Abstract: A mobile terminal is adapted for mobile payment through payment in accordance with transaction data from the customer to a merchant via a payment service provider, and is adapted for a clearing of the payment between bank servers. The terminal is characterized in that a) in the secure runtime environment access data are stored for an authentication between the payment trust application and the payment service provider; and b) the agent is further adapted b1) upon an authentication between the payment trust application and the payment service provider, to transmit access data, or authentication data generated employing access data, between the secure runtime environment and the payment service provider, and b2) to accept from the payment trust application a transaction instruction for a payment in accordance with the transaction data and to send it to the payment service provider. A corresponding mobile payment method for a terminal is likewise specified.

Abstract: In order to use dynamic data types in user programs when transmitting information over a computer network using the OSF distributed computing environment, where dynamic data types are not provided for, the control instruction "transmit.sub.-- as" or "represent.sub.-- as" provided in DCE is added as an attribute to the data type defined by the user. When the control instruction is compiled, a call to a conversion program is thus inserted into the interface procedure (stub). Every time the dynamic data type occurs in the user program, the conversion program is called by means of the interface procedure, the dynamic data type is converted there into a defined data type available in program execution and capable of being processed by the interface, and is then transmitted via the interface to the network.
