Abstract
A method for interacting with a memory device is provided. In this method, a cryptographic communication application is registered to be associated with a protocol type in a web browser. A message encapsulated in the protocol type from the web browser is received and thereafter transmitted to the memory device. Here, the message is associated with a cryptographic operation.
Claims50
A method for interacting with a memory device, the method comprising:
- performing the following in a computing device:
- in response to a memory device being removably connected with the computing device, registering an application to be associated with a protocol type in a web browser, wherein the application is operative to:
- (i) receive a message transmitted to the web browser, the message being encapsulated in the protocol type and associated with an operation;
- and (ii) transmit the message to the memory device to perform the operation;
- and
- in response to the memory device being disconnected from the computing device, unregistering the application from the web browser.

A method for interacting with a memory device, the method comprising:
- performing the following with an application on a computing device in communication with a memory device, the application registered to be associated with a protocol type in a web browser on the computing device:
- receiving a plurality of messages that are transmitted to the web browser;
- extracting a message associated with the protocol type from the plurality of messages, the extracted message being associated with an operation;
- and
- transmitting the extracted message to the memory device for performing the operation.
2 more elements
A computing device comprising:
- an interface configured to removably connect to a memory device;
- and
- a processor in communication with the interface, wherein the processor is operative to:
- register an application to be associated with a protocol type in a web browser in response to a memory device being removably connected with the interface, wherein the application is operative to (i) receive a message encapsulated in the protocol type from the web browser, the message being associated with an operation, and (ii) transmit the message to the memory device to perform the operation;
- and
- unregister the application from the web browser in response to the memory device being disconnected from the interface.
3 more elements
A computing device comprising:
- an interface configured to removably connect to a memory device;
- and
- a processor in communication with the interface, wherein the processor is operative to execute an application that is registered to be associated with a protocol type in a web browser in the computing device, the application being operative to:
- (i) receive a plurality of messages that are transmitted to the web browser;
- (ii) extract a message associated with a protocol type from the plurality of messages, the extracted message being associated with an operation;
- and
- (iii) transmit the extracted message to the memory device to perform the operation.
