In addition to supporting, it means developing and distributing technical specifications for transaction authentication.

When the transaction authentication device 120 authenticates a transaction with respect to the online device 140, the transaction authentication device 120 grants a transaction authentication mark (see FIG. 4) to the corresponding operator and issues a transaction history confirmation (see FIG. 7) electronically signed by an authorized certificate. It refers to an authorized authentication device that performs a job, such as the audit / operation / management of the transaction authentication registration device 130 and the online device 140, and may be a public certification body that is a corporation. In addition, it is possible to separately specify other matters necessary for other transaction certification services, such as renewal, suspension, abolition, transfer of transaction certification registration device and online device, and transaction certification registration business rules.

Transaction authentication registration device 130 is to perform the identification and screening of the on-line device 140 applied for issuance of the transaction authentication mark, and to request the transaction authentication device 120 issuing the transaction authentication mark of the relevant business Do this. In addition, in the case where the transaction authentication mark registration service is entrusted to the transaction authentication device 120, the operation may be performed (142).

The online device 140 provides online content to the consumer 160 to a business (corporate) that has received the transaction certification mark from the transaction authentication device 120 and receives a transaction history confirmation from the transaction authentication device 120. Such an online device 140 may be designated only if it has necessary matters such as technical capability, financial ability, facilities, and equipment that are separately defined by the transaction authentication device 120.

The content supply device 150 refers to a provider providing digital content used in an information and communication network, and the consumer 160 uses electronic information related to a transaction authentication mark and a transaction history certificate issued by the transaction authentication device 120 and is online. It refers to a transaction device composed of a normal terminal for purchasing digital content or a user using the terminal.

When the transaction authentication registration device 130 is described with reference to FIG. 2 to register the online digital content transaction authentication registration device, first, the financial / technical operation / facility / equipment determined by the transaction authentication device 120 itself. When requesting a transaction certification registration device audit request with relevant documentary evidence (S210), the transaction authentication device 120 examines the technical capability, financial capability, facilities and equipment according to the examination criteria and procedures, and whether there is a designation. It is determined (S212). If the screening criteria are not met in step S212, the transaction certification registration device designation is canceled (S216). If the screening criteria are satisfied, the transaction certification registration device is selected (S214). Report the list of operations, facilities, equipment, etc. (S218).

In addition, a procedure for designating the on-line device 140 (that is, a procedure for obtaining a transaction certification mark) will be described with reference to FIG. 3. On-line device is equipped with necessary matters, such as technical capacity, financial capacity, facilities and other equipment prescribed by the transaction authentication device 120, attaching the relevant supporting documents and requesting the examination of the online device (S220) transaction authentication device ( 120) examines the technical capabilities, financial capabilities, facilities and equipment according to the examination criteria and procedures to determine the designation (S222). If the screening criteria are not satisfied in step S222, the designation of the online device is canceled (S226). If the screening criteria are met, the online device designation is selected, the transaction certification mark (see FIG. 4) is generated and registered at the same time. Issue a transaction certification mark and issue a transaction certification mark (S224).

The transaction certification mark may be used when the consumer 160 confirms whether or not the online device 140 is an authorized corporation approved by the transaction authentication device 120 during an online transaction. Then, report the list of financial / technical operations / facility, equipment, etc. of the applied online device 140 to the general device 110 (S228). In addition, when the transaction authentication device 120 has entrusted the examination of the online device to the transaction authentication registration device 130, the steps S220 and S222 act on the transaction authentication registration device 130, and if the transaction passes the examination, The authentication registration device 130 requests a transaction authentication mark to the transaction authentication device 120, the transaction authentication device 120 issues a transaction authentication mark to the on-line device 140 and the list to the overall device 110. The reporting process proceeds.

The transaction certification cover described in detail with reference to FIG. 4, the transaction certification cover is usually a seven-digit "transaction certification cover number" and issued "date and time of issue", "business name", "business number" of the applied entity "," Address "," representative name "," telephone number "," URL "," content classification "associated with the business item," issuing agency information "of the issuing authority that issued the transaction authentication cover, and the electronic of the transaction authentication device It consists of a signature. The "issuing agency information" is preferably to include the name of the issuing organization and the address of the issuing organization, telephone number, representative name.

Hereinafter, a transaction process of online digital content according to an embodiment of the present invention using the above configuration will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the consumer 160 purchases digital content through a specific online device 140 (S240), the online device 140 generates an electronically signed transaction record to generate a transaction authentication device 120. It transmits to (S242). At this time, the transaction details include the serial number and the date and time of the transaction, the registration number, the transaction number, the transaction time, the ID of the transaction device, the identifier of the content purchased by the transaction device, the content type, and the content as in the normal transaction. It is preferable to display the supplier registration number, the authority to use, the conditions of use, the quantity of contents, the transaction amount, the payment means, the electronic signature value, and the like. In the above, since the identifier and type of the content may be a digital object identifier (DOI), which is a kind of known URN, the description thereof will be omitted, and the usage rights indicate whether the user can read only or edit or resell. The terms of use allow the user to specify the period of use of the purchased content, that is, whether it can be used only once or for one day. As described above, the transaction statement allows the type of digital content purchased by the consumer 160, its suppliers, and details necessary for transaction authentication to be described. The transaction authentication apparatus 120 generates and registers a transaction history confirmation document (see FIG. 7) based on the transmitted transaction statement (S244). The transaction history confirmation is to enable the consumer 160 to inquire and output the transaction history confirmation through the online device 140. In addition, the transaction history confirmation includes the number of the transaction certification cover given to the online device, the serial number of the transaction history confirmation, the transaction date and time, the buyer ID, the homepage of the online device (ie, the seller's homepage), the transaction target, the amount of use, The electronic signature of the online device and the electronic signature of the transaction authentication device are included together with the terms of use, payment means, usage rights, the type of content, the business number of the content provider, the date and time of issue of the transaction confirmation letter, and the issuer name.
