Abstract
A method and system for enabling the use of a single client certificate to be used in SNA communications to ensure security such that the certificate cannot be intercepted and reused yet still allowing the use of a single certificate for multiple applications. This avoids the need for a connected trusted third party or a multiplicity of user id and password pairs.
