The client host generates a transaction message and determines the key information of the message after receiving transaction information entered by a user, forms a data packet for signing, and transmits the data packet to the USB key, which will then extract the key information and output it for confirmation by the user, and if a confirmation is received, the USB key signs the data packet and transmits a signature to the client host; after receiving the signature and the transaction message from the client host, the server extracts the key information from the transaction message to form a data packet for signing and verifies the signature against the data packet. The embodiments of the present invention are mainly applicable to the field of information security.
