System and method of portable secure access

Abstract

An access system and method to establish communication with a customer system via a port is provided. The system can comprise a secure access key that can provide a communication link to the port on the customer system, and a footprint module. The footprint module can block connectivity via the port with the customer system unless the footprint module detects the secure access key as having a first authentication to connect to the customer system. A client device can communicate with the secure access key to get a second authentication from the secure access key to create a connection for communication via the secure access key with the customer system. The system can further comprise a user authentication module that requires a third authentication of a user to operate the client device to communicate over the secure connection via the secure access key with the customer system.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
