The invention concerns a method and an architecture using a smart card () for remote control, via an internet-type network (RI), of a user station () comprising a smart card reader (). The data required to control the station () are stored () in a remote server (). The station () comprises a web-type browser () that transmits requests to the server (). In response, the latter generates specific commands designed for the smart card (). The station () comprises a specialized software module () forming an interface between the smart card reader () and the internet network (RI). This module () translates the specific commands into commands in conformity with the ISO 7816-4 standard, and transmits them to the smart card () in order to activate an application of the latter. The server () can also store () HTML pages. The smart card () transmits, via the specialized software module (), a response to the remote server (), which processes it and retransmits the data to the browser () for display on a screen (). The invention is particularly applicable to a smart card () demonstrator.

Method and architecture for remote control of a user station via an internet-type network and application thereof to a smart card demonstrator

The invention concerns an architecture of a terminal () allowing communications between a smart card () and a web server (), via an internet network (RI). The terminal () is equipped with a secure enclosure () comprising a smart card reader (), a keyboard (), and optionally, other computing resources (). The non-secure part of the terminal () comprises a web browser () and a first communication node () that routes the requests received to the browser () or to the secure enclosure (). The secure enclosure () comprises a second communication node () and an HTTP server (). The smart card () comprises a third communication node () and an HTTP server (). The web server () comprises a merchant application () that can be placed in communication with the smart card () and activate software applications (A&#x2013;A) of the latter.
