Disclosed is a method of verifying integrity of a pair of public and private cryptographic keys within the additive group of the integers modulo N, with N being the product of two primary numbers p and q, the method including: calculating a candidate private exponent d' corresponding to a private exponent d of the private key; and executing a test of integrity. The test of integrity includes a step for verifying the coherence of the candidate private exponent d&#x2032; with respect to a public exponent e of the public key and to the numbers p and q, the verification step involving a first multiple modulo of the public exponent e of the public key and a second multiple modulo of the public exponent e of the public key.
