Abstract

A device and method for transmitting digital information, where the Transmission takes place from an information-providing entity (71) to a final destination entity (81). It is significant that the digital information to be sent from the first data communication device (70) to the second data communication device (80) is divided into at least two information sections (30-34), that every information section (30-34) is transmitted from the first data communication device (70) to the second data communication device (80) via a separate Transmission (20-24), that Transmissions (20-24) take place in the form of simplex communication, and that the information in the information sections (30-34) is put together in the second data communication device (80) for receipt of the information coming from the information-providing entity (71).

Claims

1. Method for the Transmission of digital information, where Transmission takes place from an information-providing entity (71) to a final destination entity (81), where the digital information is transmitted in a first step from the information-providing entity (71) to an initial data communication device (70), which can receive, process and transmit digital information, where the digital information in a subsequent step is sent from the first data communication device (70) to a second data communication device (80), which can receive, process and transmit digital information, and where the digital information in a subsequent step is sent from the second data communication device (80) to the final destination entity (81), where the digital information to be transmitted from the first data communication device (70) to the second data communication device (80) is divided into at least two information sections (30-34), where each information section (30-34) is transmitted from the first data communication device (70) to the second data communication device (80) by means of a separate Transmission (20-24), where the Transmissions (20-24) take place in the form of simplex communication, and where the information in the information sections (30-34) is put together in the second data communication device (80) in order to receive the information coming from the information-providing entity (71), characterized in that verification/return Transmission takes place such that the digital information that comprises verification/return Transmission is sent in an initial step from the final destination entity (81) to the second data communication device (80) and then on from the second data communication device (80) to the first data communication device (70), where the information is divided into at least two information sections (60-64), where every information section (60-64) is transmitted from the second data communication device (80) to the first data communication device (70) by means of a separate Transmission (50-54), where the Transmissions (50-54) take place in the form of simplex communication, and where the information in the information sections (60-64) is assembled in the first data communication entity (70), in order to receive/reveal the information sent by the final destination entity (81).

2. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the assembly of the information takes place with the help of a hash table.

3. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that at least some of the separate Transmissions (20-24, 50-54) are internally time-staggered.

4. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that at least one of the information sections (30-34, 60-64) contains false information.

5. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that at least one of the information sections (30-34, 60-64) is transmitted via a transmitting/receiving device (10-14 and/or 40-44), which in the sequence of Transmission is located between the first data communication device (70) and the second data communication device (80).

6. Method according to claim 5, characterized in that at least one of the information sections (30-34, 60-64) is transmitted via an additional transmitting/receiving device (40-44 and/or 10-14), which in the sequence of Transmission is located between the first data communication device (70) and the second data communication device (80).

7. Method according to claim 1, characterized in that the Transmission of the information sections (30-34, 60-64) between the transmitting/receiving devices (10-14 och 40-44) takes place via the Internet.

8. Device for the Transmission of digital information, where the device includes an information-providing entity (71) and a final destination entity (81), where an initial data communication device (70), which can receive, process and send digital information, is assigned to the information-providing entity (71), where a second data communication device (80), which can receive, process and send digital information, is assigned to the final destination entity (81), where an initial batch of at least two transmitting/receiving devices (10-14 or 40-44), which in the sequence of Transmission is located between the first data communication device (70) and the second data communication device (80), and where the first batch of sending/receiving devices (10-14 or 40-44) are able to communicate with both data communication devices (70, 80), characterized in-that the first batch of transmitting/receiving devices (10-14 or 40-44) is designed not to perform any processing of the information they transmit or receive.

9. Device according to claim 8, characterized by a second set of at least two transmitting/receiving devices (40-44 or 10-14), which in the sequence of Transmission are installed between the first data communication device (70) and the second data communication device (80), where the second set of transmitting/receiving devices (40-44 or 10-14) can communicate with the first data communication device (70 or 80), and the first set of transmitting/receiving devices (10-14 or 40-44), and where the second set of transmitting/receiving devices (10-14 or 40-44) is designed not to perform any processing of the information they transmit or receive.

10. Device according to claim 8, characterized in that there is a firewall in place between at least one data communication device (70 or 80) and the associated transmitting/receiving devices (10-14 or 40-44).

11. Device according to claim 9, characterized in that there is a firewall in place between at least one data communication device (70 or 80) and the associated transmitting/receiving devices (10-14 or 40-44).
