Method of securing exchanges between two electronic devices, by using an imprint of at least one of the two devices. This imprint is obtained on the basis of all or part of the electronic components of which this device is composed. This imprint will serve, either to protect the confidentiality of the data exchanged, or to attest to the identity of the device issuing the data.

Securisation of a remote executable code using a footprint of the computer recipient

The invention relates to a security token comprising a communication interface adapted to communicate with a host computer; a security module, comprising encryption based security features; and a non volatile memory storing at least an application to be uploaded and executed in a host computer. The application makes use of the security features when executed in a host computer in communication with the communication interface. The security token is adapted to modify the content of the application as uploaded or its execution parameters at successive connections of the security token to a host computer.

Security token for securely executing an application on a host computer

The invention relates to a method for secure data transmission in connections between two functional modules of an electronic unit. A first module of a message of k bits in a word code of n bits is injection coded with a constant Hamming weight of w. The word of code is transmitted to a second module. An error signal is generated when the Hamming weight of the word of code of n bits, received by the second module, is different from w. In the absence of error, the code word is decoded, where k, w and n are whole numbers. The invention further relates to a corresponding electronic circuit.
