Provided is a method for securely diversifying a generic application stored in a secure processor of a terminal, said method comprising: Generating at the request of a manager application hosted in an application processor of said terminal, at the level of a distant server, a server challenge; Sending said server challenge to said application; Generating a first message at said application, said first message being function of said server challenge, an application challenge and an unique identifier of said application; Sending said first message to a Root-Of-Trust service hosted in a secure processor of said terminal, said Root-of-Trust service generating an attestation of said first message, said attestation guaranteeing that said first message has not been modified and originates from said secure processor; and Transmitting said attestation of said first message to said distant server in an enablement request message.

A process is designed to configure a smart card (CP) comprising a microchip (PE) capable of participating in at least two applications, a magnetic stripe (PM) capable of storing information, action means (MA) capable of acting on the magnetic stripe (PM) to modify certain stored information, a control circuit (MC) capable of controlling the microchip (PE) and the action means (MA), and selection means (MS) capable of allowing the selection of an application. This process comprises a step wherein, if one of the applications is selected, a dedicated piece of information that is representative of that selected application is stored in a location accessible to the control circuit (MC), so that if the microchip (PE) is woken up, the microchip (PE) automatically retrieves the dedicated information in order to activate the selected application represented by it.

Process for the configuration of a smart card for a single selected application

A pairing device for establishing a secure wireless communication path between a first device having a first body-coupling communication interface and a second device having a screen. The pairing device includes a screen communication interface having a light sensor, which, in conjunction with the screen of the second device, allows definition of a light-based communication path for the transmission of a first pairing information from the second device to the pairing device, a calculator for generating a second pairing information once the first pairing information has been received by the pairing device, a second body-coupling communication interface, which in conjunction with the first body-coupling communication interface allows the definition of a body-coupling communication path for the transmission of the second pairing information from the pairing device to the first device, the second pairing information allowing the establishment of a secure wireless communication path between the first device and the second device.
