Abstract
A pre-authenticated token system includes an identification token having a switch, a transmitter and receiver circuit, and a sensor; a docking station having control circuitry, a transmit/receive circuit and an antenna; a personal computer; and an authentication server computer. The personal computer transmits security information to the authentication server, receives authentication information, and transmits an authentication signal to the docking station. The docking station receives the authentication signal, enters an authentication mode, and transmits the authentication signal to the identification token. The sensor of the identification token detects removal of the identification token from the user's body, and the switch then responds by disabling the identification token to prevent transmission of identification data.
