"A SYSTEM FOR, SECURE COMMUNICATION"-FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system for securely transmitting information across 5 a communication network, such as the Internet. Despite the growing number of people and organisations conducting commercial transactions over the Internet, there are still significant concerns regarding the security of such transactions that limit the potential growth of e-commerce on the Internet. While measures are available to provide various levels of security to data to transmitted over the Internet, these measures generally have drawbacks in terms of the costs, ease of use and the use of computer resources to provide high levels of security. The current standard for secure network transmission is Secure Socket Layers (SSL) which uses Public Key Cryptography. Public key cryptography involves the use of a pair of keys, being a public key and a private key. Any data encrypted by one key 15 requires the other key for decryption. This type of encryption is referred to as asymmetric encryption.. In symmetric encryption, the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. Asymmetric encryption has the advantage that the sender and receiver of"data do not need to have shared the encryption key prior to the communication. The owner publishes the details of the public key and keeps the 20 details the private key secure. Others can send information encrypted with the public key to the owner knowing that only the owner can decrypt it as they alone have the private key. Also the owner can encrypt information with the private key and send this to others. If this information can be decrypted by the public key then the person who decrypts knows it came from the owner of the private key. It is known however, that for a required encryption strength, keys of greater length are required when using asymmetric encryption in comparison to symmetric key encryption. The longer keys mean more computation and asymmetric encryption is therefore often used to simply send a known key which is then used for symmetric encryption of the data. With regard to faceless electronic, communications there are generally 4 security issues that need to be addressed. These issues are : Authentication - A means to confirm that the user is who he says he is. Privacy - A means to ensure that the communication is private and difficult to eavesdrop upon. Integrity - A means to ensure that the communicated data cannot be tampered with or corrupted. Non-repudiation - A means to ensure confirmation or authorisation of the transaction so that the user can hot deny responsibility for the transaction at a later date. Most security systems only deal with two of these issues, namely Authentication and Privacy. The last two issues are more difficult to overcome, with the latter being the most difficult. In order to deal with all four of these issues, it will generally be required to integrate various technologies which deal with specific issues, which is expensive and therefore not available to all users. The present invention provides a system for communicating securely over a communication network, such as the Internet, which attempts to address the above mentioned issues effectively and economically. 3 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is provided a system for secure communication across a communication network comprising: a personal code generation means having one or. more identification codes and one or more encryption codes, the identification and encryption codes being arranged to change at predetermined time intervals; and a code server synchronised with the personal code generation means such that the code server has information regarding the or each current identification code and the or each current encryption code of the personal.code generation means; wherein a user transmits across the communication network, the or each current identification code of the personal code generation means and data encrypted with the or each current encryption code of the personal code generation means and the-code server uses the information regarding the or each current identification code to authenticate the user and the information about the or each current encryption code to decrypt the transmitted data.

DESCRIPTION OFTHE DRAWINGS The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a representation of personal tokens for use with a system for secure communication in accordance with the present invention; Figure 2 is a representation of personal token and corresponding code server for use with the system for secure communication; Figure 3 is a representation of a system for secure communication in accordance with the present invention implemented on a communication network; Figure 4 is a representation of an alternative embodiment of a system for secure communication, in accordance with the present invention implemented on a communication network; and • Figure 5 is a representation of personal tokens having a plurality of encryption codes for use with the system for secure communication. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to the Figures, there is shown a system for secure communication 10 across 5 a communication network 14. The communication network 14 may be a publicly accessible network, such as the Internet, or a private network. The system for secure communication 10 includes a code generation means in the form of a personal token 12. In the embodiment shown in the Figures, the personal token 12 is provided in a physical form such that it is easily carried by a user. The 10 personal token 12 may, for example, be in the form of a pendant 17 or card 18. In a further embodiment, the personal token 12 may be provided as software functioning as a virtual device on a computer terminal. The personal token 12 is arranged to generate and/or store information including one or more identification codes 20 that are valid at any point in time and one or more 15 encryption codes 22 that are valid at any point in time. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the personal token 12 generates, and/or stores one current identification code 20 and one current encryption code 22. The personal token may include one or more display means 24 on which the current identification code 20 and the current encryption code 22 can be displayed. 