Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the danger of tapping by using a WWW browser as a mail client, installing a repeating server between a WWW server and a mail server, permitting the mail client communicate with the WWW server with a ciphering protocol and converting an HTML system into a mail data system with the repeating server. SOLUTION: A mail client 5 communicates with a WWW server 1 by a ciphering protocol 6, using a WWW browser 4. The WWW server 1, whose data system is HTML system communicates with the repeating server 2 in the HTML system, as it is. The repeating server 2 converts the HTML system into the mail data system and communicates with a mail server 3. Thus, special environmental settings as a mail client system becomes unnecessary. Then, the mail client communicates with the WWW browser by using the ciphering protocol. Thus, the possibility of security tapping is eliminated.
