Abstract: In a method for use in a data storage system which applies high safety requirements for the storage of data on a server in a telecommunications network and for the retrieval of the files by the local computers linked with the server via the network, the applicant is provided with a user certificate and public and secret keys, preferably on a chip card. Once the server is dialed up via the Internet, a client program is forwarded to the user which controls authentication of the user and the transmission of additional safety-relevant features of proof such as biometrical systems, geographical positioning, time-dependent data, network and computer data, etc., to the server. The storage system on the server is provided with a locker-type characteristic by establishing folders comprising a specific file for the safety requirements related thereto. The lockers are distinguished by their specific function and are only displayed to the user when the safety requirements are met.
