Abstract
A method for recovering a network key of an access point to a network, implemented by a terminal. The network key allows the terminal to be associated with the access point upon a first connection of the terminal to the access point. The network key recovery method includes: receiving, by the terminal, a network key provided by the access point on a server following a request, by the terminal to the server, for the network key of the access point, the request including an identifier of the access point and having been relayed by the server to the access point associated with the identifier of the access point in the request. Thus, as the access point does not transmit the network key directly to the terminal, but to a server on which the terminal will recover it, this limits intrusions into the network linked to the vulnerability of the Wi-Fi network.
