System and Method for Implementing a Secured and Centrally Managed Virtual IP Network Over an IP Network Infrastructure
First Claim
1. A method for establishing secure IP communication between at least first and second nodes through a virtual IP network managed by at least one central server, the method comprising:
- initiating, from one of the at least first and second nodes, a request to the at least one central server for communication between the at least first and second nodes;
validating the request for communication between the at least first and second nodes;
granting at least one unique identifier to each of the at least first and second nodes upon successful validation; and
creating a secure channel for communication between the at least first and second nodes through the virtual IP network using their respective at least one unique identifier.

Abstract
A method and system for establishing secure IP communication, through a virtual IP network, between at least first and second nodes comprise an access manager for validating a communication request, initiated by one of the at least first and second nodes, for communication between the at least first and second nodes. The access manager further grants at least one unique identifier to each of the at least first and second nodes upon successful validation. A channel provides for secure IP communication between the at least first and second nodes through the virtual IP network using their respective at least one unique identifier.
