Abstract

When a user wishes to connect to a remote PC (e.g. work place PC) or network they insert a Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) into a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port of a local computer (e.g. home PC) that they wish to connect from. The BRAD device then challenges the user to authenticate themselves with their fingerprint. If the fingerprint authentication is successful the device goes onto the Internet 1 to a website that holds a database of user's details which are matched to the unique serial number of the device and downloads 2 the user's logon details required to connect to their workplace PC or network. The device then automatically connects 3 to the user's workplace PC or network via a secure IPVPN (Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network). The user is then challenged to enter the password of their work place PC for access via the local computer. The user authentication may be 2 factor authentication.

Description

<p>Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) Page 1</p>
<p>The Description</p>
<p>This invention relates to a device that is used for secure remote access to work-based PCs and Computer Networks via the internet it is a Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) that utilises Biometric Fingerprint Authentication on a Portable USB memory drive When user's are away from their place of work the need often arises for them to gain access to the information on their PC or Computer Network. Without a Remote Access system this would necessitate travelling to their place of work to access the information Most Remote Access systems require the user to install a software client onto their PC at the remote location that enables the remote connectivity -this restricts the user to that single remote location, it can't be used elsewhere unless the user takes the software with them, and then they would have to load it onto other PCs To overcome the user having to constantly install and de-install software onto various PCs the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) has all the necessary software on board allowing the user the opportunity to access the information via an internet enabled PC wherever they are.</p>
<p>The invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a user connecting to their place of work PC from a home based PC, Figure 2 shows a user connecting to their place of work PC from a 3G enabled Laptop, Figure 3 shows a user connecting to their place of work PC incorporating the use of 2 factor authentication device from a home based PC, Figure 4 shows a user connecting to their place of work PC incorporating the use of 2 factor authentication device from a 30 enabled Laptop Figure 1 In figure 1 the user inserts the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) into a USB port of the PC that they wish to connect from. The Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) then challenges the user to authenticate themselves with their Fingerprint If the Fingerprint authentication is successful the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) automatically goes onto the internet (1) to a website that holds a database of all Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) user's details which are matched to the unique serial number of the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) and downloads (2) the user's logon details required to connect to their workplace PC or Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) Page 2 Computer Network. Once this information is on the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) the device then automatically goes back onto the internet (3) and points at the user's work place PC or Computer Network IP address via a secure IPVPN (Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network). The user is then challenged to enter the password of their work place PC and if successful the PC which they are using will now control the work place PC allowing the user to use all available programs and access the Computer Network as if they were sat in front of their work place PC.</p>
<p>Figure 2 In figure 2 the user inserts the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) into a USB port of the 3GIGPRS enabled Laptop that they wish to connect from. The Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) then challenges the user to authenticate themselves with their Fingerprint. If the Fingerprint authentication is successful the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) automatically goes onto the internet (1) to a website that holds a database of all Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) user's details which are matched to the unique serial number of the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) and downloads (2) the user's logon details required to connect to their workplace PC or Computer Network. Once this information is on the Biometric Remote Access Device (BRAD) the device then automatically goes back onto the internet (3) and points at the user's work place PC or Computer Network IP address via a secure IPVPN (Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network).</p>
<p>The user is then challenged to enter the password of their work place PC and if successful the PC which they are using will now control the work place PC allowing the user to use all available programs and access the Computer Network as if they were sat in front of their work place PC Figure 3 Figure 3 shows an alternative use incorporating the use of 2 factor authentication.</p>
