Claim:
1. A method enabling communication over a network comprising: sending by a first computer device an electronically formatted public key to a first server; converting by the first server the electronically formatted public key into a non-electronically formatted public key; communicating by the first server the non-electronically formatted public key to a second server, wherein the second server is electrically and physically isolated from the first server via a boundary of a secure area and said communication is via a non-electrical communication format to prevent an electronic attack on the second server; converting by the second server the non-electronically formatted public key back to the electronically formatted public key; signing by the second server the electronically formatted public key as originating from the first computer device to produce a signed electronically formatted public key; converting by the second server the signed electronically formatted public key to a signed non-electronically formatted public key; communicating by the second server the signed non-electronically formatted public key to the first server, wherein said communication is via a non-electrical communication format to prevent an electronic attack on the second server; converting by the first server the signed non-electronically formatted public key to the signed electronically formatted public key; sending by the first server the signed electronically formatted public key to a second computer device; sending by the second computer device the signed electronically formatted public key to a third computer device; and establishing by the third computer device, using the signed electronically formatted public key, a signed communication link with the first computing device.
