Patent attributes
A user device and a server conduct a secure online transaction. The user device transmits received user login and credentials to the server, as well as one or more properties of the user device, such as a list of applications stored on the user device. The server transmits one or more restrictions back to the user device, such as which ports to close, which applications to close, and what features of applications and the operating system should be limited during the transaction. After implementing the restrictions, the user device and the server conduct the online transaction. A unique ID may be transmitted throughout the transaction and the unique ID may be a hash. After the transaction, the user device purges transaction data, restores normal operation, and notifies the server. The transaction may be conducted in a second tunnel and the other communication via a first tunnel.
