Abstract: In a method for using an automatic machine by a user for processing a payment transaction with respect to an internet purchase between the user and an e-commerce provider, the e-commerce provider or the automatic machine requests an identification code for a payment transaction from a background system. The background system assigns an identification code, wherein the identification code identifies the internet purchase, and transmits the identification code to the e-commerce provider or the automatic machine. The e-commerce provider or the automatic machine transmits the identification code and/or a payment request to the user. The user makes a payment to the automatic machine and the automatic machine sends a confirmation of payment to the background system. Subsequently, the payment between the automatic machine and the background system and between the background system and an acquiring account is cleared.

Abstract: A method of protecting a microcomputer system against manipulation of data stored in a memory assembly of the microcomputer system is provided. The method may protect, for example, a control program stored in the memory assembly of a motor vehicle control device. To secure and reliably protect the microcomputer system against manipulation of the data, the data is stored in the memory assembly marked or encrypted using an asymmetrical encryption method. The data may, for example, be encrypted outside the microcomputer system using an encryption algorithm and a private key, which is accessible to only a limited group of persons. The data may be decrypted in the microcomputer system using a decryption algorithm and a freely accessible public key.
