Abstract

Apparatus and method is disclosed for providing user session continuity over several transactions being conducted on the internet. A secure token is made part of each HTML page sent to a user from the server computer and the token is returned to the server with each submitted transaction request. The token is compared with token information originally sent out. The submitted request is recognized as being from an authorized user if the token and a session table have the same information.
