Abstract:
1. A method for permitting a Customer (C) to perform anonymous and secure on-line payments via a fixed or mobile telecommunications terminal, comprising the steps of: offering to the Customer (C), from an Anonymity Server (SA), online acquisition of anonymous payment means for an on-line payment via the fixed or mobile telecommunications terminal, said on-line acquisition being based on a protocol that does not enable the Anonymity Server (SA) to link the anonymous payment means to the Customer (C); opening, at a Payment Server (SdP), an anonymous account for the Customer (C) from the fixed or mobile telecommunications using the acquired anonymous payment means; and operating the Payment Server (SdP) for use of the opened anonymous account by the Customer (C) to effect on-line purchases on Merchant Sites (SM) using the opened anonymous account and to manage the anonymous account.
