Patent

CA 2383000

Secure web-based messaging according to a "push" paradigm is augmented by specific, intended recipient authentication. In particular, a document can be sent to a specified, intended recipient through the Web using e-mail recipient notification, and the recipient is authenticated prior to delivering the document to the recipient. Such authentication prevents a cracker from snooping a delivery notification e-mail message and retrieving the document prior to retrieval by the true intended recipient. In addition, such authentication of the recipient is driven by the sender such that prior participation by the recipient in the messaging system according to the present invention is not required.

Selon la présente invention, on augmente la sécurité d'une messagerie Internet fonctionnant selon un paradigme <= pousser >= au moyen d'une authentification de destinataire spécifique. Plus particulièrement, un document peut être envoyé vers un destinataire spécifique par l'intermédiaire du Web à l'aide d'une notification de destinataire de message électronique, ce destinataire étant authentifié avant que le document en question ne lui soit envoyé. Ladite authentification empêche un pirate informatique d'intercepter un message électronique de notification d'envoi et de récupérer le document avant sa récupération par le véritable destinataire. Par ailleurs, l'expéditeur effectue cette authentification de destinataire de façon qu'une participation préalable dudit destinataire à ce système de messagerie soit requise selon la présente invention.
