The invention relates to a valve, in particular a shuffle or sliding valve, for essentially gastight closing of a flow path (F). The valve includes a valve housing (1;1a) having a first wall (2) which has a first opening (3) and a first valve seat (4), a valve disk (5) having a closing side (6) with a sealing ring (7) and at least one drive (8). Through the drive (8), the valve disk (5) is pivotable or displaceable from an opened position (A) essentially parallel to the first valve seat (4), and the perpendicular distance between the valve disk (5), and the first valve seat (4) can be reduced so that, in the closed position (C), the flow path (F) is closed essentially gastight by an axially sealing contact between the sealing ring (7) and the first valve seat (4). The valve disk (5) includes an outer disk section (9), which is connected to the drive (8) and fixes the sealing ring (7) in the perpendicular direction to the first valve seat (4), and an inner disk section (10) which has an outer circumferential area (11) and which is mounted so as to be movable relative to the outer disk section (9) in a direction (Z) essentially perpendicular to the first valve seat (4). The outer circumferential area (11) is enclosed essentially gastight with an inner seal by the sealing ring (7). Thus, in the closed position (C), a pressure difference at the valve disk (5) acts essentially on the inner disk section (10) so that the inner disk section (10), decoupled from the outer disk section (9), is supported perpendicularly on a section of the valve housing (1), in particular the first valve seat (4) or a lateral groove (27).

In a server-client computer network system for carrying out cryptographic operations between a client computer workstation and a cryptography server computer system, a computer software programs for communication therebetween are installed in the client computer workstation and in the cryptography server computer system. Said computer software programs are executed in such a way that, when the client computer workstation transmits a request for carrying out a cryptographic operation to the cryptography server computer system, said computer workstation receives an answer therefrom. For this purpose, the cryptography server computer system requests a strong authentication from the client computer workstation. In response, the client computer workstation engages the key of the user thereof for producing said strong authentication. In the case of the successful authentication, the client computer workstation receives a release for initiating one or several cryptographic operations with the aid of the private key. According to said invention, the privet key is stored in the cryptography server computer system and cryptographic operation(s) is (are) authorised for a fixed short time after the successful authentication for carrying out the cryptographic operation(s) requested by the computer software program operating on the client computer workstation. At the same time, the client computer workstation puts at the disposal of the application software program the result of the cryptographic operation(s).
