Whatever is in the file has to go over the network to the server which means I can capture it with a network scanner. &nbsp;Is your method secure enough to not be broken by that?

Hi All,<br />
<br />
Not 100% sure how to go about this one.<br />
<br />
I am looking to secure a page on a web site, but what I am after is a way to make the web page look for a specific USB security key (like a hardlock of sorts) before the page will open.<br />
<br />
Site is in PHP at the moment.<br />
<br />
Is what I am after even possible? As i would prefer not to have the USB install anything onto their computer, I really just want it to look for the file that is hidden on the USB<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />

Can you set a website to look for a USB security code before opening?

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
