Abstract
A wireless communication device is implemented with a smart card module to secure the transmission of sensitive or confidential information. The user of the device must request permission to activate an application on the smart card module from a remote source. After this first level of security is satisfied, the application on the smart card module enables the user to scan data via a machine-readable medium in order to make a data request to the remote source. If a second level authorization is met in regard to the data request, the remote source will transmit the requested sensitive or confidential information to the user to view and/or update.
Claims31
A method for accessing sensitive or confidential information remotely over a wireless communication network, comprising:
- providing first level authentication information for initiating wireless communication with a remote source, the wireless communication enabling an information request requiring second level authentication information;
- providing at least second level authentication information, via a wireless medium, for requesting sensitive or confidential information;
- wherein at least one of the first level and second level authentication information includes unique machine-readable identification information for ensuring association with a required context when accessing the sensitive or confidential information.
A wireless communication device for accessing sensitive or confidential information remotely over a wireless communication network, comprising:
- means for providing first level authentication information for initiating wireless communication with a remote source, the wireless communication enabling an information request requiring second level authentication information;
- means for providing at least second level authentication information, via a wireless medium, for requesting sensitive or confidential information;
- wherein at least one of the first level and second level authentication information includes unique machine-readable identification information for ensuring association with a required context when accessing the sensitive or confidential information.
A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied in said medium for accessing sensitive or confidential information remotely over a wireless communication network, comprising:
- a computer readable program code for providing first level authentication information for initiating wireless communication with a remote source, the wireless communication enabling an information request requiring second level authentication information;
- a computer readable program code for providing at least second level authentication information, via a wireless medium, for requesting sensitive or confidential information;
- wherein at least one of the first level and second level authentication information includes unique machine-readable identification information for ensuring association with a required context when accessing the sensitive or confidential information.
A system for accessing sensitive or confidential information remotely over a wireless communication network, comprising:
- A wireless communication device including a secured smart card module;
- A remote source including at least a server containing sensitive or confidential information;
- A machine-readable tag for providing at least first level or second level authentication information;
- The wireless communication device providing first level authentication information for initiating wireless communication with the server, the wireless communication triggering a response from the server including a token enabling an information request requiring second level authentication information from the secured smart card module;
- The wireless communication device providing at least second level authentication information via a wireless medium, for requesting sensitive or confidential information from the server;
- wherein at least one of the first level and second level authentication information includes unique identification information read from the machine-readable tag, for ensuring association with a required context when accessing the sensitive or confidential information.
