Claim:
A method for accessing a security token enabled computer system using an intelligent remote device as a communication interface for a security token, comprising: establishing a wireless communications connection between at least an intelligent remote device and a security token enabled computer system, executing a remote authentication application installed in the intelligent remote device that triggers an access request to the security token enabled computer system which allows the intelligent remote device to emulate a local security device peripheral connected to the security token enabled computer system, prompting a user to provide a critical security parameter, sending the critical security parameter from the intelligent remote device to said security token operatively coupled to said intelligent remote device, authenticating said critical security parameter by said security token so that the user is authenticated to the security token, upon successful completion of the authentication transaction to the security token, allowing the user access to at least one secure resource associated with the security token enabled computer system, and providing aural or visual feedback to said user following successful authenticating to at least said security token enabled computer system.
