Network communication system with improved security

摘要

A computer network communication method and system wherein software rendering software is interposed in the data communication path between a browser running on a user computer and the internet data sources (for example, internet-accessible server computers) that the user browser wants to receive information from. The software rendering application gets data from internet data sources, but this data may contain malware. To provide enhanced security, the software rendering application renders this data to form a new browser readable code set (for example, an xml page with CSS layers), and this new and safe browser readable code set is sent along to the browser on the user computer for appropriate presentation to the user. As part of the rendering process, dedicated and distinct virtual machines may be used to render certain portion of the data, such as executable code. These virtual machines may be watched, and quickly destroyed if it is detected that they have encountered some type of malware.

主权项

1. A method for connecting user browser software running on a user computer to the internet for the purposes of data communication with internet data sources, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a software rendering application that is: (i) remote from the user computer, and (ii) in data communication with the user computer; issuing at least one command from the user browser software, the at least one command being intended for a target internet data source internet data sources; intercepting, by the software rendering application, the at least one command before it reaches the target internet data source; proxying, by the software rendering application, the at least one command; receiving, by the software rendering application, responsive data comprising original user functionality through the internet from the target internet data source; automatically rendering, by the software rendering application, all received responsive data into an interactive pixilated image as a layer defined by pixilated image data such that no original browser executable code will be executed at the user computer; overlaying, by the software rendering application, the pixilated image data with a secure browser readable code set layer comprising at least one of a link, a fillable user input data field, an embedded video, or an embedded audio, wherein the browser readable code set includes the original user functionality of the responsive data; and sending the browser readable code set from the software rendering application to the user browser software.
