Abstract

A method includes transmitting a first digital channel (X0) from a reader to a marker, receiving a second digital channel (Y0) corresponding to the first digital channel and to errors introduced by a noisy channel, introducing artificial errors into at least one of the first or second digital channels, carrying out an advantage distillation phase in such a way that a new first digital channel (X1) is determined for the reader. A new second digital channel (Y1) is determined for the marker such that the advantage is taken with respect to a possible passive attacker. In an information reconciliation phase, an error-correcting protocol is applied to the new first (X2) and new second (Y2) digital channel, and in carrying out a secrecy amplification phase, a hash function (G) is applied to the new first (X2*) and the new second (Y2*) digital channel.
