Abstract
The instant application describes a Mobile Service Provider network configured to provide its users with a secure Electronic Mail ('E-mail') bill statement. The network includes first through third servers. The first server is configured to (i) receive, from a user, an enrollment request for a secure E-mail billing statement, the request including an E-mail address and account information and (ii) update the account of the user to reflect that the user has requested the secure E-mail billing statement. The second server is configured to (i) receive the request from the first server; (ii) generate an identifier for the request; (iii) store the request along with the identifier in a table; and (iv) validate the E-mail address of the user by sending an E-mail to the provided E-mail address, the E-mail includes the identifier. The third server is configured to (i) receive a response of the user to the E-mail sent by the second server, where the response includes the identifier and a password; (ii) validate the identifier via the second server; (iii) validate the password via the first server; and (iv) upon successful validations of the password and identifier, forward a successful authentication notice to the first server. The first server, upon receiving the successful authentication notice, is further configured to (iii) update the account of the user to reflect that the user has enrolled in the secure E-mail billing statement and (iv) request the second server to inform the user of the successful enrollment in the secure E-mail billing statement.
