| Formation and Business of the Company | Note 1 - Formation and Business of the Company VirnetX Holding Corporation, which we refer to as” we”, “us”, “our”, “the Company” or “VirnetX”, is engaged in the business of commercializing a portfolio of patents. We seek to license our technology, including GABRIEL Connection Technology™, to various original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, that use our technologies in the development and manufacturing of their own products within the IP-telephony, mobility, fixed-mobile convergence and unified communications markets. Prior to 2012 our revenue was limited to an insignificant amount of software royalties pursuant to the terms of a single license agreement. During 2013 and 2012 we had revenues from settlements of patent infringement disputes whereby we received consideration for past sales of licensees that utilized our technology, where there was no prior patent license agreement (see “Revenue Recognition”). |

| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VirnetX Holding Corporation and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations. Use of Estimates We have made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) as delineated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in its Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Generally, assets and liabilities that are subject to estimation and judgment include the fair value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of our warrant liability and deferred income taxes. While actual results could differ, we believe such estimates to be reasonable. Revenue Recognition We derive our revenue from patent licensing. The timing and amount of revenue recognized from each licensee depends upon a variety of factors, including the specific terms of each agreement and the nature of the deliverables and obligations. Such agreements can be complex and may or may not include multiple elements. These agreements may include, without limitation, elements related to the settlement of past patent infringement liabilities, up-front and non-refundable license fees for the use of patents, patent licensing royalties on covered products sold by licensees, and the compensation structure and ownership of intellectual property rights associated with contractual technology development arrangements. Licensing agreements are accounted for under the FASB revenue recognition guidance, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." This guidance requires consideration to be allocated to each element of an agreement that has stand-alone value using the relative fair value method. In other circumstances, such as those agreements involving consideration for past and expected future patent royalty obligations, after consideration of the particular facts and circumstances, the appropriate recording of revenue between periods may require the use of judgment. In all cases, revenue is only recognized after all of the following criteria are met: (1) written agreements have been executed; (2) delivery of technology or intellectual property rights has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) fees are fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of fees is reasonably assured. Patent License Agreements: Upon signing a patent license agreement, including licenses entered into settlement of litigation, we provide the licensee permission to use our patented technology in specific applications. We account for patent license agreements in accordance with the guidance for revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables, with amounts allocated to each element based on their fair values. We have elected to utilize the leased-based model for revenue recognition with revenue being recognized over the expected period of benefit to the licensee. Under our patent license agreements, we typically receive one or a combination of the following forms of payment as consideration for permitting our licensees to use our patented inventions in specific applications and products:
Cash and Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate risk due to the short maturities of these investments. Investments Investments are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair market value. Unrealized gain and losses are reported as other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses are recorded in income in the period they are realized. We invest our excess cash primarily in highly liquid debt instruments including municipal and federal agency securities. By policy, we limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the accelerated and straight line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to seven years. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily maintained at two major financial institutions in the United States. Deposits held with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. A portion of those balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC. During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had, at times, funds that were uninsured. We do not believe that we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents. Fair Value The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities. Intangible Assets We record intangible assets at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization of intangible assets is provided over their estimated useful lives, which can range from 3 to 15 years, on either a straight-line basis or as revenue is generated by the assets. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We identify and record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable, but not less than annually. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the anticipated future net undiscounted cash flows to the related assets’ carrying value. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset. Research and Development Research and development costs include expenses paid to outside development consultants and compensation related expenses for our engineering staff. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of our assets and liabilities. We calculate current and deferred tax provisions based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from actual results reflected on the income tax returns filed during the following years. Adjustments based on filed returns are recorded when identified in the subsequent years. The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the tax rate change is enacted. In assessing if we will realize our deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets when, in our judgment, based upon currently available information and other factors, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance is based on an on-going evaluation of current information including, among other things, historical operating results, estimates of future earnings in different taxing jurisdictions and the expected timing of the reversals of temporary differences. We believe the determination to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred income tax asset is a significant accounting estimate because it is based, among other things, on an estimate of future taxable income in the United States and certain other jurisdictions, which is susceptible to change and may or may not occur, and because the impact of adjusting a valuation allowance may be material. In determining when to release the valuation allowance established against our net deferred income tax assets, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative. Consistent with our policy, and because of our history of operating losses, we do not currently recognize the benefit of all of our deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, that may be used to offset future taxable income. We continually assess our ability to generate sufficient taxable income during future periods in which our deferred tax assets may be realized. If and when we believe it is more likely than not that we will recover our deferred tax assets, we will reverse the valuation allowance as an income tax benefit in our statements of operations. We account for our uncertain tax positions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The purpose of this method is to clarify accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized. The U.S. GAAP method of accounting for uncertain tax positions utilizes a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions. Step one, recognition, requires evaluation of the tax position to determine if based solely on technical merits it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Step two, measurement, is addressed only if a position is more likely than not to be sustained. In step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities. If a position does not meet the more likely than not threshold for recognition in step one, no benefit is recorded until the first subsequent period in which the more likely than not standard is met, the issue is resolved with the taxing authority, or the statute of limitations expires. Positions previously recognized are derecognized when we subsequently determine the position no longer is more likely than not to be sustained. Evaluation of tax positions, their technical merits, and measurements using cumulative probability are highly subjective management estimates. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Derivative Instruments Our Series I Warrants are accounted for as derivative instruments as a result of an anti-dilution provision which, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, prevents them from being considered indexed to our stock and qualified for an exception to derivative accounting. We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. We record changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of the derivatives in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation using the fair value recognition method in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We recognize these compensation costs net of the applicable forfeiture rate and recognize the compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of 4 years. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on our historical experience if any. See Note 6 - Stock-Based Compensation for additional information concerning our share-based compensation awards. In addition, as required we record stock and options granted to non-employees at fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued as they vest over the performance period. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. During 2013, 2012 and 2011 we incurred losses; therefore the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive during these periods. New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2013, the FASB issued final guidance on the presentation of reclassifications out of other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the income statement or in a footnote, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, only if the amount reclassified is required by GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide detail about those amounts. This guidance was effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations. In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-11 "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists." The guidance is a new accounting standard on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The standard provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry forward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The standard became effective for us on January 1, 2014 and had no material effect on our financial position or statement of operations. |

