1. A method of verifying that a server is authorized to provide resources to a client, the method comprising acts of:

  • generating a server authentication request at the client to verify that the server is authorized to provide at least one resource to the client;

    transmitting the server authentication request to the server;

    receiving an encrypted server authentication response from the server;

    decrypting the server authentication response without user interaction in order to prevent a user from colluding with an unauthorized server to circumvent server authentication; and

    disabling one or more client functions unless the decrypted server authentication response indicates that the server is authorized to provide the at least one resource to the client.
