Abstract:
1. A method of providing secure access in a computing environment, comprising: a client generating a first sequence for tapping server device ports based on a client identification (ID) and generating a second sequence for tapping the server device ports based on a client password; the client connecting to a known server port, wherein the client initially connects to the known port of the server device in order to prevent multiple clients from connecting at once; the client tapping the server device ports with the first tapping sequence based on the client ID; the server device verifying if the first tapping sequence correctly matches a first expected port tapping combination for a valid client ID; the client additionally tapping the server device ports with the second tapping sequence after the client ID is verified, wherein the server detects the second tapping sequence as port access attempts; and the server device verifying if the second tapping sequence correctly matches an expected port tapping unlock combination, and authenticating the client password and granting access from the client to a predefined port of the server device if the second tapping sequence correctly matches the expected port tapping unlock combination.