| Stock Plan [Abstract] | |
| Stock Plan | Note 5 - Stock Plan In 2005, VirnetX, Inc. adopted the 2005 Stock Plan (the "2005 Plan"), which was assumed by us upon the closing of the transaction between VirnetX Holding Corporation and VirnetX, Inc. on July 5, 2007. Our Board of Directors renamed the 2005 Plan the VirnetX Holding Corporation 2007 Stock Plan and our stockholders approved the 2007 Plan at our 2008 annual stockholders' meeting. The 2007 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 11,624,469 shares of our common stock. The 2007 Plan provided for the granting of stock options and restricted stock purchase rights (RSU) to our employees and consultants. On May 22, 2013, our stockholders approved the VirnetX Holding Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") at our 2013 annual stockholders' meeting. The 2013 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock. To the extent that any award should expire, become un-exercisable or is otherwise forfeited, the shares subject to such award will again become available for issuance under the 2013 Plan. The 2013 Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted stock purchase rights (“RSU”) to our employees and consultants. Stock options granted under the 2013 Plan may be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options ("ISO") may only be granted to our employees (including officers and directors). Nonqualified stock options ("NSO") and stock purchase rights may be granted to our employees and consultants. The 2013 Plan will expire in 2023. Options may be granted under the 2013 Plan with an exercise price determined by our Board of Directors, or a duly appointed committee thereof, provided, however, that the exercise price of an option granted to any employee shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant in the case of ISO or 85% of the fair market value at the date of grant in the case of an NSO. The exercise price of an ISO or NSO granted to one of our Named Executive Officers shall not be less than 100% fair market value of the shares at the date of grant and the exercise price of an ISO granted to a 10% shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the 2013 Plan typically vest over four years and have a 10 year term. All RSUs are considered to be granted at the fair value of our stock on the date of grant because they have no exercise price. RSUs typically vest over four years. At December 31, 2013 there were 2,227,882 shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan. |

