  • Patent number: 11696346
    Abstract: A method of radio communication of a slave device with a master device, the method comprising steps of: receiving (202) by the slave device of a connection request sent by the master device comprising first communication parameters for communicating with the master device, the communication parameters being indicative of a sequence of frequency channels to be used during successive periods to communicate with the master device, during one of the periods, implementing by the slave device of a processing capable of causing the master device to send a connection update comprising second parameters for communicating with the master device to be used in place of the first communication parameters, the processing comprising an action (210) on one of the frequency channels capable of causing the master device to detect a degradation in communication quality on the frequency channel.

  • Patent number: 11537709
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (1) such as a connected object comprising a first electronic circuit (2) comprising: a first processing unit (6) for executing a program, a first memory (8) for memorizing data during the execution of the program, a debug port (10) dedicated to checking the execution of the program from outside the first circuit, a second electronic circuit (4) connected to the debug port (10), comprising: a second memory (14) memorizing reference data related to the program, a second processing unit (12) for implementing the following steps automatically and autonomously via the debug port (10): checking the integrity of the data memorized by the first memory (8) and/or the compliance of the program's execution by the first processing unit (6) with a reference execution, assisted by the reference data.

  • Patent number: 11341072
    Abstract: Method for controlling commands suitable to be processed by a peripheral (2) comprising the following steps implemented by a control circuit (6) connected to a communication bus (8), a command circuit (4) and the peripheral (3) also being connected to the communication bus (8): granting or refusing authorization to the command circuit (4) to transmit a command signal of the peripheral via the bus (8), detecting the possible transmission of the command signal for the peripheral by the command circuit via the bus (8), implementing protection measures (614) when the control circuit detects that the command signal has been transmitted as the control circuit has not granted authorization, or that the command signal has not been transmitted as the control circuit has granted authorization.

  • Patent number: 11212314
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method for an object (1) to communicate with a server (2) of a connected objects network to report that a clone may be impersonating the object in the network, which method comprises the following steps implemented by the object (1): transmitting (106) to the server (2) a request from the object (1) to join the connected objects network; after transmitting the join-request, detecting (110) whether a reference message (uplink) transmitted by the object (1) to the server (2) was rejected or ignored; in response to the detection, transmitting (114) to the server (2) an alert message indicating the rejection or ignoring.

  • Patent number: 11165633
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for securing data transmitted by a data source (2) of a connected object (1) against attacks affecting a control circuit (4) of the connected object (1), the connected object (1) also comprising an electronic signature circuit (6) and a communication bus (8) connected to the control circuit (4), connected to the electronic signature circuit (6) and connected to the source (2), wherein the method comprises the following steps implemented by the electronic signature circuit (6): detecting (602) a first datum (M) transmitted by the source (2) on the communication bus (8); detecting (606) a second datum (M?) to be signed, on the communication bus, the second datum having been transmitted (404) by the control circuit (4) on the communication bus (8) after detection of the first datum (M) by the control device (4); verifying (608) coherence between the detected data (M, M?), signalling (610) an error (E), if any, as a function of a result of the verification.
