Abstract

A method for providing an authenticated connection between at least two communication partners and to a communication system. The method includes providing a shared secret key for the at least two communication partners; setting up an anonymous signal-conducting connection between the at least two communication partners, wherein all messages of the connection between the at least two communication partners are encrypted using the shared secret key; and authenticating the connection between the at least two communication partners by a user. The method provides a secure and convenient authentication of a connection between two communication partners, wherein the authentication is effected at the application level.
