  • 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: 10404719
    Abstract: Method for verifying data generated by an electronic device included in equipment, the electronic device including a computing unit, a one-time programmable memory and a volatile memory, the equipment including a rewritable non-volatile memory and a communication bus enabling the electronic device to store data in the rewritable non-volatile memory. The method includes: creating a secured channel by encryption between the equipment and a server; obtaining an authentication key from the server; loading data and a message authentication code from the rewritable non-volatile memory to the volatile memory, the message authentication code obtained by the electronic device from the authentication key and said data prior to the storage of said data and message authentication code in the rewritable non-volatile memory, the electronic device not having kept the authentication key following the obtaining of the message authentication code; verifying said data using the secret key and the message authentication code.

  • Patent number: 9167460
    Abstract: Described are methods and devices for detecting cable network interference on a wireless network. In one aspect, disclosed is a method, performed by a processor of a cable interference detection device, of detecting interference in a wireless network caused by a cable network. The method includes: obtaining a signal signature of a wireless signal received at a receiver of a mobile communication device, the signal signature being a fast fourier transform representation of the wireless signal; and determining that the wireless signal represents interference caused by the cable network by comparing the signal signature to a cable network signal signature.
