Abstract:
A method for securely connecting to a remote server that provides improved Internet security. In the method, a client receives a request to connect to a remote server associated with a domain name. The client, when resolving the domain name, determines whether the remote server supports at least one predetermined IP layer security protocol. The client performs a key exchange protocol with the remote server to generate at least one shared secret in response to determining that the remote server supports the at least one predetermined IP layer security protocol. The client connects to the remote server using the at least one shared secret in the IP layer security protocol.
