Abstract
An anonymous secure messaging method, system and computer program product for implementation over a wireless connection. The invention allows the securely exchange of information between a security token enabled computer system and an intelligent remote device having an operatively coupled security token thereto over the wireless connection. The invention establishes an anonymous secure messaging channel between the security token and the security token enabled computer system, which allows the intelligent remote device to emulate a locally connected security token peripheral device without requiring a physical connection. A dedicated wireless communications channel is incorporated to prevent several concurrent wireless connections from being established with the security token and potentially compromising the security of the information being sent on concurrent wireless connections.