20 The personal token 12 is provided with a suitable processing means which is capable of changing the identification code 20 and the encryption code 22 at predetermined time intervals. The identification code 20 and encryption code 22 would change randomly. Also, the time intervals at which the changes occur may not be regular. While the personal token 12 may be a single device which operates as described above, the function of the personal token 12 may be achieved by a combination of devices. For example, it is envisaged that a conventional "Smartcard" and the user"s terminal may act as the personal token 12. As smartcards are readily available, it may 5 be desired to use such devices as the personal token 12. However, these devices do not have a permanent power source or a timing device and are therefore not able to perform the function of the personal token 12 alone. In this case, the smartcard would be provided with an initialisation code for each, of the identification and encryption codes, when first set up by the code server 16. The 10 code server 16 is arranged to generate the changing identification and encryption codes by using an algorithm which is a function of the initialisation codes and a reference clock. Further, the user"s computer is provided with software which is also able to generate the changing identification an encryption codes once provided with the initialisation code, using the same reference clock. 15 In one embodiment, the code server generates a first initialisation code and a second initialisation code for each of the identification and encryption codes when the smartcard is set up. The first initialisation codes are provided to the smartcard and both the first and second initialisation codes are stored by the code server. When the user wishes, to use the system, the user"s computer is provided with the first 20 initialisation codes, which is retransmitted to the code server 16. The code server 16 in response transmits only the second initialisation codes back to the user"s computer, which then uses a predefined algorithm to combine the first and second initialisation codes into the final initialisation codes. The final initialisation codes are then used as mentioned above to generate the changing identification and encryption codes. The secure communication system 10 is also provided with one or more code servers 16 to service a plurality of personal tokens 12. The code server 16 is in the form of a suitable computer connected to the communication network 14. The code server 16 is arranged to generate and/or store information about each of the personal tokens 12 5 that are serviced by the code server 16, including the identification code 20 and encryption code 22. The code server 16 is arranged to be synchronised with each of the personal tokens 12 before use of the personal token 12 is commenced by the user. Following synchronisation, the code server 16 will have information about the personal token 12 such that the code server 16 is able to determine the current 10 identification code 20 and encryption code 22 of the personal token 12 at any instant in time. The user of the personal token 12 is also provided with a Usemame and/or Password associated with the personal token 12. Either a username or password or both may be provided associated with the personal token 12 but in the embodiment described, both 15 are provided. As the identification code 20 and encryption code 22 are available to the holder of the personal token 12, loss of the personal token 12 by the user could result in a breach of security. Information regarding the username and password for the personal token 12 is stored by credit card server 28 but is not stored by the personal token 12. In this way, unauthorised use of the personal token 12 is restricted. The 20 functions of the credit card company server 28 and the code server 16 may be integrated into a single server if required (not shown). Figure 3 shows an.example of the system for secure communication 10 in use on a communication network 14. In this example, a user operating a user terminal 24 requires to communicate securely with a merchant"s server 26 in order to make a purchase. The merchant"s server 26 requires to communicate securely with a credit card company server 28 in order to determine if credit card details provided by the user are valid for the purposes of the present purchase, In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the credit card company has a code server 16 connected securely, for example by a private connection, to the credit card company server 28. Each of the user terminal 24, the merchant server 26 and the Credit Card company server 28 is provided with encryption software capable of encrypting data to be transmitted over the communication network 14 using an encryption code as the key. In use, when the user wishes to transmit his credit card details to the merchant"s server 26, he enters the credit card details into the user terminal 24 along with his username and password. The credit card details are then encrypted by the encryption software using the current encryption code 22 of the personal token 12 which is provided to the encryption software by the user: The encrypted information is then transmitted along with the username and password and the current identification code 20 displayed on the personal token 12 to the merchant"s server 26 over the communication network 14. The current encryption code 22 is not transmitted across the communication network 14. While in the present embodiment, the information generated and/or stored on the personal token 12 is displayed for viewing and then entered manually into the user terminal 24, the personal token 12 may be provided with a communication port (not shown) arranged to connect directly to the user terminal and provide the identification code 20 and encryption code 22 to the user terminal via the communication port. As it is possible that the user may make an error in entering the codes if entering manually, it may be necessary in this case to perform a checking step, prior to transmission of the encrypted communication. If, for example, the user were to enter the correct identification code 20 but the wrong encryption code, the authentication of the user would be correct and transmission could proceed, however the communication would fail due to the encryption codes 22 not matching. In the above mentioned checking step, one-way hashes of the identification code 20 and the encryption code 22 would be sent to the code server 16 which would compare these values with one-way hashes of the identification and encryption codes 16 on the server. If the results differed, the code server 16 could advise the user that an error had been made. Otherwise, communication could proceed. The merchant"s server 26 receives the