Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method performed by an apparatus. In the method, a message including a plurality of encrypted payload information items is generated. Each of the plurality of encrypted payload information items is decryptable with a respective decryption key of a plurality of decryption keys. The message is to at least one recipient.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method performed by an apparatus. In the method, a payload information item is obtained that is to be communicated to at least one recipient. An encrypted payload information item is obtained by encrypting said payload information item such that it is decryptable by use of a first decryption key and a second decryption key. Further, a message containing said encrypted payload information item is sent or triggered to be sent to said recipient.

Abstract: A method is disclosed in which an authentication request is received related to authentication of a user of an electronic device towards a server of a service provider. Integrity of the electronic device and/or of an integrity of at least one application of the electronic device is checked. Authentication of the user of the electronic device is performed. Authentication information is returned towards the server of the service provider. A part of the authentication information is indicative of the user having been authenticated by the authentication, and a part of the authentication information represents that the electronic device and/or the at least one application has/have been considered integer by the checking. Further methods and related apparatuses, computer programs and a system are disclosed.

Abstract: A method is disclosed in which one or more pieces of first authentication information are obtained. The one or more pieces of first authentication information represent at least one piece of unique information associated with a user and/or an electronic device of the user. A trust level is determined based, at least in part, on the one or more pieces of first authentication information. The trust level value is indicative of a level of trust in the one or more pieces of first authentication information. An according apparatus, computer program, and system are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention concerns secure access to data in an electronic device (3). For this a link is set up with a server (2). The user of the electronic device (3) and/or the electronic device (3) carries out self-authentication in relation to the server (2). In case that the authentication is successful a first key is received from the server (2) at the device (3). The first key serves for decryption of encrypted data stored on the electronic device (3). The decrypted data are intended for a communication of the electronic device (3). Alternatively the first key is together with data stored on the electronic device (3) intended for the communication of the electronic device (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device, by which eggs in shells are subjected to heat treatment using a liquid or gaseous or vaporous medium, wherein pasteurization is carried out at a temperature in a range from 70 to 75° C. The object of the invention is to destroy or temporarily render dormant harmful microorganisms that can be destroyed at low heat, and further harmful microorganisms and viruses that cannot be destroyed at low heat, wherein altering of the eggs and/or denaturation of the proteins thereof should be prevented. It is proposed to subject the eggs, prior to pasteurization, to a preheating step at a temperature of substantially 60° C., followed by shock-like cooling to 4° to 5° C., and to carry out pasteurization for a duration of between 12 to 18 seconds.

Abstract: In order to use a mobile smartcard reader that can address commercial smartcards conforming to the EMV standard in a simple manner, the invention provides a method for controlling a chip card reader (3) by a computer system (4) connectable to smartcard reader (3), comprising the connection of chip card reader (3) to computer system (4) via an interface (8) designed for data communication on the basis of a protocol provided on a standard basis in operating system (11) of computer system (4); the provision of a control program (7a, 7b) for controlling the functions of chip card reader (3), wherein control program (7a, 7b) is provided as a plug-in; and the controlling of chip card reader (3) by executing control program (7b) on computer system (4). The invention further provides a chip card reader (3) as well as a control program (7a, 7b) for performing the method.
