METHOD FOR PRIVATELY TRANSMITTING INFORMATION BETWEEN USERS OF A DATA TRANSMISSION NETWORK

摘要

The invention enables a network user to organise a private address space and protects against unauthorised information distribution. At the beginning, one or more messages about the person of an information receiving user are formed on the device of the information receiving user and the messages are transmitted to the address of an intermediate device, which is regional device for the information receiving user and in which the messages and the network address of the device of the information receiving user are recorded. Afterwards, a message about the person of the information receiving user and a message about a region where the information receiving user is located are formed on the device of an information sending user and are transmitted to the address of the intermediate network device, which is regional for the information sending user and in which the address of the intermediate device which is regional for the information receiving user, a message about the address of the device of the information sending user and the received messages are transmitted to the address of a second regional intermediate device of the network. On the intermediate device, which is regional for the information receiving user, the message about the person of the information receiving user received from the information sending user is compared with the earlier received messages about the person of the information receiving user, the address of the device of the information receiving user is identified according to comparison results, a message about said address is formed and transmitted to the device of the information sending user. An information message for the device of the information receiving user and a message about the person of said user are formed on the device of the information sending user and the thus formed messages are transmitted to the address of the device of the information receiving user.
