Abstract

An apparatus for releasing received command data includes a processor unit with a code generator, a cryptography module, and a comparison module. The code generator generates a transaction code. The apparatus has a transmitting unit which provides the transaction code via an unsecured data connection, a receiving unit which receives an external authentication code and command data via the unsecured data connection, and a memory unit which stores data of a predefined private key. Also disclosed is a transmission apparatus for command data. The transmission apparatus has a basic receiving unit which receives the transaction code, an input unit which receives the command data, a basic memory unit which stores the data of the predefined private key, a basic processor unit which has a basic cryptography module, and a basic transmitting unit which provides the external authentication code and the command data via the unsecured data connection.
