Abstract: The present disclosure includes an electronic device for selecting a credential based at least in part on location information. The electronic device can include a secure transaction subsystem and a processor. The secure transaction subsystem can be configured to store a plurality of credentials. The processor can be communicatively coupled to the secure transaction subsystem and configured to receive the location information from one or more radios. Further, the processor can be configured to determine that a distance between the electronic device and a terminal is less than a predetermined distance based on the location information. In response to determining the distance between the electronic device and the terminal is less than the predetermined distance, the processor can be configured to select the credential from the plurality of credentials based at least in part on the type of terminal.

Abstract: A method for the authentication of a first electronic entity (C) by a second electronic entity (H), wherein the first electronic entity (C) implements the following steps: reception of a challenge (HCH) from the second electronic entity (H); generation of a number (CCH) according to a current value of a counter (SQC) and a first secret key (K-ENC); generation of a cryptogram (CAC) according to the challenge (HCH) and a second secret key (S-MAC); and transmission of a response including the cryptogram (CAC) to the second electronic entity (H), without transmission of the number (CCH).

Abstract: A method for receiving data (DATASEND) within an electronic entity (2) includes the following steps: establishment, between the electronic entity (2) and an external electronic apparatus, of a first secure channel by encipherment by element of a first cryptographic key (SK-ENC); reception, via the first secure channel, of a first command; reception of at least one second cryptographic key (BK-ENC) via the first secure channel; setting up, owing to the execution of the command, of a second secure channel by encipherment by element of the second cryptographic key (BK-ENC); and reception of the data (DATASEND) in the second secure channel. A corresponding electronic entity is also described.

Abstract: Disclosed is a secure electronic entity including a memory unit storing data in the form of multiplets and a processing module designed to receive data from an electronic device. The processing module is designed to determine a proof-of-integrity element in accordance with the data received and at least one portion of the stored multiplets, and to transmit the proof-of-integrity element to the electronic device. Also disclosed is a method for verifying the integrity of data stored in such a secure electronic entity.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods performed by, and devices including, a microcircuit card that makes it possible to set up a communication session between the microcircuit card and a contactless communication module via an SWP interface. An implementation of the method comprises: an initialization phase for the SWP interface; and a negotiation phase between the microcircuit card and the contactless communication module, the contactless communication module being suitable for maintaining the power supply of said microcircuit card during these phases. Among other reasons, the method is remarkable in that the microcircuit card prolongs said negotiation phase until the end of a procedure internal to the microcircuit card.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a subroutine call stack modification, including the steps of, when calling a subroutine, placing a return address at the top of the stack; at the end of the subroutine, using the address at the top of the stack as the return address, and removing the address from the stack; when calling the subroutine, accumulating the return address in a memory location with a first operation; at the end of the subroutine, accumulating the address from the top of the stack in the memory location with a second operation, reciprocal of the first operation; and detecting a change when the content of the memory location is different from its initial value.
