Method and system for self-provisioning a rendezvous to ensure secure access to information in a database from multiple devices

Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A method for provisioning, through a wireless mobile telephone, a rendezvous to a user account in a server to ensure secure access to the user account by a client through the rendezvous having an address identifier in the server, the method comprising:

establishing a communication session by the wireless mobile telephone with the server over a wireless network using a first communication protocol according to the address identifier of the rendezvous; the wireless mobile telephone having an identification associated with the user account and running a first browser, the server-coupled between the wireles network and the Internet;

authenticating mutually between the wireless mobile telephone and the server so that the communication session becomes authenticated between the wireless mobile telephone and the server;

establishing user credential information for the rendezvous by the wireless mobile telephone; so that

the user credential information becomes associated with the rendezvous to the user account in the server, and

wherein the user account in the server becomes accessible and updated by

the client through the rendezvous by supplying the user credential information determined through the wireless mobile telephone.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the authenticating mutually between the wireless mobile telephone and the server comprises:

determining by the server if the wireless mobile telephone has the user account created therefor and authorized therein according to the identification of the wireless mobile telephone;

sending a reply response by the server to the wireless mobile telephone if the above determining the wireless mobile telephone by the server succeeds, wherein the reply response comprises server information; and

determining, upon receiving the reply response from the server, by the wireless mobile telephone if the server is recognized by examining the received server information.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the authenticating mutually between the wireless mobile telephone and the server comprises generating a session credential information comprising a mutually accepted cipher and a mutually accepted encrypt key such that all subsequent transactions between the wireless mobile telephone and the server are encrypted by the encrypt key according to the cipher.

4. The method as recited in claim 3, further comprising:

establishing a connection by the client to the rendezvous using a second communication protocol according to the address identifier thereof, wherein the client runs a second browser;

supplying the user credential information to the rendezvous by the client using the second browser;

verifying the supplied user credential information in the server; and

allowing access by the client using the second communication protocol to the user account in the server if the supplied user credential information is verified.

5. A system for secure access over a data network to a user account, through a rendezvous identified by an address identifier, in a server, the rendezvous being exclusively designated to the user account, the system comprising:

a server coupled between a wireless data network and a landline data network in the data network;

a wireless mobile telephone, remotely located with respect to the server and coupled to the wireless data network supporting a first communication protocol, having a client identification and running a first browser to access the user account in the server;

a client, coupled to the landline data network supporting a second communication protocol, running a second browser to access and update the user account in the server with credential information that can be determined through the wireless mo
