Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to create a trusted NDEF record in an NFC device, comprising the steps of: providing an NDEF application in said NFC device, having a first NDEF record contained in an NFC device, wherein said NDEF application is configured to generate a second NDEF record different from a previous first one, based on data collected, as a result of a detection or upon a receipt of a request of an NFC reader or after collection of new data. The invention also relates to the use of above method to make secure mobile application activations or for realizing a strong customer authentication.

Abstract: A first device generates a first signature by using complete transaction data received from a second device, a first algorithm and a first key, modifies at least one character from the complete transaction data and gets partial transaction data, and sends to the second device the partial transaction data. The second device requests a user to modify the partial transaction data by providing at least one character, as complementary data to the partial transaction data, gets, as request response from a user, at least one character to modify the partial transaction data, a corresponding result being proposed modified transaction data, generates a second signature by using the proposed modified transaction data, the first algorithm and the first key, and sends to the first device the second signature. Only if the second signature does match the first signature, then the first device authorizes to carry out a corresponding transaction.

Abstract: A heat exchanger system for a vehicle includes at least one heat exchanger, a centrifugal fan assembly for improving the flow of air through the at least one heat exchanger, the fan assembly including a rotatably mounted impeller with a plurality of impeller blades, and a rotatable inlet shroud for guiding the air flow entering the impeller; and a stationary inlet shroud located between the at least one heat exchanger and the fan assembly and configured for directing air exiting the at least one heat exchanger towards the rotatable inlet shroud of the fan assembly. The fan assembly further includes a stator with a plurality of stationary stator blades located radially or semi-radially outside the impeller for conversion of fluid dynamic pressure to fluid static pressure of the air flow.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the implementation of end-to-end security for the communication between a low cost card reader and the remote server. The purpose of the present invention is the establishment of a secure channel between the card reader and the remote server through an un-trusted communication device (e.g. a smart phone or a tablet) that is intrinsically resistant to some basic differential side-channel analysis in a context where there is no secure random number generator and no source of entropy in the card reader, while providing the following characteristics:—Mutual authentication between the card reader and the server—Secure channel based on session keys such that the keys of the secure channel related to a past transaction cannot be re-played, or the session keys of a future transaction cannot be pre-computed by the card reader and later re-use by the card reader in a legitimate transaction.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for creating a digital signature associated with a user having a code-generating device including a data interface, a display device, a user input device and processing circuitry, the digital signature being indicative of at least one signature object including a signature element having been pre-selected for display to the user.

Abstract: A code-generating device is for enabling interaction with dynamic security between a user and a transaction service provider. The code-generating device includes at least one information acquisition device and processing circuitry. In at least one embodiment, the processing circuitry is configured to receive, via the at least one information acquisition device, a transaction-specific code generated by the transaction service provider, evaluate the transaction-specific code, perform, based on the evaluation of the transaction-specific code, a transaction-specific sequence of functions, each involving prompting the user to indicate a respective function-related value, resulting in a sequence of function-related values indicated by the user, and determine a transaction-specific response code based on the sequence of function-related values, thereby enabling secure authentication of the transaction.
