Abstract: In a method for authenticating a user, a device accesses a key and an initial vector. The vector is generated by using a first algorithm, a reference vector and reference user authentication data. The device accesses data and provided user authentication data. The device generates an intermediary vector by using a second algorithm, the initial vector and the user authentication data. The device generates a cryptogram by using a third algorithm, the key, the intermediary vector and the data. A server receives a request for authenticating a user accompanied with the cryptogram and the data. The server accesses the key and the reference vector. The server generates a reference cryptogram by using the third algorithm, the key, the reference vector and the data. The server verifies whether the reference cryptogram matches the cryptogram. If the reference cryptogram matches the cryptogram, the server authenticates the user.

Abstract: The invention relates to any electronic device such as a chip card, a passport, a dongle or any other object requiring personalization of the content of a memory. More precisely, the invention provides for a method for processing a data item of a container stored in a memory, said method being implemented by the electronic device by utilizing in particular a table of identifiers. The invention furthermore provides for a prior step for associating a data identifier with a data item of a container and creating said table of identifiers.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for performing issuer updates of data stored in a mobile device, a remote authentication, a remote payment transaction or enable the configuration of mobile application functions or operations. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for securing an issuer updates processing for mobile payment application. When an update transaction is initiated, the payment application increments an Application Transaction Counter ATC and derives from this ATC a session keys. Sensitive user credential data are encrypted with the computed session keys before transmission to a gateway which is configured to compute the session keys for decryption. The decrypted user credential data are forwarded to a payment application issuer for updates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for dispatching at least one predetermined secret key, in order to make the implementation of a provision of service secure, characterized in that it comprises transmitting a predetermined implementation key in encoded form from a security module (MSCl) having a predetermined rank to a security module (MSTl) or card (U) of a rank lower than the predetermined rank, this encoding comprises using an encoding algorithm and introducing the predetermined implementation key, as well as least one diversified key, this diversified key, necessary for the encoding, being obtained by a diversification algorithm by introducing both a basic key of this diversified key and diversification data originating from the module of lower rank, the predetermined encoded implementation key being decoded by the use, in a module of lower rank than the predetermined rank, of a decoding algorithm which is the inverse of the encoding algorithm.
