METHOD FOR SECURELY TRANSMITTING A DIGITAL MESSAGE
The invention relates to a method for securely transmitting a digital message. The digital message is transmitted using an electronic mail service. A user of the service has a system comprising a computer with a browser, which can be ran on the computer, and an internet connection, and the electronic mail service uses a trust center. First, the user determines a password using the browser. A user password verifier is generated from said password using a cryptographic derivation. The user password verifier is transmitted to the electronic mail service and is stored on a storage medium of the electronic mail service, for example in a database. A user secret is generated from the password by means of a cryptographic derivation. The user secret is the symmetric key for encrypting the user-specific user master secret. The user secret is encrypted using the public key of the trust center, and the encrypted user secret is transmitted to the electronic mail service from which the encrypted user secret is then transmitted to the trust center. The electronic mail service transmits a function request for generating a user master secret to the trust center. The user secret is decrypted in the trust center, and a user master secret is generated. Furthermore, a user ID is generated in the trust center. The user master secret is then encrypted in the trust center using the user secret, and the user ID and the user master secret encrypted using the user secret are transmitted from the trust center to the electronic mail service, where the user ID and the user master secret encrypted using the user secret are stored.

The invention relates to a method for paying fees for an item of mail. The invention also relates to a payment system having the components of franking and checking for an item of mail provided with an address, and to a program product for a smartphone for the franking component, for use in the payment system. According to the invention, the user creates an image of at least part of the surface of the item of mail using a smartphone, and said image is sent to a computer system of a logistics company if the image quality is sufficient. At the logistics company, a virtual postal account of the user is debited and a first ID code is generated, which is forwarded to the local sorting centres of the logistics company. If the item of mail is delivered to a sorting centre, a further image of the part of the surface of the item of mail is recorded and a second ID code is generated there. The two ID codes are compared and the item of mail is transported further if the two ID codes correspond within previously defined limits.
At least one image, which can be analysed by computer and shows at least one face of the item, is generated for an item that is to be transported at a predefined time. By automatic analysis of this image, the arrangement determines, for at least one of a plurality of predetermined optically detectable features, the value of said feature for this image of the item. The identification feature value vector generated in this way is automatically compared with stored registration feature value vectors, wherein said registration feature value vectors belong in the records for a plurality of items. A record for a particular item comprises six registration feature value vectors and each of the six registration feature value vectors specifies a value for each predefined optically detectable feature for each one of six faces of the item. When the identification feature value vector matches a stored registration feature value vector with sufficient accuracy, a message is generated. This message provides information regarding the particular item to which the data record containing the stored registration feature value vector which has been determined to match belongs, and the message can be used for onwards transportation of the item.
