Abstract
A method for securing a server undergoing data communication with a remote client computer in a client/server network. The method includes requesting an application by a user of the remote client computer. In response to the request, the server transmits a module which runs on the remote client computer. When run, the module collects client information regarding the client computer and based on the collected client information selects one or more security mechanisms, preferably including one encryption mechanism and runs the security mechanisms on the remote client computer.
