Abstract
The communication terminal of a communication system comprises a virtual network switch which can forcibly alter the destination of data being transmitted/received between the communication terminal and a network. Data is transmitted/received between the network and the communication terminal through a portable electronic device. Various functions, including a security function, can be supplemented by providing the function in software mounted on the portable electronic device. Even if a communication terminal connected directly with the network is not provided with such functions as a VPN, firewall or virus check, high-safety communication is ensured utilizing these security ensuring means mounted on the portable electronic device.
