In this paper, an innovative and secure method for payments on the Internet is described which uses the German electronic purse. We describe how the method of payment using the German electronic purse is used today at off-line terminals at the merchant's site. The security mechanisms of the payment system are described in detail. We discuss the adaption of this method to secure payments on the Internet.
