System and method for establishing secure internet communication between a remote computer and a host computer via an intermediate internet computer

摘要

A system and method is provided for initiating an activation script of commands that create a connection between the host system and the Internet. A user at a remote computer system initiates a request over the Internet to a intermediary computer system associated with a host system for a remote connection thereto. The intermediary computer system is geographically located in the local telephone calling area of the host computer system and has a continuous connection to the Internet. The intermediary computer system initiates an asynchronous call to the host computer system via modem to transmit the request. The host computer system receives this request to connect to the Internet from the intermediary computer system. This request contains the remote requestor's identity for the purposes of feedback. Authentication of the remote requestor is performed and the host computer system acknowledges the request. The host computer system then disconnects from the intermediary computer system connects to the Internet. If the remote requestor is not authenticated then the host computer system disconnects from the intermediary system and does not connect to the Internet. The host computer system communicates over the Internet with the remote computer system to establish the identity feedback. If identity feedback is verified, then the remote computer system can begin normal TCPIP based communications with the host computer system.
