Methods and systems for providing and controlling cryptographic secure communications across unsecured networks

A system for providing secure access to network resources, the system comprising:

• a provisioning utility defining one or more communities of interest, each community of interest including one or more users and associated with a key;
• an authorization server configured to establish a secure connection to a client computing device using a service key, and, upon authorizing a user at the client computing device, transmit to the client computing device, for each community of interest including an identified user of the client computing device:
• an identity of a customer enclave;
• and
• a key associated with a community of interest including the identified user of the client computing device, the community of interest including computing resources included in the customer enclave.

A computer-readable medium comprising computer executable instructions which, when executed, cause a distributed computing system to perform a method of providing secure access to network resources, the method comprising:

• defining in a provisioning utility one or more communities of interest, each community of interest including one or more users, or groups of users, and associated with a key;
• providing a service key to a client computing device, the service key useable to establish a secure connection to a service enclave, the service enclave including an authorization server;
• and
• transmitting from the authorization server, for each community of interest including an identified user of the client computing device:
• an identity of a customer enclave;
• and
• a key associated with a community of interest including the identified user of the client computing device, the community of interest including computing resources included in the customer enclave.
