Abstract:
1. A device for generating a virtual network user, that, for the purpose of privacy, is used as a pseudonym under which a physical person or legal entity is enabled to gain access to the Internet and to engage services that are implemented via the network, whereby the virtual network user is defined by a selectable predetermined combination of attributes or arbitrarily predetermined attributes, comprising: a network access device, and a transformation system that serves to implement the virtual network user, conveying data streams that are stored in a memory of the transformation system in the order they incurred, so that with the virtual network user contact can be established, whereby the transformation system is activated by the network access device upon entering the attributes into the network access device, and further comprising: an access system, which is assigned to an independent authority, and which if activated initiates readout of data from the memory of the transformation system which contains information about the network access device through which the virtual network user accessed the network, wherein the independent authority as proof of its authorization to access data that identifies the user is provided a media by an operator of the network where the virtual network user is active, on which certified data in machine-readable format is stored, the data proving the identity and authorization of the physical person that represents the independent authority to access the memory of the transformation system, and that for the verification of access rights and release of the access a reader is provisioned, which generates from a conjunctive combination of the read data from the media with identifying information that characterize the representatives of the independent authority, an access-confirmatory data set, wherein the user obtains access to the transformation system that generates the virtual network user with a media on which data is stored in machine-readable format, which contains verifiable data of the user or exclusively characterizing data of the virtual network user, and that the release of network access is obtained using a reader, from a service provider, which generates confirmatory data to release access to the transformation unit by a conjunctive link of the data stored on the media, and verifiable data handed over to the service provider and verified prior to receiving the card, which allows verification of the fulfillment of necessary conditions, wherein at an authentication station an authentication module is provided, that is used while creating a role card characterizing the virtual network user a role provider confirms with the user information that requires certification is at least verifiable by the role provider, for plausible reasons, and wherein the authentication module with the role provider, on one hand, and the user, on the other hand, is equipped with individually associated input devices, by which uniquely characterizing properties are entered, at the same time or within an input period of defined duration.
