A number of electronic communications methods are described involving a first party (A) and a second party (B), with assistance from at least a trusted party (T), enabling electronic transactions in which the first party (A) has a message for the second party (B). The first party (A), the second part (B), and the trusted party (T) undertake an exchange of transmissions (1, 2) at least one of which occurs electronically and in an encrypted manner, such that if all transmissions reach their destinations the second party only receives the message if the first party (A) receives at least one receipt. Preferably, the identity of the first party (A) is temporarily withheld from the second party (B) during the transaction. At least one receipt received to the first party (A) enables the first party to prove the content of the message received by the second party (B).

Simultaneous electronic transactions with visible trusted parties

A communication method between a first and second party, in the presence of a trusted party, that enables a transaction in which the second party receives a first value produced by the first party and unpredictable to the second party if and only if the first party receives a second value produced by the second party and unpredictable to the first party. The method includes two basic steps: exchanging a first set of communications between the first and second parties without participation of the trusted party to attempt completion of the transaction, and if the transaction is not completed using the first set of communications between the first and second parties, having the trusted party take action to complete the transaction.

Simultaneous electronic transactions

A method is provided for secure transmission of a message via a network where a recipient of the message need not be a party to the network or maintain an active address in the network. Instead, new accounts are created dynamically by the system of the invention in response to a message addressed to an unknown user by sender who is a party to the network. In the operation of the method of the invention, messages from a network-party sender addressed to such an unknown user are deposited into a unique account created for the addressed recipient. That addressed recipient is notified via a non-network communication path that a message is stored and available to it at a network address, and is provided instructions for accessing that network address to retrieve its message.

Method of transferring data from a sender to a recipient during which a unique account for the recipient is automatically created if the account does not previously exist

An electronic communication in the presence of a trusted party enables an exchange of unpredictable values in which a second party receives a first value produced by a first party and unpredictable to the second party if and only if the first party receives a second value produced by the second party and unpredictable to the first party. The communication includes exchanging a first set of communications between the first and second parties without participation of the trusted party to attempt completion of the exchange of unpredictable values. If the exchange of unpredictable values is not completed using the first set of communications between the first and second parties, the trusted party takes action to complete the exchange. At least one party is authenticated to belong to a group of parties that exchanges unpredictable values. The group may be a group of subscribers. The at least one party may be authenticated by a digital signature. The digital signature may be produced by the trusted party. The digital signature may also authenticate a key of the at least one party.

Simultaneous electronic transactions with subscriber verification

To supply messages to an audience of Internet users, the messages are initially stored on an Internet server which is accessible by a group of Internet clients operated by Internet users, when a message is received at the server, it includes an information part and a data part. The data part includes at least one identifier specifying the intended audience of the message. In the server, the information part of the message is stored as an HTML file in a first store and the URL of the file containing the information part of the message together with the identifier or identifiers of the intended audience are stored in a second store. To view messages intended for a particular user on one of the clients, the client transmits requests automatically at periodic intervals to the server for new messages intended for the user. In response to each request, the server scans the fields in the second store to compile a list of URLs of messages intended for the user. The list is then transmitted to the client which then requests the HTML files for the messages specified on the list. The HITML files are then transmitted to the client where the messages are displayed.

Method for automatic and periodic requests for messages to an e-mail server from the client

A model for secure delivery of documents is proposed, and a prototype system based on earlier work on secure electronic mail and automated document delivery systems is described. In the proposed architecture, security protection is provided for both document requests and the actual documents delivered. Electronic mail protocols are used for document requests and delivery, although file transfer protocols could be used in some circumstances. The document delivery system background is discussed, and the client-server model for the secure system is presented. The security philosophy, requirements, policy, and techniques are dealt with next. The criterion for validation is analyzed, the relationship to OSI (Open systems interconnection) is shown, implementation issues are discussed, and the direction of future efforts is pointed out. >
