Patent ID: 8205072

Claim:
A method of providing security for a current user of an untrusted computer accessing a networked server through a secure communications session, the method comprising: creating, for the current user, a default session on the untrusted computer having a default file system; creating, for the current user, a separate user session on the same untrusted computer by adding a new user account and password using an operating system of the untrusted computer; wherein said separate user session for the current user runs simultaneously side-by-side with said default session that the current user is using; creating a separate file system for the separate user session; and in response to determining that an attempt to access the default file system is by a process linked with the separate user session of the current user, causing the attempt to access the default file system to be encrypted and redirected to the separate file system of the separate user session of the current user; allowing a process linked with the default session to access the default file system without modification.
