Sandboxing the Seal One USB

The Seal One USB 3200 K is a security device that lets you authorize bank transactions. It has a built-in display and presents itself as a virtual CD-ROM drive with a small application that you need to run on your computer. This closed-source, proprietary application requires Internet access and should not be trusted. This article describes how you can sandbox it in order to reduce the risk to your privacy.

The manufacturer provides no documentation about technical aspects or sandboxing strategies, which I find disrespectful. Therefore, I had to do some research myself.

I am guessing that other Seal One USB models work in the same way. If you have more information, please drop me a line.
