Utilization of multiple devices to secure online transactions

摘要

The invention described herein can be configured for securing communications against malware by utilizing two devices with differential or application-specific components during an online session. The invention can determine whether both a first device and a second device are accessible and if both the first and second devices are determined to be accessible, transmitting a first subset of the information to the first device from the server and transmitting a second subset of the information to the second device from the server.

主权项

1. A method for transmitting information to multiple electronic devices, the method comprising:
electronically storing a set of information at a server; identifying a first subset of the information and identifying a second subset of the information, wherein the first and second subsets of information are generated by the same application at the server and are specific to that application; determining at the server whether both a first device in possession of and being directly operated by a first user and a second device also in possession of and being directly operated by the first user are accessible over at least one electronic communications network based on the first user being logged into the application at both the first and second devices; if and only if both the first and second devices are determined to be accessible by the server, then: transmitting a first subset of the information to the first device from the server; and transmitting a second subset of the information to the second device from the server, wherein the second subset of the information includes information not transmitted to the first device.
