Abstract
A method and system for providing a first network resource with secure but limited access to a second network resource. A method embodying the invention includes receiving a request to access the second resource. It is verified that the source of the request is the first resource. It is then verified that the request was originated by a user through, for example, a web browser, and then a user's credentials are authenticated. Only when the request can be properly verified and the user credentials authenticated, is access to the second resource granted. Beneficially, the first resource cannot access the second without the user's knowledge or, at least, implicit consent.
