Abstract: This invention relates to a method to protect an assembly implementing a cryptographic calculation process which uses a homographic function f of type: f(z)=(az+b)/(cz+d) when (cz+d) is not equal to 0 and f(?d/c)=a/c the function f operating on masked variables, wherein, for any k, if x is an input and y=f(x+k) is an output of the function f, to pass directly from a masked value x+m_i (additive masking of type XOR) to a masked value y+m_j, the method consists in comprises of performing this operation using a composition of several transformations operating on GF(2^k) with addition of the infinite, defined as (ax+b)/(cx+d), and of transformations which exchange two points.

Abstract: The method according to this invention concerns a method for automatically generating cryptographic algorithms with optional supplementary data, said algorithms comprising two different zones: external algorithm secrecy zone, in external parts of the algorithm exposed to side-channel analysis, and an internal purely cryptographic zone that is not exposed to side-channel analysis, such that in the algorithm secrecy zone, the code of the algorithm is locally made of random (or pseudo-random) and independent sequences of instructions and/or table-lookups chosen from some fixed set of instructions and random constants, with some fixed prescribed probability distribution, and such that the internal cryptographic security zone can be any cryptographic algorithm or method that handles algorithmic security only and does not have to be protected against side-channel attacks.

Abstract: The invention concerns an anti-pirate method for the distribution of digital content by pro-active diversified transmission, associated transmitter device and portable receiving object. The method, designed to make the same information (Kc) available to several receivers (1) belonging to a group (G) of receivers, each receiver storing information (SAi) specific to it, is characterized in that it includes the following steps: define a relation Kc=f(K, bi, SAi) where (f) is a given function, (K) is information common to all the receivers, and (bi) is information different for each receiver and for each value of the information (K); —enable each receiver to access information (bi) before making (Kc) available; and transmit the information (K) to all receivers, just before making (Kc) available; so that each receiver can calculate information (Kc) using said relation.
