摘要:
The present invention describes a device and a method for performing cashless payments between a customer and a dealer. The advantages of the present invention lie in that payments can be performed over the Internet without implementing special payments commands stored in the customer chip card. It is sufficient to use a normal chipcard with a file structure. Such a file structure can be used in different file system cards and does not depend on the chipcard's operating system. Therefore, the inventive method can be used in a variety of chipcards without implementing special payments commands. The protocol is designed such that per payment only three steps of communication are required.

A computer program product and programmed method for performing cashless payments between a customer and a dealer via a bank. The invention is embodied in an on-line computerized process between customer and dealer to define the payment method, check the availability frame, issue a voucher to describe the transaction, issue a payment instruction, signature of the issued voucher by the dealer and signature of the payment instruction by the dealer and the customer. In another embodiment, the information is gathered and the voucher and payment instructions are generated off-line. A subsequent on-line process between the dealer and bank transfer the signed payment instruction and signed voucher to the bank where computer coded checks the dealer and customer signature, checks the allocation between payment instruction and voucher, replaces the dealer and customer identity data with information for performance of the payment instruction, and performs the payment instruction and stores the voucher. An advantage of the process is that no sensitive customer data such as account number, credit card number etc. is stored on the customer card and hence misuse by unauthorized persons is minimized. In addition the process serves to define the payment methods required by the customer for mechanical processing and to minimize the risk to the customer upon loss of the customer card. The process also allows customers who do not have a bank account, such as children for example, to have access to an electronic payment means with limited availability frame. The customer card can be either a card with contacts or a contactless card.

The present invention relates to a client-server system having a security system for controlling access to application functions. The security system separated from the clients and the application functions routes all incoming requests created by various PVC-devices to a centralized security system providing an authentication component and a security component. The authentication component provides several authentication mechanisms which may be selected by information contained in the client's request. The authentication mechanism may be changed or extended without changing conditions on the client as well on the server or application side. The security component provides a security policy describing security requirements for accessing application functions which may be invoked by the security component. If the selected authentication mechanism succeeds and fulfills the security policy associated to that application function then the application function will be invoked by the security component.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling access to protected web pages on a web server by using a method of authentication. The method according to the invention is divided into a general method for authenticating the client and a downstream method for granting authorization to access the protected web pages by generating a session ID of which the client is notified after successful authentication, and by inserting the session ID as part of the new request. This ensures that even the links on the protected-access web page are covered and are provided with a session ID to serve as access authorization. The session ID is preferably given a validity date. The present invention fits into the existing browser infrastructure without any alterations being needed for this purpose. The use of a chip card increases the security of the method of authentication.

Computer-based methods and systems are described wherein at least one content provider, a portal and a user are coupled to a communications network or content delivery network. The content provider provides means for generating information in a markup language and for sending the information to a portal. The portal comprises means for combining information received from one or more content providers and for sending the combined information to the user.

The present invention discloses a system and method allowing dynamically integrating remote portlets into each Portal by providing local portlets as remote portlet Web-Services by providing, to each Portal-Server, a publishing functionality allowing electronic creation of a service description for each single local portlet and publishing it into a Central-Registry and a find/binding functionality to find remote portlet Web-Services via the Central-Registry and bind them using the service description for accessing the remote portlet. Preferably, each Portal-Server includes a Portlet-Registry component as well as a Portlet-Proxy. The Portlet-Registry provides service description to the Portlet-Proxy that establishes a SOAP-communication with a remote Portal-Server providing the remote portlet Web-Service to be selected. The main advantage of the present invention is that local portlets become available for all Portal-Server without requiring local installation of the portlet code itself. Furthermore, new remote portlets can be included into a portal by finding them in a registry and binding them.

The invention provides a system and program product for caching dynamic portal pages without changing the existing caching proxy infrastructure or the transportation protocol used by providing an advanced caching component. An advanced caching component provides the functionality that additional dynamic page specific cache information is provided as part of the response including the portal page. Each component in the portal that dynamically contributes page fragments to be aggregated to a portal page provides dynamic component specific cache information which includes component specific cache scope and expiration values.

A techinque for communicating with a mobile data processing device by way of a mobile software agent. Any application, such as a banking application which permits cash withdrawals from ATMs, can be represented as a mobile software agent. The mobile software agent is spread across a network to all terminals with cash dispensing functions. The terminals include a communication component having a mobile software agent interface function component and a mobile chipcard interface function component. The mobile software agent interface component provides support functions for receiving and installing the mobile software agent. The chipcard interface component safeguards the communication with the chipcard. The mobile software agent evaluates the information delivered to it from the mobile software agent interface component and then installs itself on the terminals as appropriate. Chipcard-related events are notified via the chipcard interface component to the mobile software agent which, after classifying the chipcard concerned, performs the actions on the chipcard. By implementating these interface components on every terminal in the network, administration of the chipcards in the network can be controlled from the backend system (server).

To provide flexible cooperation between web applications such as portlets. A first web application sends a request via a request dispatcher to a second web application. The second web application returns a response, to the first web application via the request dispatcher, enabling the first web application to display the second web application's response. In preferred embodiments, the second web application is remote.
