Patent ID: 7730308

Claim:
A method for setting up a secure communication line between a user and a service provider using non-secure communication channels within an insecure network, comprising the steps of: transmitting an identity token or identity claim from the user station to a service provider station wherein the user station and service provider station are coupled to the insecure network; triggering the creation of a secret URL by the service provider station upon receiving the identity token or identity claim, wherein the step of triggering the creation of the secret URL creates a crypto-container by the service provider station, wherein the crypto-container includes the secret URL encrypted with a key known to the user, wherein a secure side channel is used to transmit the crypto-container, and decrypting the crypto-container within the user station to obtain the secret URL; transmitting the secret URL within the secure side channel to the user station; obtaining the secret URL within the user station; and setting-up a new communication path in the insecure network that links the user and the service provider station based on the secret URL.
