1. A controller comprising:
logic to:
receive an authentication request from a user for an authentication for access via user initiation of a login procedure;receive, during the authentication, via a near field communication link with a data card, an identification packet generated by a remote authentication provider;sign the identification packet to attest that the identification packet was securely received via the near field communication link and that the user authorized the authentication request;transmit the identification packet to the remote authentication provider;receive an authorization from the remote authentication provider, responsive to information in the identification packet;after receipt of the authorization, retrieve from a local storage login information associated with the identification packet; andimplement the login procedure using the login information, to enable the user to access a network resource remotely coupled to the controller.
