CA 2340384

A method and apparatus for an authenticated electronic userid (644) comprising an adapted digital signature (652) is provided. According to an aspect of the invention, the adapted digital signature (652) is generated using a secure hash function (620). In one embodiment, the result of the secure hash function (624) is further modified by selecting a word (656) from a word list (632) that corresponds to a value produced by the secure hash function (620). Inbound electronic messages are analyzed to verify that they comprise an authenticated electronic userid (644) having valid adapted digital signature (652). The verification involves re-computing the adapted digital signature (652) using remote user information (616) and an originator key (610).

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'authentifier l'identification électronique d'un utilisateur (644) au moyen d'une signature numérique appropriée (652). Dans un aspect de cette invention, on crée la signature numérique appropriée (652) en utilisant une fonction de hachage sécurisée (620). Dans un mode de réalisation, on modifie encore le résultat de la fonction de hachage sécurisée (624) en sélectionnant un mot (656) à partir d'une liste de mots (632) qui correspond à la valeur produite par la fonction de hachage sécurisée (620). On analyse les messages électroniques entrants -our vérifier qu'ils comportent une identification électronique d'utilisateur authentifiée (644) ayant une signature digitale appropriée valide (652). Cette vérification se fait en redéfinissant la signature numérique appropriée (652) au moyen d'informations concernant l'utilisateur à distance (616) et d'une clé de desserveur (610).
