Abstract
Method and system for secure access from a security device at a local network location to a remote network location are disclosed. At the security device having a unique identifier (UID), processor, and memory, a security software is obtained from a remote network location, the security software obtaining a personal identification number (PIN) of a user, and the UID of the security device. The PIN, the UID and the private security software are forwarded to the remote network location for generating a credential code, including encrypting the credential code. At the security device, the credential code is obtained from the remote network location, and authenticity of the PIN and the UID is verified, without communicating over a network, including decrypting the credential code. Upon verifying the authenticity of the PIN and the UID, access credentials to the remote network location are retrieved.
