The present invention relates to a method, a system and a
computer-readable medium storing computer-executable components in
connection with transfer of information data to a recipient. The
invention is based on the idea that generation of random number data and
the calculation of digital signatures are performed before information
data is accessible to a digital pen. Since asymmetric encryption of data
is a demanding operation for said digital pen to perform in terms of
processing power, a lot of time can be saved if the generation of random
number data and asymmetric encryption of said random number data is
performed in advance, when the pen is in an idle, non-communicating mode,
for example during battery loading of the pen or when the pen is lifted
from the position-coded paper. This alleviates delay times when the pen
is in its communicating mode.
