An electronic unit includes a communication interface, a processor, a secure element, and a sub-system. The processor is connected to the communication interface by a first bus, to the secure element by a second bus and to the sub-system. The processor is designed to operate in a first mode, in which, at the second bus, it reproduces the signals received from the communication interface at the first bus. Also disclosed is a method carried out in such an electronic unit.

Electronic unit with a secure element and method carried out in such an electronic unit facilitating communication with the secure element

The present invention relates to the field of the connection to a secure remote service from a terminal and notably of the establishment of a connection between the secure remote service and a security device connected to the terminal. A security device including a security element is connected to the terminal via a physical or virtual local network. When trying to access a secure remote service, a software module is automatically downloaded onto the terminal, without requiring particular rights, from the secure remote service for the discovery and the interaction with the security device. In this way, it is not necessary to install drivers or other specific software in order to enable the use of the secure element when trying to access a secure remote service.

Method and device for the connection to a remote service

An authentication method for accessing a user account of a service () on a data network (), includes the following steps: reception (E) by the service () of a request from a consulting device () for the service (), the request including a first authentication information element, reception (E) by the service () of an information element sent by an authentication security device manager (), the information received by the service () being based on a second authentication information element originating from a security device () associated with the user account, and authentication by the service (), based on the first authentication information element and the information received from the authentication security device manager ().
