A method, a device and a system for secure connection. The method is implemented by a first terminal of a network administered by an access point. The terminal has a first address, called own address. The method includes: acquiring a set of data, called status data, including at least one address of at least one second terminal known to the network; and connecting to the network using the address of the second terminal as a replacement for the own address.

Method and device for securely connecting to a local area network

A method for managing first security information to establish a secure connection between a terminal equipment and an access equipment for accessing a communication network. The first security information is associated with a validity period. The method includes: upon expiration of the validity period, obtaining second security information and triggering a deactivation time delay of the first security information; if the terminal equipment is connected to the access equipment, transmitting to the connected terminal equipment a re-authentication command message including at least the second security information and a re-authentication time delay, the time delay expiring at the latest at the end of the deactivation time delay of the first security information; and if a re-authentication request message is received from the terminal equipment before the expiry of the re-authentication time delay, re-authenticating the terminal equipment by using the second security information without the connection being switched off.

A method of managing a local area communication network comprising at least one access equipment for accessing the network is disclosed. At least one communicating object is connected to the network. In one aspect, the method comprises upon detecting connection of a new communicating object to the network and/or upon detecting installation of new firmware on the at least one communicating object connected to the network, a learning phase involving observing interactions of the communicating object with at least one other equipment of the local area network and/or at least one equipment of a wide area communication network accessible via the access equipment. In addition, at least one security rule associated with the communicating object on the basis of the observed interactions is disclosed.

Secure administration of a local communication network comprising at least one communicating object

A method for configuring a firewall equipment in a first communication network managed by an access equipment for accessing a second communication network. Such a method implements: obtaining characteristic information of a user equipment in the first network by analyzing its active interfaces in the network; generating configuration rules for configuring the firewall equipment on the basis of the obtained features and of a predetermined configuration model; and transmitting, to the firewall equipment, an update command message to update a configuration, including the determined configuration rules.

The invention relates to a method of managing access by a transfer device (CL&CL) to a content stored on a content server (SCNT), a transfer device being associated with an identifier, the method being characterized in that it comprises a prior stage including a device (MOB) requesting authorization to access the content, the authorization request being accompanied by at least one identifier of a transfer device (CL&CL) that is authorized to access the content, followed by a step of making available access data (TK/SGN (TK)) for accessing the content, the access data including said at least one identifier (CL&CL), and a step of accessing the content, including:

Method of managing the right of access to a digital content

A method for managing communication of a terminal in a local area network equipped with a plurality of points of access to the network and a device for managing a communication. The terminal is connected to a first access point and able to communicate with at least one second point of access to the network, distinct from the first. The method includes the following acts on the device for managing a communication: receiving a notification of the first access point containing a quality indication; sending a wakeup message to at least one second access point; obtaining at least one quality indication; and, as a function of the quality indication, selecting a second access point to be associated with the terminal.

Optimizing the consumption and coverage of a local area network

A method is provided for emulating a physical interface of a device capable of communicating in a network. The physical interface is capable of receiving at least one piece of peripheral equipment. The method includes: pre-association in order to establish a set of possible associations between the physical interface and at least one software interface of at least one terminal; selecting an association between the physical interface and at least one software interface of at least one terminal, from all the possible associations; routing the messages between the physical interface and the associated software interface.