| Stock-Based Compensation | Note 6 - Stock-Based Compensation The following tables summarize information about stock-options and RSU's outstanding at December 31, 2013:
The following tables summarize activity under the Plan for the indicated periods:
Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between, the per share market price of our common stock on the last trading day of 2013, which was $19.41, and the exercise price of the options. For options exercised, the intrinsic value is the difference between market price and the exercise price on the date of exercise. We received cash proceeds of $170, $1,691 and $1,068 from stock options exercised in 2013, 2012 and 2011 respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $676, $11,509 and $8,050 during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable at December 31, 2013 was $63,490. For RSU’s vested, the intrinsic value is the difference between market price and the vested price on the date of vest. The total intrinsic value of the RSU’s vested was zero during the year ended December 31, 2013. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expense for each period as follows:
As of December 31, 2013, there was $11,752 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense expected to be recognized related to unvested employee stock options and 4,773 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense to be recognized related to unvested RSU’s. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.39 and 2.70 years, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:
Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted was $19.24, $23.17 and $21.43 per share during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The expected life was determined using the simplified method outlined in ASC 718, taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. Expected volatility of the stock options was based upon historical data and other relevant factors, such as the volatility of comparable publicly-traded companies at a similar stage of life cycle. We have not provided an estimate for forfeitures because we have had nominal forfeited options and believe that all outstanding options at December 31, 2013, will vest. In the future, we may change this estimate based on actual and expected future forfeiture rates. |

| Earnings Per Share | Note 7 - Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding for a period. Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Potential common shares outstanding principally include stock options, under our stock plan and warrants. During 2013, 2012 and 2011 we incurred losses; therefore the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive during those periods. The table below sets forth the basic loss per share calculations:

| Income Taxes | Note 11 - Income Taxes The benefit (provision) for income taxes is comprised of the following:
A reconciliation of the United States federal statutory income tax rate to our effective income tax rate is as follows:
Deferred tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following:
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013 was an increase of $8,986. At December 31, 2013, we had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $23,468 and $37,993, respectively, expiring beginning in 2027 and 2016, respectively. At December 31, 2013, we had federal research and development credit carry-forwards of approximately $907 expiring beginning in 2031. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation (the "Section 382 Limitation") on the amount of taxable income can be offset by net operating loss carry forwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. California has similar rules. Our capitalization described herein may have resulted in such a change. Generally, after a control change, a loss corporation cannot deduct net operating loss carry forwards generated in years prior to the deemed change of control under IRC Section 382 in excess of the Section 382 Limitation. We are required to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. As a result, we have provided contingent reserve under ASC 740-10 of $316, $128 and $128 at December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Our tax returns are subject to review by various tax authorities. The returns are subject to review those from 2008 forward. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. We have accrued interest or penalties during the 12 month period ended December 31, 2013 in the amount of $79. A reconciliation of beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits follows:

| Fair Value Measurement [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value Measurement | Note 12 - Fair Value Measurement We apply fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, investments in certificates of deposit, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short period of time until maturity. Certificate of deposits: Fair value measured at face value plus accrued interest. Mutual Funds: Valued at the quoted net asset value (NAV) of shares held. Corporate, Municipal and U.S. Agency securities: Fair value measured at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Series I Warrants: Fair value measured by using a Binomial valuation model. As of December 31, 2013, the assumptions used to measure fair value of the liability embedded in our outstanding Series I Warrants included a warrant exercise price of $3.59 per share, a common share price of $19.41, a discount rate of 1.75%, and a volatility of 91.55%. As of December 31, 2012, the assumptions used to measure fair value of the liability embedded in our outstanding Series I Warrants included a warrant exercise price of $3.59 per share, a common share price of $29.28, a discount rate of 0.72%, and a volatility of 94.15%. The following table shows our cash and available-for-sale securities adjusted cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value by significant investment category recorded as cash and cash equivalents of investments available for sale as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively (in thousands):
