Abstract

Web tokens provided with a signature of a web page visitor solve a problem of time-consuming verification of authenticity of web pages. This is a key element for a visitor/user to avoid web fraud. The invention makes it possible for the Internet users to add a personal signature to trust tokens that are often subject to fraud. The user thus immediately sees whether a visited web site is authentic or fake. The visitor of web pages thus avoids the inconvenient following of links, via which authenticity of a web site can usually be verified.

Web tokens with a signature of a web page visitor that are processed among a group of computers connected via the Internet, wherein this group consists of a visitor (A) from a multitude of possible visitors, a provider (B) of a token (2d) and a trusted certificate receiver (C), characterised in that upon a request for visiting a web page (2a) initiated by the visitor (A) a server of the provider (B) for the web pages displays with the token also the visitor'"'"'s signature, if said signature had earlier been registered with the provider (B).
