Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic transaction method. The method comprises carrying out an initiation communication between a terminal device and a mobile device, and carrying out an electronic transaction on the basis of the initiation communication between the terminal device and the mobile device. The initiation communication between the terminal device and the mobile device is a unidirectional communication in which initiation data is transmitted from the terminal device to the mobile device. The invention furthermore relates to a terminal device for use in an electronic transaction method, and to a transaction application for a mobile device for use in an electronic transaction method.

Abstract: A method for migration of a blockchain to be replaced, called the first blockchain, to a replacement blockchain, called the second blockchain. The migration method comprises: an initialisation of the second blockchain, the initialisation comprising a generation, in a main blockchain configured to supervise access to the first and second blockchains, of a zone of supervision (250) of the second blockchain; the entry of a user comprising a registration in a directory of users in the main blockchain of a secondary address allocated to this user for the connection to the second blockchain; a generation in the second blockchain of a set of blocks of data corresponding to an image of the first blockchain; a switch of all or some of the users of the first blockchain to the second blockchain so as to prevent registration of transactions in the name of these users in the first blockchain and to permit the registration of transactions in the name of these users in the second blockchain.

Abstract: Embodiments leverage the PCI-DSS validation of a backend transaction processing system to avoid the payment application having to meet the PCI compliance reporting requirements of the PCI-DSS. When the payment application needs to collect Sensitive Data for a transaction, the payment application makes a request to the payment library, which in turn requests from the backend system a secure web page including fields for the user to enter the specific Sensitive Data to be collected and typically also including a public encryption key generated specifically for the secure web page. The payment library causes the secure web page to be rendered, thereby allowing the user to enter the required information. Upon completion of such data entry, the data entered via the secure web page is pushed back through the payment library to the backend system for processing. The backend system can decrypt the encrypted data using the private key associated with the public/private encryption key pair.

Abstract: A portable payment or retail terminal with jack connector and a method for secure identification of a cardholder. The terminal comprises a set of devices and arrangement for implementing the method, which comprises at least detecting if the cardholder has a mobile device, configuring the terminal for launching an accessibility mode on the mobile device of the cardholder, and transmitting a request to the mobile device for sending a PIN to the terminal. When receiving a communication from the mobile device including information, the method includes deciphering the information to obtain the PIN code and validating the transaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system (1) comprising one or several execution node(s) (2) able to execute one or several microservice(s) (5), a computer device, called «host server» (3), including several routers (30) constituting an intermediate communication interface between each execution node (2) and the outside of the communication system (1), a heterogeneous computing platform (4), consisting of a set (40) of hardware and software or executable code for the access to and deployment of the microservices (5) on the system in a Java runtime environment (J) on the host server (3) and the execution nodes (2) allowing the execution of computer programs based on the Java language; the communication system (1) allows the creation of ephemeral microservices (5) by the use of a key/value system (6) stored in a distributed memory cache (8) at each creation by referencing each microservice (5) by filenames deposited in the system by a developer (10) and using an asynchronous TCP exchange protocol

Abstract: A method for setting up and maintaining Internet access using a WLAN protocol from a mobile client station, by access points selected in succession, includes setting up a WLAN Internet access by a first selected access point; at that time, opening a first WLAN communication session specific to the first access point; maintaining the Internet access while opening at least one other WLAN communication session specific to at least one other subsequently selected access point. Internet access is maintained in the following way: when the first session is opened, a main communication session is additionally opened using a wide area telecommunication network wireless communication protocol; the opened main session is maintained for as long as one wishes to maintain Internet access; joining the main session as well as each session specific to each selected access point as dependent upon a same unique session identifier.

Abstract: A method and a device for reading out keys of a keyboard. The read-out is realised by randomly generating a scanning pattern comprising for each row and column a read-out value to be applied on the rows and columns. The scanning pattern is preferably changed after having been applied to the keys. After application of the randomly generated pattern, the verification routine is applied in order to identify the selected keys.
