Abstract
A web application that is attempting to access a site hosted by a system that needs authentication based on a hardware-protected key is redirected to a local authority service on the machine. The local authority service interacts with a hardware key reader to obtain authentication information from a hardware key holder. The local authority service illustratively interacts with the system being accessed in order to obtain an operation result, based on the hardware-protected key obtained through the hardware key reader. The operation result is then posted to the web application, by the local authority service, for use in authenticating the user.
