Disclosed is a method for authenticating a user by using an electronic apparatus including an authentication module and a secure module, which includes the following steps: the authentication module transmits a recognition result to the secure module according to a process that allows the authentication module to be authenticated by the secure module; the secure module generates an authentication token by signing, with a private key stored in the secure module, data including data representing at least one feature of the authentication module; and transmitting the generated authentication token. Also disclosed is an associated secure module, electronic apparatus and system.

Method for authenticating a user and a secure module, associated electronic apparatus and system

The disclosure relates to the field of wireless communications, and more particularly a method of establishing an IP connection through a 3GPP mobile network, at least partially of IP type, a network equipment item, MME or PDN-GW, of that mobile network, a mobile network infrastructure, a mobile terminal and a corresponding system. The method includes the following steps, on a first equipment item, MME or PDN-GW, of the mobile network other than a mobile equipment item UE of the mobile network: receiving a fully qualified domain name, FQDN, sent by a mobile equipment item, UE, of the mobile network, the FQDN identifying a target data server; and on reception of the FQDN, triggering the resolution of the FQDN into an IP address of the target data server. Thus, a mobile user equipment item provided with a UICC card may be produced at low cost without incorporating DNS resolution mechanisms.
