A system and device for authenticating and admitting parties located at remote sites (115) to a secure communication network (100), wherein each remote site includes a device operable to execute code for determining a first authenticating value received from a second site (110), which is blinded with a value associated with the remote site (115), encrypting and transmitting the determined value and decrypting a second authenticating value and validating the transmitting site (110) when the unblinded first authenticating value is equivalent to the second authenticating value. Furthermore, the transmitting site (110) includes a devices operable to execute code for generating and transmitting a first authenticating value blinded by a value associated with a remote site (115), decrypting a value and validating the remote site when the authenticating value is equivalent to the decrypted received value. |
