A trusted communication system may comprise: a first token identifying a first portable memory device, a second token identifying a second portable memory device, a database configured to store tokens and associations therebetween and a trusted communication server configured to (i) receive a request from a second client, said second client configured to operate with the second portable memory device, to allow said second client to access a first network resource related to a first client configured to operate with the first portable memory device, the request including the second token, and (ii) query the database to determine whether there is an association between the second token and the first token, wherein upon a determination that the database server contains an association between second token and the first token, the trusted communication server permits the second client access to the first network resource.
