Abstract

Methods and devices for enabling authentication may include a first stage in which a first electronic device of the first entity communicates with a second electronic device of the second entity via a telecommunications network. During the first stage, the first electronic device generates a first token and transmits it from the first electronic device to the second electronic device via the network; and the second electronic device generates a third token and transmits the third token to the first electronic device via the network. During a second stage, authenticating a first non-authenticated entity as being the second entity as a function of a second token contained in a first portable electronic device of the first non-authenticated entity occurs; and authenticating a non-authenticated entity as being the first entity as a function of a fourth token contained in a second portable electronic device of the second non-authenticated entity also occurs.
