Systems and methods for increased security during logging in to web site

摘要

A user at a computing device interacts with a networked site so that the user can log in thereto. The site receives a selection to log in and in response downloads at least one replacing driver for bypassing a corresponding driver operating on the computing device that may possibly copy log-in data including authentication credentials as entered by the user. Each replacing driver is loaded into an operating system of the computing device so as to bypass the corresponding possibly copying driver and be employed in the operating system rather than such corresponding bypassed driver. The site then delivers a log-in screen to a presentation application of the computing device after each replacing driver has been loaded. The presentation application displays the log-in screen and the user enters the log-in data thereinto. Accordingly, each non-trusted and bypassed driver is unable to copy the entered log-in data.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that are executed by a processing resource to:
receive, from a user of a computing device, a selection to log in to a site; download at least one replacing input/output driver from the site to the computing device, wherein each replacing driver is: used for bypassing a corresponding driver operating on the computing device that is capable of copying log-in data including authentication credentials while the computing device logs in to the site; determined to be more trustworthy than the corresponding bypassed driver to not copy the log-in data; loaded into an operating system of the computing device so as to bypass the corresponding driver; and employed in the operating system instead of the corresponding bypassed driver; and receive log-in data from the computing device after each replacing driver has been loaded into the operating system, wherein each bypassed driver is unable to copy the received log-in data.
