摘要

Computer system comprises a chip card reader (122) for a chip card (124) with means for reading a first encryption key, data encryption means (114-118) for encrypting data with a second key and data transmission means for transmitting the data encrypted with the second key to a server (106). The server has means for transmitting encrypted data to a second server (108) for storage in an identified storage area. The invention also relates to a corresponding data processing system, computer program product and chip card for use with the inventive computer system.
