Claim 12:
13. A method for securing access to a network asset using an active fully qualified domain name having a unique and temporary hostname, the method comprising:
for each cycle corresponding to a time period where the active fully qualified domain names having the unique and temporary hostname remains active before expiring, performing the steps of:
generating the unique and temporary hostname by combining a shared secret key and a time at generation representing Universal Time as a string;
appending the hostname to a domain name associated with the corresponding network asset to generate the active fully qualified domain name;
creating a corresponding virtual machine assigned to the active fully qualified domain name and acquiring the IP address associated to the virtual machine, the virtual machine being configured to operate either as a server hosting the network asset, as a reverse proxy, or as a firewall for requesting the network asset; and
creating an host record of the active fully qualified domain name and the IP address of the associated virtual machine in a Domain Name System (DNS) server associated to the active fully qualified domain name where the network asset is hosted.
