Abstract
In order to prevent the use of a virtual prepaid card illegitimately acquired and transmitting only one identification code, for example read after the card has been scratched, to a service provision server, a second code is delivered on paying for the card, and the two codes have to be authenticated so that the user-purchaser of the card can subsequently use the service concerned in the server still using only the first code.
