Abstract

A hardware security agent may include a request inspector configured to receive an alias at the hardware security agent by way of a network interface of an untrusted computer, and a mapper configured to map the alias to corresponding protected data stored within the hardware security agent. The hardware security agent may further include a substitution manager configured to provide the corresponding protected data from the hardware security agent over a network to a target network site.
