2.8 Remote control
This feature enables carrying out the reading and writing operation on the WebIdentity remote device. To this end a
protocol based on challenge/response has been developed which enables exchanging data (reading and writing of the
remote Token) from the client ActiveX to the server ActiveX securely, that is, ensuring confidentiality, integrity and
non-replicability of data.
This function enables storing on the token any kind of information which might concern the user or the service. This
might come in useful for instance with recharge-based, score-based or bonus-based services, for which management is
carried out in a centralized or partially centralized way; in this situation it is therefore necessary to retrieve or setup data
directly from the token and on the token.
