Abstract
Off-the-shelf computing systems or adding a simple token/dongle greatly enhance security of a user computing system even in the presence of malware infecting the computing systems. The two computing systems/devices support secure access to other network nodes/servers hosting secured sites. The use may take shape in various ways and the potential use of two, three, or more computing systems is described. The use in a malware-infected environment is advantageous and exposes hacking attempts in real-time.
Claims4
A computing device comprising a processor and a memory;
- the computing device is configured to support secure access to a network and secure communication with a secure site hosted by a network node, by establishing an out-of band physical channel;
- the computing device communicates with a computing system;
- the computing system comprising a second processor and a second memory;
- a user communicates with the computing device and the computing system, where the computing device and the computing system simultaneously communicate with the secure site hosted by a network node, establishing a network split session, a secured first session with the computing device and a second session with the computing system;
- the user communicates sensitive information to the computing device, enabling the secured first session with the secure site hosted by the network node, where the secured first session not accessible by the computing system;
- key functions supported by the computing device include authentication, session integrity, content validation, and seeding.
