A method and device for communication, in which a random code is used in the communication. The method comprises storing a random code in a first device; storing the random code in a second device; and using the random code in a subsequent communication. The invention may be employed in a financial transaction. That is, the random codes may be used either as keys to endorse payment instructions with a digital signature; or as "virtual cash", in which case the codes themselves are transmitted between the parties. Another application of the invention is in transferring confidential information by a "one time pad" security technique, in which a random list of numbers is used to encode the character code for a symbol, by a simple numerical operation. |
