At first, design principles are given based on the analysis of the existing attacks today. Secondly, the solution overview and usage overview are presented. Thirdly, we give the software architecture and the particular implementation. At last, the advantages of IDKeeper are given in conclusion. With IDKeeper, IDs and passwords are stored on users' USB Key, coupling ID/Password to users, not to their machines or to the third-party servers.
