Abstract
A method for controlling the authentication of a user by an authentication device, the authentication being implemented by verification, by the authentication device, that a code entered by the user on an interaction interface of the authentication device corresponds to a predetermined code associated with the user is disclosed. A signal representative of a radio signal characteristic of an interaction of the user on the interaction interface of the authentication device is received by the user's terminal. The radio signal is transmitted by an antenna of the authentication device via a channel using electromagnetic wave conduction capacities of the user's body when the user enters the code. It is verified that the radio signal corresponds to a previously stored reference signal, and, in the event of a positive verification, a piece of data representative of the user's identity is transmitted to the authentication device for verification with the user's identity.
