Abstract
A method and apparatus for authenticating a user over a network, with the network having a client computer and a server computer, and the client computer having a smart card and a smart card reader. The client sends a request to the server to access restricted information stored by the server. The server sends a smart card interface module to the client. The server requests an access code from the user to access the smart card. Once the server receives the access code, the server accesses user information stored on the smart card utilizing the program and the access code. The server compares the user information with authentication information available to the server but not the client. If the user information matches the authentication information, the server grants the client access to the restricted information.
