Abstract: A method of replacing an authentication parameter for authenticating a security element co-operating with a terminal includes storing in the security element a first authentication parameter; transmitting to a mobile network operator the first authentication parameter for the operator to record it in its authentication system; on occurrence of an event, having a remote platform transmit to the security element an indicator informing the security element that it is authorized to replace the first authentication parameter with a second authentication parameter if its authentication fails; on occurrence of the event, having the entity transmit to the operator a second authentication parameter to replace the first authentication parameter; and in the event of subsequent failure of the security element to connect to the mobile network and if the indicator is present at the security element, replacing the first authentication parameter with the second authentication parameter at the security element.

Abstract: A method for establishing OTA sessions between terminals and an OTA server in a telecommunications network, each of the terminals interacting with a security element capable of interrogating the OTA server to establish a secure session in order to download data from the OTA server via a reverse proxy server in order to update security elements. The method includes provision by an OTA server to reverse proxy server of a list of identifiers of security elements for which an update is available; only establishing a secure session between the security elements and the OTA server for the security elements having identifiers included in said list.

Abstract: The invention is a method for loading data into a portable secure token comprising a plurality of security domains. A first security domain comprises a first administration agent and a second security domain comprises a second administration agent. A remote application server comprises a first data to be provided to the second administration agent. A syndication server, which is distinct from the remote application server, contains a list which comprises a reference to the first data. The list is sent in response to a polling request that is sent by the first administration agent. This list is comprised in a polling response which is sent by the syndication server.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for initiating an OTA session in a mobile radio communication network at the request of a user of a mobile terminal. The OTA session is established between the mobile terminal and a remote OTA server, the mobile terminal including a security element such as a UICC card. According to the invention, the method comprises: i) entering a special code using the man/machine interface of said mobile terminal; ii) said security element intercepting said special code; and iii) opening said OTA session between said mobile terminal and said remote server in a secure mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for securing the execution of an onboard NFC application in a secure element which does not include a native OTA application. The secure element interacts with a mobile terminal including a removable card. According to the invention, the method includes recording an identifier of the removable card in the secure element no later than when the NFC application is loaded onto the secure element. When an event occurs, a verification is made, in the secure element, whether or not the identifier of the removable card present in the mobile terminal corresponds to the identifier previously stored in the secure element, in order to detect a possible change of the removable card.

Abstract: The invention is a method of managing an application embedded in a secured electronic token. The token is intended to receive a message from a server machine. The message has a header and a body. The token comprises an agent able to manage the message. The method comprises the steps of: a) registering the application in the agent by associating a reference of the application with a value of an element of the message header, b) when the message is received from the server machine, forwarding part of the message to the application if the message header contains an element having the value associated to the reference of the application.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method and a software module making it possible to secure communications with a sensitive application, for which exchanges with the outside have been delegated to a so-called interfacing application. Accordingly, the present invention describes the application of security rules to all or some of the commands destined for this sensitive application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for communicating information. A first device is coupled to a secure element. The secure element sends, at an initiative of the secure element, to the first device a secure element identifier. The first device sends to a second device at least one first message comprising the secure element identifier. The second device sends to a third device at least one second message comprising the secure element identifier and two communication network subscription identifiers, as associated data, the second device adding the two communication network subscription identifiers. The third device stores the associated data. The invention also relates to a corresponding system.

Abstract: (EN) The invention makes it possible to allow several applications to coexist in the same card; the implementation of the applications uses reading and writing of data by the reader in the same memory location. The invention is a method for exchanging data between a mobile authentication device 3 supporting several applications Z1 to Z3 and a reader dedicated to one application in which the reader sends an authentication command and at least one read and/or write command. The authentication command allows the mobile device to authorise a transaction for at least part of an application Z1 to Z3 supported by the said mobile device. In response to the authentication command, the mobile device selects the application of the device that corresponds to the reader. The read and/or write command is carried out by addressing a definite block of data. In response to the read and/or write command, the mobile device addresses the block of the selected application.

Abstract: Content data available in a server is downloaded to portable communicating objects via a radio communication network during a data downloading campaign initiated by a portable communicating object upon transmission of a request of content availability to the server when at least one request transmission triggering element fulfills a rule stored in the portable communicating object. Upon reception of the content availability request, one of the devices including the server and the portable communicating object determines whether the content data are available for the portable communicating object so as to transmit the same thereto.
