Abstract
A system for accessing a packet-switching network (4), which is adapted for the use of a simplified signature method. The system includes a supplementary server (60) which is independent of a proxy server (50) of an access provider (12) and a simplified signature module (66) which is provided in the supplementary server (60). The proxy server (50) is equipped with an interface (64) which enables the connection of the proxy server to the supplementary server (60) and the transmission of at least the authentication requests sent by contacted service providers to the supplementary server (60) in order for the requests to be processed by the simplified signature module (66).
