Abstract

Method of mutual authentication of a controllable electronic device (DE) and of its user (USER) able to control it so that it procures him a service (DS), the device (DE) containing sensitive or confidential data (DA) and being arranged so as to—in an operational phase (OP) including a preliminary step of authentication of the user (UAP)—, execute an operation (SO) so as to procure the service (DS), including, furthermore, a prior phase of authentication of the device (SDAP), in which the authenticity of the device (DE) is verified, so that if on completion of the prior phase of authentication of the device (SDAP), the device (DE) is confirmed to be authentic, the user (USER) can execute the operational phase (OP), whilst if the device (DE) is not confirmed to be authentic, the user (USER) can prevent the execution of the operational phase (OP).
