When connecting to personal websites (such as banking, online gaming, or online communities), the user simply inserts the Ethertrust USB key with integrated smart card technology that stores all user data, so there’s no login or password to enter. The system ensures that the web browser and the client’s computer are inactive for the identification phase and that the smart card supports the authentication autonomously. This renders any spyware that may be present on the computer useless, as the computer won’t be directly communicating with the site, thus preventing any release of information to the spy.
