Abstract

A method for providing an authenticated connection between at least two communication partners and to a communication system. The method includes setting up an anonymous signal-conducting connection between the at least two communication partners; checking the authenticity of a signed certificate used by a first communication partner of the at least two communication partners by a second communication partner of the at least two communication partners; reproducing an authentication code by the second communication partner after the check of the authenticity of the signed certificate used by the first communication partner has been carried out; and confirming the authentication code reproduced by the second communication partner by a user by the first communication partner. The method provides a possibility which increases the security of a certificate-based authentication of a communication connection between at least two communication partners.
