Method and apparatus for providing a multi-user encrypted environment
First Claim
1. A system for providing a multi-user encrypted environment to each of a plurality of user groups, each user group having a plurality of corresponding users, said system comprising:
- a plurality of virtual network interface cards, each for authenticating and communicating according to a corresponding encryption scheme;
a user group database associating each of the plurality of virtual network interface cards to a given user group; and
a routing unit connected to said plurality of virtual network interface cards and to said user group database for dynamically associating a given user of a given user group to a corresponding virtual network interface card according to said user group database to thereby provide said corresponding encrypted environment.
