Claim:
A method for establishing a secure end-to-end communications connection between a security token enabled computer system and a security token associated with a wireless intelligent remote device comprising the steps of: a. performing a first security transaction which authenticates said security token to said security token enabled computer system; b. establishing a secure communications connection between said security token and said security token enabled computer system which incorporates a shared symmetric key set generated during said first security transaction; c. assigning at least one key from said shared symmetric key set to a dedicated communications channel accessible to said security token; and d. performing a second security transaction which authenticates a user to said security token, the second security transaction being different from the first security transaction and performed after the first security transaction, and wherein, after successfully completing the first security transaction and then the second security transaction, the secure end-to-end communications connection between the security token enabled computer system and the security token is established.
