Abstract:
In a networked communications system comprising a
client unit, a secured host server, and a company
subscriber unit, a method for providing secured
commercial transactions via the networked
communications system. The method includes the
steps of providing a secured transmission path
via the networked communications system between
the client unit and the secured host server,
presenting the client unit with an order form in
which commercial information is to be entered via
the secured transmission path, receiving the
commercial information transmitted via the
secured transmission path by the client unit at
the secured host server, maintaining the
commercial information solely in the dynamic
memory of the secured host server, encrypting the
commercial information in response to the step of
receiving the commercial information, erasing the
dynamic memory of the secured host server in
response to the step of encrypting the commercial
information, and forwarding the encrypted
commercial information via the communications
network from the secured host server to the
company subscriber unit.
