A method for operating a security device comprises receiving a request for a transaction from a programmable device executing an application obtained from an application controlling institute, and verifying a validity of the transaction. A user is alerted, in which the user indicates an acceptance of the request. A one-time identifier is generated. The one-time identifier comprises a security device identification, a transaction number, a date and a time. The one-time identifier is communicated to the programmable device, in which the application verifies a validity of the security device identification and instructs the programmable device to communicate the one-time identifier and transaction to the application controlling institute for processing. The application controlling institute verifies validity of the one-time identifier and processes the transaction, wherein said security device, application programmable device and application controlling institute securely processes the transaction.
