<p>A method and system for authenticating an authorized user of remote terminal (102) attempting to interconnect with computer network (104) over a wireless modem is provided. An encrypted wireless communication channel is established between remote terminal (102) and network server (108) for facilitating the authentication process. An authorized user present authentication card (118) containing credentials including a user identifier and authentication encryption key (206) to remote terminal (102). Remote terminal (102) establishes wireless communication channel (114) with network server (108) which provides a firewall between unauthenticated users and computer network (104). Network server (108) and remote terminal (102) then exchange encrypted information thus verifying the authenticity of each party. Remote terminal (102) and network server (108) each independently generate data encryption key (206) for use in establishing secure encrypted wireless communication channel (114) therebetween.</p> |
