Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A system and method for performing an electronic transaction, including registration, audit and trusted recovery features. A transaction request message is received from a registered user that includes an unblinded validated certificate, and a blinded unvalidated certificate. If the unblended validated certificate is determined to be legitimate, then a transaction can be performed, and the blinded unvalidated certificate is validated to obtain a blinded, validated certificate that is sent to the user. An audit protocol can be used to further verify the legitimacy of the transaction request message, and a user can recover from a broken connection by replaying a protocol run.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 2, 1999. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 2, 2019.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 2, 2021.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
