Abstract
A method and architecture allowing a remote user, especially an Internet remote user, to securely access private resources protected by a firewall. The architecture comprises a computer facility and many remote user terminals connected via the Internet. The computer facility comprises a security server that controls a security database. The firewall comprises a centralized security means, which is under the control of a security server and is arranged to authenticate remote users and to provide a security profile describing all resources a user may access with a single sign-on data during a single session. A user's terminal further includes a device to generate one-time passwords and the computer includes a device to decode the passwords. The accessed resources may be servers or logical units acceded though protocols having a notion of authentication.
