Abstract: Systems and methods for authentication of a user by an identification center are disclosed. A preferred embodiment of the invention includes the transfer over a communication medium of an encryption key to the user and/or the identification center, receipt by the identification center of a password encrypted by the user, simulation by the identification center of the encryption, comparison of the simulated encrypted password(s) with the received encrypted password, and authentication of the user if comparison results are sufficient. In another aspect of the invention, the encryption key is outputted by an identification center terminal and manually inputted into a user terminal.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and a system of establishing safe and secured identification and authentication of a user, especially a credit or a smart card user, without requiring the users to directly feed their credit card number or names into the computer system. A direct line or a communication network is communicating between a user and an identification center, in some of the preferred embodiments of the present invention through an intermediate service provider, (for example the identification center is a credit card company, or a central access verification and control unit and the intermediate service provider is an e-commerce Internet services or products provider). The method of establishing secured identification and authentication procedure of a user by an identification center is based on the user and the identification center sharing a common secret. The common secret information lies is a string of identification data that includes N symbols associated with respective N ordinal numbers.

Abstract: A container is constructed from a pouch having a front sheet, a rear sheet and a bottom sheet. The bottom sheet of the pouch is folded along a midline thereof with flaps extending downward from the fold line. Each of the bottom edges of the flaps are welded to or integral with one bottom edge of either the front or the rear sheet. Lateral edges of the front and rear sheets are welded to one another with the bottom two portions of the welded edges sandwiching both lateral edges of the bottom folded sheet. To construct the container, a central portion of the bottom sheet is unfolded such that the unfolded portion has an essentially rectangular shape, thus forming said base, with central parts of the bottom edges of the bottom sheet forming the front and rear edges of the base and with peripheral portions of the bottom sheet forming two overlapping triangular portions with the bottom edges thereof defining the two side edges of the base.
