Abstract
A method and system for emulating a smartcard which includes receiving a one time password and a container PIN for a container, validating the container PIN, upon validating the container PIN, and sending a request to validate the one time password to an authentication server based on a credential ID and a user ID, wherein the request includes the credential ID, the user ID, and the one time password. Upon validation of the one time password by the authentication server, a response is received from the authentication server, and the response includes at least one of: at least a portion of a private key or an authorization to access a at least a portion of the private key stored locally.
