First Claim
1. A method of preparing a transaction between a first server and a second server that are communicatively coupled together via a first telecommunications network, the method comprising:
- setting up a first wireless communications channel between said first server and a first mobile terminal;
setting up a second wireless communications channel between said second server and a second mobile terminal;
setting up a local wireless communications channel between said first mobile terminal and said second mobile terminal;
said first server sending an initial signal on said first wireless communications channel to said first mobile terminal;
said first mobile terminal receiving said initial signal on said first wireless communications channel and sending said initial signal to said second mobile terminal on said local wireless communications channel;
said second mobile terminal receiving said initial signal as a received signal from said first mobile terminal on said local wireless communications channel and sending said received signal on said second wireless communications channel, said received signal being received by said second server;
said first or said second server verifying said received signal by comparing said initial signal with said received signal; and
as a function of a result of said verification, permitting said transaction.

Abstract
Before effecting a transaction (E100) between two servers, this method sets up (E10) a communications channel in a wireless telecommunications network between each server and a mobile terminal. One of the servers sends (E30) a signal on its wireless communications channel. That signal is received (E40) by the mobile terminal in wireless communication with the server, emitted (E50) by the loudspeaker of that mobile terminal, picked up (E60) by the microphone of the other mobile terminal, and sent (E60, E70) by wireless communication to the other server. If the received signal is validated (E90) by one or both of the two servers, the transaction is effected (E100).
