System and method for negotiating security services and algorithms for communication across a computer network United States Patent 05784566

05784566 is referenced by 121 patents and cites 4 patents.

A system and a method are described for selecting and initiating security services for communication across computer networks. Negotiation is facilitated between nodes of a computer network to determine whether a security service is to be used, and if so, what particular method of providing the security service will be used. Communication with a wide range of different computer systems using different methods of providing various security services is thereby facilitated.
