Method of encoding and decoding character trains
First Claim
1. A method of coding and decoding a character train in a data set which can be called up in a computer network and can have an address function including an email address function or can serve to call up a function, the method comprising converting a clear-text character train to a coded character train or a coded character train to a clear-text character train such that each character of the clear-text character set is associated one-to-one singularly with a respective certain character of the coding character set whereby each character of the clear-text character train is found substituted by a character of the coded character train in the data, the decoding is effected by means of a decoding routine which can be called up, and whereby the decoding routine is called up at the moment at which the coded character train is to be reproduced.

Abstract
A method of coding and decoding of character trains in data sets which can be called up in computer networks, whereby the character train has an address function or serves to call up an address function, in particular serving as an email address. By conversion of clear-text character trains to coded character trains and vice versa, each character of the clear-text character set has a particular other character of the coding character set associated in a one-to-one relationship therewith, whereby each character of the clear-text character train is substituted for in the data by a character in the coding character set and the decoding is effected by means of a called-up decoding routine. The call-up of the decoding routine is effected at the instant that the coded character train should be reproduced. The method is used for coding and decoding of email addresses and/or other address information and/or function call ups or function commands.
