Abstract: A method for supplying and a method for obtaining, by a terminal, from a first user, a biometric signature of a second user. The terminal receives a radio signal transmitted by a transmitter device according to a near-field communication technology, via a channel using the electromagnetic wave conduction capabilities of the body of the second user when the second user comes into contact with or grazes a surface of the transmitter device and via a channel using the electromagnetic wave capabilities of the body of the first user when the first user comes into contact with or grazes the second user, and obtains, from this radio signal, the biometric signature of the second user. The biometric signature is stored in a secure memory space of the terminal in order to be used subsequently during an authentication of the first user.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for automatically discriminating authentic wireless Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices using a trained machine-learning module. In a training phase, the machine-learning module is trained to identify authentic IoT devices based on data in frame headers of wireless data emitted by the IoT devices. The trained machine-learning module may identify authentic IoT devices without analysing data from the payload of the frames to which the frames headers belong, and thus the privacy of data in the payload of the frame is not compromised and encryption of the payload data does not adversely affect performance of the trained machine-learning module in a subsequent production phase. Each training data sample may consist of header data from a sequence of successive frames of wireless data from authentic wireless IoT devices and, to enhance accuracy, may exclude address data.

Abstract: A method for measuring reputation of paths visiting nodes in a communication network and including, for each node visited by a current path of the network: a) assigning a security score for the node; b) estimating a first trust index based on: a cumulative on the current path of the successive scores of the nodes visited by the current path; and a number of nodes visited by the current path, the estimation of the first trust index providing a reputation measurement for the current path.

Abstract: A method for decoding a coded data stream representing an image. The method includes for a current block: reading from the stream a block size threshold value; determining whether the current block size is less than or equal to the threshold value; if so, decoding information indicating a first or second coding mode and reconstructing the current block according to the indicated mode, and if not, reconstructing the current block according to the first mode. In the first mode the current block is reconstructed using an inverse transform of a transformed prediction residue decoded for the current block, and in the second mode the current block is not reconstructed using such an inverse transform, but by: scanning each pixel of the block, including: obtaining a prediction of the pixel from another previously decoded pixel, and reconstructing the pixel from the prediction and a decoded prediction residue.

Abstract: A data enrichment process including: a) receiving several sets of data, each set of data including fundamental data and metadata; b) grouping the sets of data based on fundamental data according to a similarity function; c) enriching each set of data with a label which characterizes the group to which the set of data belongs; d) for each enriched set of data, searching for a combination of one part at least of the metadata and the label from the enriched set of data in a database storing sets of data each including metadata and a label; and e) removing the label from the enriched set of data if the combination of one part at least of the metadata and the label from the enriched set of data is absent from the database.

Abstract: A method for managing a communication between a base station and a terminal. The terminal is associated with at least one memory having at least two storage areas. The terminal implements: at least one step of storing, in one of the storage areas, a state representative of a transmission, by the base station, of at least one current data packet and control information associated with the current data packet, called current transmission, the storage area being identified by a storage area indicator borne by the control information associated with the current data packet; and transmission, to the base station, of all states stored in the storage areas, when the terminal is authorized to emit.

Abstract: A method for providing to a user terminal a target multimedia content belonging to a first set of multimedia contents available at a master server is disclosed. The method includes, performed by a processing unit of a slave server connected to both the user terminal and the master server through a network, synchronizing (a) the slave server with the master server so that each multimedia content of the first set of multimedia contents available at a master server is also available at the slave server; and providing (b) the target multimedia content to the user terminal from the slave server.

Abstract: In the field of processing streams of audiovisual data, particularly multimedia data, a method for ordering the purchase of a service. A sequence that relates to the service is contained in a multimedia data stream played by a playback device. The multimedia data stream includes a plurality of sequences relating to respective services and associated with respective playback timestamps. The ordering method includes: determining a service identifier corresponding to a playback timestamp of a sequence associated with the service, the playback timestamp of the sequence associated with the service having been determined as a function of a timestamp of an order signal for purchasing a service, the order signal having been generated by a human-machine interface and transmitted by the human-machine interface to a management server distinct from a terminal receiving the multimedia data stream; the service identifier making it possible to generate a signal to save the purchase.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing cybersecurity services by a network and for automating the provisioning of the cybersecurity services are disclosed. The system comprises a connection control function configured to receive a message in response to a request to establish a data connection from a user equipment (UE), the message including a requested CyberSecurity Control service identifier (CSC-ID) corresponding to a first security service of a plurality of security services. The CCF can interact with a cybersecurity control (CSC) function to determine, based on the requested CSC-ID, an allowed CSC-ID for the data connection, the allowed CSC-ID corresponding to a second security service of the plurality of security services; retrieve, based on the allowed CSC-ID, an operator security policy associated with the second security service. The CCF can then select and configure a network function in accordance with the retrieved operator security policy associated with the second security service.

Abstract: A method for recognising a user whose body is capable of re-transmitting an electromagnetic signal in the form of an electromagnetic wave.
