Abstract

The invention relates to a method for publicly providing protected electronic documents, wherein a first user, after a user authentication process, transmits a private electronic document from a data terminal via a communications network to a private storage medium of a data processing device and stores the document on said medium. Thereafter, an analysis and comparison module is activated, which analyzes and compares the private electronic document to the public electronic documents in a public storage medium, and when a second user accesses the private electronic document of the first user, a public electronic document from the public storage medium is provided by the authentication and access control module instead of the private electronic document.
