The invention relates to a secured comparative processing method of the type in which a processor of an electronic component compares a set of proof data received by the processor as an input with main secret data stored in said electronic component, characterised in that the processor executes, in parallel with the comparison with the secret data, a series of complementary operations on the set of proof data which generate on the electronic component a variation in behaviour which is a function of the proof data which the component receives as an input and which is added to the variation in behaviour linked to the comparison with the main secret data, the series of complementary operations including a series of base operations repeated K times, and the execution of said series being preceded by an adjustment of execution parameters of said series, the parameters including: the identifier of the series of base operations to be executed, the series of base operations being comprised within a set of predefined base operations, and the number K of executions of the set of base operations, the set of adjusted execution parameters being specific to the set of proof data received by the electronic component.

Secured comparative processing method

A biometric identification method includes the steps of comparing a candidate print with a reference print and of validating the identification according to a certain number of characteristics common to both prints and a predetermined validation threshold. The method includes the steps of creating at least one deceiving print and comparing same with a candidate print. An identification device designed for implementing this method is also provided.

Biometric identification method and device using one

Method of secure comparative processing of the type in which a processor of an electronic component compares proof data (EPR, AUTH) that it receives as input with main secret data (CTRL, PIN) stored in said electronic component, characterized in that the processor implements, in addition to the comparison with the secret data (CTRL, PIN), complementary operations on the proof data (EPR, AUTH) which generate on the electronic component a variation of behavior which is dependent on the proof data (EPR, AUTH) which it receives as input and which is compounded with the behavioral variation related to the comparison with the main secret data (CTRL, PIN).

Method of secure comparative processing

An embedded system and, in particular, a communication protocol suitable for a data transmission using auxiliary physical channels of such an embedded system. A transmission method suitable for such a channel includes the transmission of a data signal based on the encoding of three symbols. The message consists of a preamble allowing recognition of the symbols used, followed by the significant part of the message. The decoding of the message comprises a first step of learning the symbols used, prior to the decoding of the significant part of the message.

Method and device for transmitting a message

A biometric identification method comprising the steps of comparing a candidate print with a reference print and validating identification as a function of a number of characteristics that are common in the two prints and of a predetermined validation threshold, the method being characterized in that it comprises the steps of altering the biometric characteristics of one of the two prints prior to comparison and of taking the alteration into account during validation.

Biometric identification method

A card including a data transmission mechanism using annex transmission channels. A method is described for the transmission of data by a chip card at an end of its life using hidden communication channels different from standard communication channels of the card. The data are transmitted by modulating a binary signal that results from a modification of a hardware parameter of the card.

Method and chip card for transmitting information

The invention relates to a method for masking the end-of-life transition of an electronic microprocessor device comprising a reprogrammable non-volatile memory containing an end-of-life state variable (FdVE). The value of the variable (FdVE) is loaded (A) into random access memory. Prior to the execution of any current command (COM), the value of the variable (FdVR) in random access memory is checked (B). The end-of-life transition is executed (C) in the event of an empty value. Otherwise, the initialization or the execution of the command (COM) is continued (D). Upon detection (E) of an intrusive attack, the end-of-life state variable (FdVR) is written (F) in the single random-access memory, and the end-of-life state variable (FdVE) is deleted (G) from the non-volatile memory in a delayed manner. The invention is suitable for all electronic devices, microprocessor cards or the like.
