Online banking is pretty common these days, but so are people looking to get their grubby hands on your information! That’s why IBM developed the ZTIC USB stick, which allows for completely secure banking.
The ZTIC (or Zone Trusted Information Channel) is a dongle that allows for secure banking, even on a very infected machine. The way it works, is it opens an SSL connection with your bank’s servers, keeping data safe on its side (with no internal storage of its own) and displays the transaction on the built in display. Even if you’re attacked by a “man-in-the-middle,” the action will be shown on the display – a single press of the big red panic button and you’re in good shape! If you want to see it in action, be sure to check out this video.
Pricing and availability is reported to be based on what bank you use, but no actual details have been ironed out.

Nice share on the online banking safe. I think your blog should come up much higher in the search results than where it is showing up right now.

Now the problem is, if there's a malware as the middle man, how do you do online banking using this device? Remember you canceled the transaction.
It is a pretty good device to provide safety on online banking.

That looks pretty cool, and is an interesting idea.

Capital markets may be classified as primary markets and secondary markets. In primary markets, new stock or bond issues are sold to investors via a mechanism known as underwriting. In the secondary markets, existing securities are sold and bought among investors or traders, usually on a securities exchange, over-the-counter, or elsewhere........
