of: including a location identifier for the communication device in the signal, in order to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         3 . The method as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising a step of: including a device identifier for the communication device in the signal, in order to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         4 . The method as recited in  claim 3 , further comprising a step of: including a server identifier for the server in the signal, in order to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         5 . The method as recited in  claim 4 , further comprising a step of: including a connection identifier, associated with a connection between the server and the communication device, in the signal, in order to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         6 . The method as recited in  claim 5 , further comprising a step of: including a session identifier, associated with a session occurring between the server and the communication device, in the signal, in order to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         7 . The method as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising a step of: randomizing the communication device's display screen for purposes of entry of the password, in order to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         8 . A computer system further comprising:
 a server;   means for storing data used by the server;   means for asymmetrically encrypting a signal that passes between the server and a communication device connected to the server;   means for authenticating the signal using a password that has been passed to the server from the communication device on at least two occasions.   
     
     
         9 . The system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the means for storing data contains a location identifier for the communication device, wherein the location identifier is used to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         10 . The system as recited in  claim 9 , wherein the means for storing data contains a device identifier for the communication device, where the device identifier is used to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         11 . The system as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the means for storing data contains a server identifier for the server, where the server identifier is used to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         12 . The system as recited in  claim 11 , wherein the means for storing data contains a connection identifier associated with a connection between the server and the communication device, where the connection identifier is used to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         13 . The system recited in  claim 12 , where the means for storing data contains a session identifier associated with a session occurring between the server and the communication device, where the session identifier is used to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         14 . The system as recited in  claim 13 , wherein the communication device contains means for randomizing the device's display screen for purposes of entry of the password, where the password is used to authenticate the signal. 
     
     
         15 . The system as recited in  claim 14 , further comprising means for biometrically authenticating the signal. 
     
     
         16 . The system as recited in  claim 15 , further comprising means for terminating communication between the communication device and the server if the signal is not authenticated. 
     
     
         17 . A computer system further comprising:
 means for determining location of a communication device connected to the system;   wherein the system is secured using asymmetric key encryption.   
     
     
         18 . The computer system as recited in  claim 17 , further comprising:
 means for securing the system using a device identifier for the communication device.   
     
     
         19 . The computer system as recited in  claim 18 , further comprising:
 means for randomizing the communication device's display screen for purposes of entering a password into the communication device, in order to secure the computer system.   
     
     
         20 . A computer system further comprising means for randomizing the system's password entry display in such a way as to secure the system.
