SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING AN ENHANCED TRANSPORT LAYER SECURITY PROTOCOL

摘要

A system and method for implementing an enhanced transport layer security (ETLS) protocol is provided. The system includes a primary server, an ETLS servlet and an ETLS software module. The primary server operates on a comput er network and is configured to communicate over the computer network using a n on- proprietary security protocol. The ETLS servlet also operates on the compute r network and is securely coupled to the primary server. The ETLS servlet is configured to communicate over the computer network using an ETLS security protocol. The ETLS software module operates on a mobile device, and is configured to communicate over the computer network using either the non- proprietary security protocol or the ETLS security protocol. Operationally, the ETLS software module initially contacts the server over the computer network using the non-proprietary security protocol, and subsequently contac ts the server through the ETLS servlet using the ETLS security protocol.
