  • Patent number: 10979420
    Abstract: A method for authenticating a user by a verifier device. The method includes: receiving a password entered by a user and a first piece of context information entered by the user; calculating a current fingerprint, by applying a one-way function to the password and to the first piece of context information; and verifying that the current calculated fingerprint is equal to a reference fingerprint of a secret, calculated during a preceding authentication of the user, the authentication being successful when the current fingerprint is equal to the reference fingerprint.

  • Patent number: 9542550
    Abstract: A method of mutual authentication between a radio tag and a radio reader. The method includes: authentication of the tag by the reader, implemented on a first communication channel, during which a first authentication coupon and a first authentication response are transmitted from the tag to the reader; toggling from the first communication channel to a second communication channel, different from the first channel, on which there is implemented a phase of authentication of the reader by the tag; and dispatching from the reader to the tag of a second authentication coupon and of a second authentication response which are intended to authenticate the reader. The second authentication coupon is transmitted on the first communication channel.
