Abstract
The invention is directed to managing secure communications using a virtual meeting room (VR) through a firewall. The VR may operate as a virtual subnet managed by a VR server (VRS). A client requests a VR from the VRS. The VRS allocates the virtual subnet, and enables access to requested resources. The VRS provides information and authentication credentials to the client for distribution to other clients. The clients may use the provided information to authenticate to the VRS. In one embodiment, the VRS downloads to each client a virtual room client (VRC) application useable to connect to the VRS and establish a secure communications channel with the VRS and through the firewall. The secure communications channel may be used to communicate through the VRS directly to another client device, and/or broadcast messages to each client within the VR. Communications may be monitored for communication constraint compliance by the VRS.
