METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTE ACCESS TO DATA STORED ON A HOST SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for remote access to data stored on a host system from a remote system via a data link, the method comprising the steps of:
- connecting a first module and a second module to the host system, the first module initially being connected to and associated with the second module;
storing validation password data for verifying the identity of the first module on the second module; and
upon connecting the removed first module to the remote system to establish a secure communication channel between said first and second modules across said data link to access said data, the host system having the second module connected thereto, entering a user password for generating user password data for verification by the second module based on the stored validation password data.

12. A method of storing validation password data on a pair of connected first and second modules, the method comprising the steps of:
-
associating the first module with the second module; and storing validation password data for verifying the identity of the first module on the second module.
-
-
13. A method of verifying the identity of a first module removed from a pair of initially connected and associated first and second modules, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, at the second module, user password data generated at and transmitted from the first module via a data link; and verifying said user password data based on validation password data stored on the second module.

14. An access system for providing remote access to data stored on a host system from a remote system via a data link, the access system comprising the remote system and the host system, wherein:
-
the host system is configured to connect to a first module and a second module, the first module initially being connected to and associated with the second module, and to store validation password data for verifying the identity of the first module on the second module; and the remote system is configured to, upon connecting the removed first module to the remote system to establish a secure communication channel between said first and second modules across said data link to access said data, the host system having the second module connected thereto, enter a user password for generating user password data for verification by the second module based on the stored validation password data.

15. A host system for storing validation password data on a pair of connected first and second modules, the host system configured to associate the first module with the second module;
- and store validation password data for verifying the identity of the first module on the second module.
-
16. A host system for verifying the identity of a first module removed from a pair of initially connected and associated first and second modules, the host system configured to receive user password data generated at and transmitted from the first module via a data link;
- and verify said user password data based on validation password data stored on the second module being connected to the host system.
-
17. A data storage medium having stored thereon computer code means to instruct a computing device to execute a method of storing validation password data on a pair of connected first and second modules, the method comprising the steps of:
-
associating the first module with the second module; and storing validation password data for verifying the identity of the first module on the second module.
-
-
18. A data storage medium having stored thereon computer code means to instruct a computing device to execute a method of verifying the identity of a first module removed from a pair of initially connected and associated first and second modules, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, at the second module, user password data generated at and transmitted from the first module via a data link; and verifying said user password data based on validation password data stored on the second module.

19. A data storage medium having stored thereon computer code means to instruct an access system to execute a method of providing remote access to data stored on a host system from a remote system via a data link, the access system comprising the remote system and the host system, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
-
connecting a first module and a second module to the host system, the first module initially being connected to and associated with the second module; storing validation password data for verifying the identity of the first module on the second module; and upon connecting the removed first module to the remote system to establish a secure communication channel between said first and second modules across said data link to access said data, the host system having the second module connected thereto, entering a user password for generating user password data for verification by the second module based on the stored validation password data.
