Abstract
A method for secure electronic communication between one or more clients on one or more client computing devices. The method includes establishing a networked secure exchange server, where the networked secure exchange server comprises one or more secure electronic data exchange environments for communication between one or more clients. The method also includes providing, on one or more client computing devices, a client authentication interface operable to enable one or more authorized clients to access one or more of the secure electronic data exchange environments across a network, and enabling one or more of the authorized clients to exchange electronic communications through one or more secure electronic data exchange environments.
Claims16
A method for secure electronic communication between one or more clients on one or more client computing devices, the method comprising:
- establishing a secure exchange server, the secure exchange server comprising one or more secure electronic data exchange environments configured to enable secure communication between one or more clients;
- providing a client authentication interface operable to enable authentication of one or more clients on one or more secure electronic data exchange environments and to enable one or more authorized clients to access one or more of the secure electronic data exchange environments across a network;
- and
- enabling one or more of the authorized clients to exchange electronic communications through one or more secure electronic data exchange environments, wherein the authentication comprises:
- storing, in a database of the secure exchange server, client authentication data;
- receiving, from a client through a client authentication interface, login information;
- determining whether said client login information is associated with the secure electronic data exchange environment;
- if so determined, requesting further login information from the client through the client authentication interface;
- validating said further login information;
- and
- providing access to the secure electronic data exchange environment if said further login information is validated, wherein, for subsequent authentication processes through the said client authentication interface, only the further login information is required to enable the client to access the secure electronic data exchange environment.
8 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- establish a secure exchange server, the secure exchange server comprising one or more secure electronic data exchange environments configured to enable secure communication between one or more clients;
- provide a client authentication interface operable to enable authentication of one or more clients on one or more secure electronic data exchange environments and to enable one or more authorized clients to access one or more of the secure electronic data exchange environments across a network;
- and
- enable one or more of the authorized clients to exchange electronic communications through one or more secure electronic data exchange environments, wherein the authentication comprises:
- storing, in a database of the secure exchange server, client authentication data;
- receiving, from a client through a client authentication interface, login information;
- determining whether said client login information is associated with the secure electronic data exchange environment;
- if so determined, requesting further login information from the client through the client authentication interface;
- validating said further login information;
- and
- providing access to the secure electronic data exchange environment if said further login information is validated, wherein, for subsequent authentication processes through the said client authentication interface, only the further login information is required to enable the client to access the secure electronic data exchange environment.
8 more elements
A computer system comprising:
- a data storage device;
- and
- a processor device coupled to the data storage device and configured to:
- establish a secure exchange server, the secure exchange server comprising one or more secure electronic data exchange environments configured to enable secure communication between one or more clients;
- provide a client authentication interface operable to enable authentication of one or more clients on one or more secure electronic data exchange environments and to enable one or more authorized clients to access one or more of the secure electronic data exchange environments across a network;
- and
- enable one or more of the authorized clients to exchange electronic communications through one or more secure electronic data exchange environments, wherein the authentication comprises:
- storing, in a database of the secure exchange server, client authentication data;
- receiving, from a client through a client authentication interface, login information;
- determining whether said client login information is associated with the secure electronic data exchange environment;
- if so determined, requesting further login information from the client through the client authentication interface;
- validating said further login information;
- and
- providing access to the secure electronic data exchange environment if said further login information is validated, wherein, for subsequent authentication processes through the said client authentication interface, only the further login information is required to enable the client to access the secure electronic data exchange environment.
