A physical key is used to propose an association between a guest device
and user information and services. Contact-based or contact-less
connectors are used to establish the proposed association between the
physical key and the guest device. The proposed association then
communicated to the dynamic authentication system over a first
communication channel. The dynamic authentication system determines a
user confirmation over a second communications channel based on a user
device and previously determined associations between users, user devices
and the physical key. The guest device is then authenticated for access
to information and/or services associated with the user. The information
retrieved from and/or transmitted to the user's personal information
repository is optionally protected using various transformations.
Optional session identifiers supported on the physical key and/or the
user device, ensure the protected information is inaccessible when the
physical key is removed and/or the predetermined association with the
user device is deleted.
