Abstract: A remote transaction processing system, method and point of sale terminal are disclosed. The system includes a first data store, which includes a user device profile for a user device, the user device profile including routing data for routing communications to the user device. Upon receiving a payment request designating a user device for a transaction with a merchant, the remote transaction processing system is arranged to retrieve a Point-of-Sale, PoS, configuration profile corresponding to the merchant and retrieve the user device profile from the first data store corresponding to the designated user device. The remote transaction processing system is arranged to communicate a PoS configuration dependent on the PoS configuration profile to the user device in dependence on the routing data, the PoS configuration being executable by the user device to cause the user device to act as a PoS terminal for the transaction with the merchant.

Abstract: The “first” portable electronic entity (100) includes elements (105) for connection to a host station and a memory (120) storing instructions of an application (121) adapted to be at least partially loaded into the host station, to be executed by the host station and to collaborate with a server connected to the host station to effect the personalization of a “second” portable electronic entity (100). In embodiments, the second electronic entity is the first electronic entity. In embodiments, the application is at least partially executed by the first portable electronic entity.

Abstract: The embodiment(s) relates to a method and system for authenticating a user conducting a payment card transaction using a payment card. The method includes comparing, in a secure element containing secured data including a first code and first payment card information associated with the first code, or a mobile device to which the secure element is connected, the first code with a second code provided as an entry at the mobile device, and the first payment card information with second payment card information of the payment card read from the payment card via a card reader of the mobile device when the payment card is near the card reader of the mobile device. The method includes transmitting user authentication information associated with the first code for conducting the payment card transaction when there is a match between the first and second codes and the first and second payment card information.

Abstract: A host station includes: a first electronic component having a “first” identifier, conforming to a predetermined convention, identifiers according to the convention including a “common” part, common to electronic components of the same family, and a “unique” part specific to each instance of an electronic component in the same family, at least one second electronic component having a “second” identifier conforming to the convention, and the common part of the second identifier being different from the common part of the first identifier, and verification of matching in accordance with a predetermined rule of the unique part of the first identifier with the unique part of the second identifier.

Abstract: A method of protecting a secure USB key comprising: a step of obtaining at least one parameter concerning the use of a function that can be executed on said key; a step of detecting at least one blocking condition that depends on said parameter, and where appropriate, a first check step suitable for preventing the execution of said function; a step of detecting at least one determined event independent of said function; and a second check step suitable for authorizing the execution of said first check step only in the event of said determined event being detected, said second check step being active even when said blocking condition is not satisfied.

Abstract: The invention concerns a microcircuit card comprising means (RX) for receiving a command and means for modifying at least one performance of the card capable of being implemented after a step of personalization of the card.
