Title: Innovations by Pascal Cooreman
Introduction
Pascal Cooreman is a notable inventor based in Marseille, France. He has made significant contributions to the field of microprocessor technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work primarily focuses on enhancing the functionality and security of smart cards.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a microprocessor card that includes a hard-wired communication circuit. This invention relates to cards with a microprocessor and contacts. The innovation lies in the integration of an asynchronous communication device between the contacts and the microprocessor. This design alleviates the communication tasks from the microprocessor, allowing for better utilization of the central unit and associated memories. The device features an analysis circuit, a pulse integrity checking circuit, a character determination circuit, and multiple registers connected to the microprocessor.
Another significant patent is an authenticating method between a smart card and a terminal. This method enables mutual authentication between a smart card and its connected terminal. At the end of each transaction, the terminal calculates a secret code, CSC, which is stored in an unprotected memory zone of the card. An authentication certificate, CA, is recorded in a protected memory zone, accessible only by presenting the secret code. During subsequent transactions, the terminal compares the newly calculated secret code and authentication certificate with the previously recorded ones to perform authentication. This invention is particularly applicable to smart cards.
