Abstract

Abstract Translated from French L'invention a pour objet un procédé pour diversifier une clé de base et pour authentifier une clé ainsi diversifiée comme ayant été élaborée à partir d'une clé de base prédéterminée. Un système d'initialisation calcule une clé diversifiée (Sd) à partir d'une clé de base (Sb) traitée par une transformation combinatoire biunivoque (T). La clé (Sd) enregistrée dans la mémoire (M3) d'une carte usager (CU3) est authentifiée par un système d'exploitation (4) qui calcule un certificat à partir de la clé de base (Sb), alors que la carte (CU3) calcule un certificat à partir de sa clé (Sd). Ces certificats doivent être identiques compte tenu des propriétés de la transformation (T). L'invention s'applique notamment aux clés secrètes enregistrées dans les cartes à mémoire. The subject of the invention is a method for diversifying a basic key and for authenticating a key thus diversified as having been developed from a predetermined basic key. An initialization system calculates a diversified key (Sd) from a basic key (Sb) processed by a one-to-one combinatorial transformation (T). The key (Sd) stored in the memory (M3) of a user card (CU3) is authenticated by an operating system (4) which calculates a certificate from the basic key (Sb), while the card (CU3) calculates a certificate from its key (Sd). These certificates must be identical taking into account the properties of the transformation (T). The invention applies in particular to secret keys stored in memory cards.
