ABSTRACT:
A security system and method is provided. In an embodiment, a personal integrated circuit (“PIC”), is provided that can be presented to a laptop computer. The PIC includes a digital certificate personal to an authorized user and is operable to automatically install the certificate on the laptop computer once presented into the computer and once the user enters a valid password respective to the PIC. At this point, the laptop presents the certificate to a server via a network, and the certificate is checked for validity. If valid, the user is then permitted to log into the server. Having logged into the server, the user can remain logged in even as the PIC is removed and presented to different computing devices that are also able to connect to the server via the network. Typically, the user is only able to access the server through the computing device to which the PIC is attached. The user is automatically logged out of the server after a predefined period of inactivity or according to such other criteria as may be desired.