username and password, the current identification code 20 and the encrypted information from the user terminal 24 and re¬transmits to the credit card company server 28 for validation of the username and password against the current identification code 20 and against the credit card details. The credit card company server 28, against the usemame and password received, requests from the code server 16 its corresponding identification code and verifies that it matches the current identification code 20 received. Following this authentication verification, the credit card company server 28 requests from the code server 16 its corresponding decryption code, which should be the same as the encryption code 22 for the time the information was encrypted and therefore be able to decrypt the information. The decrypted information, decrypted in the credit card company server 28 is compared against the valid credit card details and the merchant"s server 26 is advised, via the communication network 14, whether the transaction may proceed. In the event that any of the steps of verification fail, the user will be notified via the communication network 14 that the transaction cannot proceed and may be requested to enter all the required details again. While this example shows only transmission of information from the user to the location of the credit card company server 28 and its code server 16, information 5 being transmitted in the opposite direction could be transmitted using the same means. That is, if information needs to be transmitted across the communication network 14 to the user from the credit card company, the identity of the credit card company is authenticated with the current identification code 20 provided by the code server 16 and the information would be encrypted with the current encryption code 22 provided 10 by the code server 16. The user could then decrypt the information by providing the encryption code 22 from the personal token 12 to the encryption software on the user terminal 24. Figure 4 shows an alternative arrangement of the system for secure communication 10 shown in Figure 3. In Figure 4, the Credit card company does not have their own code 15 server 16. The code server 1.6 is provided at another location and may communicate with the credit card company server 28 via a code network server 30 also connected to the communication network 14. It is foreseeable that some organisations may. not be able to justify the expense of their own code server 16 and use an arrangement such as this. The method for communication in this case is the same as previously described 20 with the exception of the communication between the credit card server 28 and the code server 16. In this case, as the information is not being passed over a private connection, the information passing between the credit card company server 28 and the code server 16 must also be encrypted. The credit card company in this case will possess their own personal token 12 or another form of code generation means which can be used in the same manner as described above to encrypt transmissions between the credit card company and the code server 16. The system for secure communication 10 described will allow any two computers provided with personal tokens 12 or another form of code generation means within a 5 network to communicate securely, in effect providing in effect multiple "virtual private channels" within any network or communication means irrespective of the network protocol or communication means. The system for secure communication may also be utilised in order to provided a system for secure storage of data which can be accessed across the communication 10 network. The archiving of data is performed by the use of an archiving code. The archiving code is generated by the code server 16 when the code server 16 synchronises with the personal token 12. The archiving code is arranged to change at predetermined intervals in the same manner as the identification and encryption codes 20 and 22 but is known only to the code server 16 and not the personal token 12. The 15 code server 16 is arranged to store also previous archiving codes used by a user. The system for storage of data is arranged to store data in an encrypted format on a storage server on the communication network. The files which comprise the stored data are encrypted upon creation or modification using the encryption code which is current at that time. Also provided is a key archive. The key archive comprises a data 20 file which includes details of the encrypted data files and corresponding encryption . codes, so that access to the key archive allows decryption of the encrypted data files. The key archive is encrypted with the archiving code. In use, when a user requires access to the stored data, the user communicates to the code server 16 his username, password, current identification code and a request to access the stored data, which is encrypted with the current encryption code. The code server, on verifying the user"s identity, accesses the previous archiving code that was used to encrypt the user"s key archive. The code server 16 then provides this to the user along with the current archiving code for that user. This information is provided 5 using the current encryption code. Once the user has this information, their computer is able to decrypt the key archive and therefore access the stored data. The user then creates or modifies stored data as required, which is encrypted following use with encryption keys which are stored in the key.archive. These actions are all performed automatically by software on the user"s computer and occur preferably only in the 10 RAM of the user"s computer. When the user has finished their current session, the key archive is encrypted again with the current archiving key which has been supplied by the code server and the key archive and encrypted data files are forwarded to the location for storage. Before ending the session, the identification and encryption and archiving codes are purged 15 from the user"s computer memory. The code server then stores the current archiving key overwriting the previous archiving key. It will be appreciated that the key archive and the encrypted stored data may be stored together or separately. Also, it does not matter where in the communication network, the key archive or the encrypted data is stored. 20 Figure 5 shows alternative embodiments of personal tokens 12 in which a plurality of encryption codes 22 are provided on the personal token 12. In the embodiment shown, two encryption codes 22 are used.
