Abstract

A data transmission method uses at least two communication networks to exchange data. The data transmission method on a first medium includes an operation for opening a communication session on the first communication medium and during the session, an operation for receiving confidential information on a single address terminal on a second communication medium, and an operation or transmitting, on the first communication medium, a confidential message representing the confidential information and an operation for verifying whether the confidential message corresponds to the confidential information.

Claims

1. A method for transmission of a secured electronic message, comprising the steps of:

receiving by an information processing system, from a user, via a communication network, the message to be transmitted, an identification of the user, and an identification of a destination for said message;

opening a communication session between a remote communication device corresponding to the identification of the destination of said message, and the information processing system;

generating, by said information processing system, a first confidential information for single use that cannot be used except during said communication session;

and, during said communication session;

transmitting, by the information processing system, of the first confidential information via a first transmission support,

receiving, by the information processing system, said first confidential information from a second transmission support different from the first transmission support,

verifying the first confidential information by said information processing system, and

if the first confidential information is verified, supplying the secured message, by the information processing system, to the remote communication device corresponding to the identification of the destination of said message,

the method further comprising the step of authenticating said user, wherein the authentication step comprises the steps of;

generating, by said information processing system, a second confidential information for single use;

supplying to said user, by said information processing system, of the second confidential information, on a third transmission support,

receiving, by the information processing system, of the second confidential information, on a fourth transmission support different from the third transmission support, and

verifying the second confidential information by said information processing system.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of informing said user of the supply of the secured message to said destination.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of delivering to said destination a certificate which identifies said user.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of memorizing at least one record of at least one operation, in the information processing system.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first transmission support is a wireless support.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second transmission support is the Internet.
