Abstract
The invention proposes a method for an object (1) to communicate with a server (2) of a connected objects network to report that a clone may be impersonating the object in the network, which method comprises the following steps implemented by the object (1): transmitting (106) to the server (2) a request from the object (1) to join the connected objects network; after transmitting the join-request, detecting (110) whether a reference message (uplink) transmitted by the object (1) to the server (2) was rejected or ignored; in response to the detection, transmitting (114) to the server (2) an alert message indicating the rejection or ignoring.
