Abstract

The invention consists of a method so that a telecommunications operator can deliver data messaging, digitally sign it and deliver it to the user with a certificate. The method is based on the:

• • creation of a data message through a user interface, which is
  • delivered to the destination; upon
  • reception of a delivery notification of the data message sent to the destination, the data processing unit creates
  • an electronic document that comprises at least issuing user data, date of issuance, content and delivery notification data of the message sent, said electronic document is encrypted by the
  • implementation of a digital signature algorithm for the creation of a certificate, which is
  • delivery of the certificate to the user through the mail server.

Claims

1. A method for the certification of data messages transmission to mobile terminals wherein the certification is carried out by a telecommunications operator as certification authority, the method comprising the following steps:

creation of a data message in a processing unit for the creation of data messages of the certification system,

delivery of the data message created, via a data messages transmission server, to the mobile terminal through a data messages receiver server of a network of a destination operator of the mobile terminal,

detecting a status of the mobile terminal of the destination user, so that when the mobile terminal of the destination user is active in the network, a SMS with the data of the invoice is delivered emitting an acknowledgement of receipt,

transmitting the acknowledgement of receipt to the data messages receiver server of the operator'"'"'s destination network,

retransmitting the acknowledgement of receipt to the data messages receiver server once the data messages receiver server of the operator'"'"'s destination network receives the acknowledgement of receipt, and

creation in a data processing unit of the certification system, operative for the execution of the certification, of an electronic document that comprises at least user data, date of issuance, content and delivery notification data of the data message sent, being the method characterized by comprising the following steps;

implementation in the data processing unit of a first digital signature algorithm to the electronic document for the creation of a certificate,

sending the certificate to a third party for the execution of a second digital signature,

transmitting the certificate to the outgoing mail server that attaches it to an email message and send it to the issuer of the SMS,

applying a timestamp by means of a timestamping via the data processing unit, and

delivering the certificate to the user through a mail server.

2. The method for the certification of data messages transmission to mobile terminals of claim 1, further comprising storing the data message in a database.

3. The method for the certification of data messages transmission to mobile terminals of claim 1, further comprising a decomposition of the data message is carried out in at least:

origin, destination, text, and delivery date.

4. The method for the certification of data messages transmission to mobile terminals of claim 1, wherein the data message comprises an attached file.
