It uses a regular USB flash drive as an access control device, and works as follows: you insert the USB key;, run the application, (autostart with Windows is possible), you do your PC, you simply remove the USB flash drive.

Once it is removed, the keyboard and mouse are disabled and the screen darkens. When you return back to your Windows session, since you do not have to retype your password when you return.
