A method for operating an Internet site providing encrypted contents is
provided, and includes the steps of (a) a site server determining whether
or not a customer accessing the site is a registered subscriber; (b)
automatically generating a customer-unique encryption key, establishing
the site using environment information from the customer computer, and
logging-in through a main page in which the customer can select desired
contents, when the customer accessing the site is a non-subscriber in the
step (a) and the non-subscriber customer requests to register as a
subscriber by providing his personal information to the site server; (c)
logging in through the main page when, in the step (a), it is determined
that the customer accessing the site is a subscriber, using customer
information provided by the customer computer; and (d) providing the
selected content to the customer computer, after encrypting the content
with the customer-unique encryption key.
