Abstract:
1. A method for trusted secure access from a local network location to an institution remote network location, comprising: employing at least one processor for: (a) activating a trusted security device at a local network location, said device having a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, with a remote network location, comprising: at the local network location: (i) obtaining, from the remote network location, an institution authorized a private security software comprising a scrambling algorithm and a descrambling algorithm, and storing the private security software at the trusted security device; the trusted security device having a un-changeable global unique identifier (UID), which uniquely identifies the trusted security device; (ii) causing the private security software to: (ii-1) obtain a user selectable personal identification number from a user; (ii-2) obtain the UID from the trusted security device; and (ii-3) forward the PIN and the UID to the remote network location; at the remote network location: (iii) running the scrambling algorithm with the PIN and UID as input to generate a user-personalized credential code containing scrambled access credentials to the institution remote location; and (iv) forwarding the user-personalized credential code to the local network location and storing thereof at the trusted security device; and (b) at the local network location, performing a local authentication without communicating over any network, comprising: (v) verifying authenticity of the user selectable PIN and the UID, comprising running the descrambling algorithm of the private security software using the PIN and the UID as input to descramble the user- personalized credential code; (vi) upon successful verification, retrieving the access credentials to the institution remote network location from the user-personalized credential code.
