Abstract
A software system and method for executing secure commercial transactions online is disclosed. A user's password is received to initiate secure socket layer (SSL) communications with a transaction site on a server. A web session associated with the SSL communications is encrypted by associating a domain name of the transaction site with its SSL public key. Then, the user's password is added to a hypertext markup language (HTML) header of a message within the web session. When added, the password is invisible to a hypothetical man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacker, who cannot read the encrypted message nor mimic the user. The MITM is thus unable to compromise the user's account as the MITM is unable to provide the correct password into any fraudulent message.
