Abstract
A security system makes secure exchanges between a services platform and a communicating thing, which includes a control device. The system further includes a server, referred to as a “mediation” server, which receives a message, referred to as a “first” message, from the services platform, encrypts the first message, and sends the encrypted first message to the communicating thing. The communicating thing is also fitted with an IC card that is distinct from the control device and that decrypts the encrypted first message and sends the decrypted first message to the control device. The encryption and decryption operations are performed by at least one secret key shared between the mediation server and the IC card.
