A computer system includes a data network connection, a reading device, an input component and a security device that receives access data from the data network connection, the reading device and the input component, wherein the security device establishes a data network link via the data network connection as the computer system is starting up and the security device further receives access data either via the data network link or via the reading device and the input component, and the security device compares the received access data with a data record stored in a firmware on a memory element including security-related data to authenticate a user and boots the computer system if the comparison was successful. |
