  • Publication number: 20240121078
    Abstract: A device comprises a hash tree including a root node and a leaf node. An issuing authority having agreed to generate a signature of the root node after having successfully checked validity of an attribute stored in the leaf node. The device identifies a subset of nodes by using a template specifying the structure of the hash tree, said subset comprising, for all paths of the hash tree that do not comprise said leaf node, the node which is the closest to the reference root node and which does not belong to the path comprising said leaf node. A verifier computes a test hash and then computes a test root node by applying a preset rule. The verifier checks that the signature is valid using a data whose authenticity is certified by the issuing authority.

  • Publication number: 20230171113
    Abstract: Provided is a method for facilitating the renewing of a digital identity document. It includes receiving a request for renewing a digital identity document; checking whether said digital identity document can be renewed, if the check result is positive, creating an up-to-date validity-related data item to be associated with said digital identity document and to be inspected by a verifier when the validity of said digital identity document must be assessed; and sending said up-to-date validity-related data item to a device of a user of said digital identity document so that a validity-related data item previously associated with said digital identity document can be replaced by said up-to-date validity-related data item at the user's side.

  • Patent number: 11337071
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing the reputation level of a first communication device (100), said reputation level (103) being stored into a first secure enclave (102) embedded in said first communication device (100). The method comprises the steps of: receiving from the first communication device (100) by a second communication device (110) an information message; verifying that the information message is consistent with data obtained from a sensor embedded in the second communication device (110); generating a feedback message by the second communication device (110) to be transmitted to the first communication device (100) indicating if the information message is consistent for the secure enclave (102) of the first communication device (100) to update its reputation level.

  • Publication number: 20200045518
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for anticipating the setup of a relation of trust between a first vehicle called central vehicle and at least a second vehicle, wherein two interaction areas are defined relatively to the position of the central vehicle, the first interaction area called exchange area comprising the central vehicle and the second interaction area called pre-authentication area being defined in a way that it has to be crossed by said second vehicle for it to enter into the exchange area, the method comprising the steps of: detecting if the second vehicle is localized in the pre-authentication area associated with the central vehicle; authenticating the central vehicle and the second vehicle if not already authenticated; upon successful authentication, providing the central vehicle and the second vehicle with at least one credential to set up the relation of trust for it to be already established when the second vehicle is present in the exchange area associated with the central vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20130227679
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for accessing an application. A token includes at least one application that is executable by a device. The token is coupled to the device. The method comprises the following steps. The token sends to the device data for identifying the token and data for authenticating the token. The device analyses whether the token identification data is included within a list of at least one authorized token. Only if the token identification data is included within a list of at least one authorized token, then the device analyses whether the token is authenticated. And only if the device authenticates the token, then the device authorizes to execute the application. The invention also relates to a corresponding device.
