Abstract:
The system comprises a terminal (10, 12), an independent portable device (20) including a data processing means, and a wireless coupling means (RF COMMUNICATION) for exchanging individual-identification data between said terminal and said portable device. A body-medium communication means (OSC COMMUNICATION) including a transmitter in the terminal and a receiver in the portable device is provided to transmit from the terminal to the portable device a connection code (CONNECTION CODE) at the onset of a transaction upon physical contact established by the individual between the terminal and the portable device. A control means in the portable device checks said connection code received and conditionally issues to the terminal through said wireless coupling means (RF COMMUNICATION) a signal for enabling further execution of said transaction in response to said connection code complying with predetermined criteria.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an authentication and/or rights containing retrievable token such as an IC card comprising at least one physical channel of communication to at least one apparatus and at least two logical channels of communication with said at least one apparatus wherein each logical channel of communication is associated with a different execution environment.

Date Feb. 22, 1996The invention relates to protected keypad apparatus, in particular for machines actuated by insertion of an electronic smart card. The keypad proper (10) comprises n sensitive zones (Zi), each sensitive zone being associated with a respective sensor and with an individual processing circuit (14i) that includes in particular an encryption function. The sensor and the circuit form a monolithic unit. The apparatus further includes a driver unit (18) connected to each circuit (14i) via a bus (16). The circuits periodically and cyclically transmit encrypted signals indicating activation or non-activation of the sensitive zones.
