ABSTRACT:
A computer system may receive one or more credentials of a user (e.g., username, password, etc.) from an integrated circuit (IC) device carried by the user. The computer system may include an IC device interface to receive the user credential(s) from the IC device. The IC device interface may be coupled to a CPU of the computer system through a low pin count (LPC) bus. The user credential(s) may be used to grant access to software and/or to grant access to information. Access may be granted to information stored on the computer system. In some embodiments, the computer system may be coupled to a network and transmit the user credential(s) from the IC device and a request for access of information to a service provider coupled to the network. The service provider may grant or deny the request for access of information based on user credential(s).
