Abstract: A method for processing requests sent by a user terminal, carried out by an interface device allowing the user terminal to access a communication network. The method includes: when a received request is detected as intended for being transmitted to a server not authorized by the interface device, receiving a second request intended for being sent to a resolution server associated with the interface device among resolution servers associated with the interface device, and transmitting, to the resolution server associated with the interface device, the second request received or a third request generated by the interface device from the second request received.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication between a client object and a server object. The method includes the implementation by a proxy of steps of: detecting advertising packets broadcast by the server object; establishing a first connection between the proxy and the server object so as to block the broadcasting by the server object of advertising packets, and retrieving identification information from the server object; and establishing a second connection between the proxy and the client object, by using as proxy identification information the retrieved identification information of the server object, so as to simulate with the client object a connection with the server object.

Abstract: A method for filtering access of a connected object to a local area communication network, implemented by a routing device of the local area network. The method includes: detecting a connected object waiting for pairing within the local network; assigning a confidence score to the connected object, based on information relating to the connected object; notifying a trusted device of the local area network of the request to pair the connected object and of the assigned confidence score; and upon receipt of a pairing refusal from the trusted device, blocking an access of the connected object to the local area network.

Abstract: A method for managing a request to access an internet site originating from a device and transmitted through a telecommunication network. The method includes: receiving a request including a domain name, originating from the device, intended to be transmitted to a domain name resolution server; routing the request to a domain name resolution server; receiving a response including an IP address and information, called first information, linked to the IP address; transmitting or not transmitting the request over the network as a function of the first information.

Abstract: A method for detecting a security flaw allowing a sensitive datum to be recovered. The method is implemented by a device of a network-gateway type holding the sensitive datum. The sensitive datum allows a network terminal to connect to the device. The method includes: analyzing messages sent by at least a first terminal of the network administrated by the device, which terminal is referred to as a terminal known by the device, to another terminal; the device detecting the security flaw if it detects presence of the sensitive datum in the message.

Abstract: A method for managing a phase for requesting pairing of a data processing device. The method includes the following steps in an entity external to the data processing device: detecting a pairing request phase from the data processing device; obtaining an elapsed duration linked to the pairing request phase; and requesting termination of the pairing phase beyond a given duration.

Abstract: A method of managing a local area communication network comprising at least one access equipment for accessing the network is disclosed. At least one communicating object is connected to the network. In one aspect, the method comprises upon detecting connection of a new communicating object to the network and/or upon detecting installation of new firmware on the at least one communicating object connected to the network, a learning phase involving observing interactions of the communicating object with at least one other equipment of the local area network and/or at least one equipment of a wide area communication network accessible via the access equipment. In addition, at least one security rule associated with the communicating object on the basis of the observed interactions is disclosed.

Abstract: A method is provided for reserving a bandwidth in a local network for a service delivered by a services platform. The service is intended to be executed on a user terminal of the network. The method includes the following acts implemented by the services platform: receiving a first request for access to the service, originating from the user terminal via a network gateway, the request selecting a service offered by the services platform, after selection of the service, determining at least one parameter defining a bandwidth required for the execution of the selected service, generating and dispatching to the terminal, via the network gateway of a universal address of the service selected including a domain name, the domain name including in a first label at least the parameter defining the necessary bandwidth, and other labels forming a name of the services platform.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing in a local network the adaptive progressive downloading of digital contents by at least one terminal. The terminal is able to simultaneously receive several digital contents to be played back on a screen. The method includes: obtaining an instantaneous downloading bitrate for the at least one terminal; obtaining a priority for each content to be played back on the terminal as a function of a datum relating to the content on the terminal; and requesting downloading of each content according to its level of quality dependent on the priority obtained for the content.

Abstract: A terminal receives a digital content which is transmitted in the form of a data stream in a network. This digital content is received by the terminal with a reception throughput, a nominal rendering time being associated with the digital content. Activation of a trick mode corresponding to a modification of the nominal rendering time according to a modification factor associated with the trick mode is detected on the terminal. Data to be requested are then determined according to the modification factor and according to a value representative of reception throughput. The data are then requested from the network and the requested data are received.
