Abstract:
1. A method performed by a computing system for protecting a remotely initiated transaction, comprising: initiating a transaction by sending a request from a client computing device to a server computing device; receiving a communication from the server computing device, the communication indicating a challenge; causing the client computing device to disable an unsecure processor so that a secure processor can verify the remotely initiated transaction with a user, wherein the secure processor and the unsecure processor differ in at least a set of input/output connections included for each processor, such that the secure processor has a comparatively smaller attack surface due to having fewer input/output connections than the unsecure processor; indicating the challenge to the user; receiving a confirmation from the user; and transmitting a confirmation message to the server computing device so that the server computing device can complete the transaction.
