Abstract

A method and system for controlling the execution of a function protected by authentication of a user and which is provided for example for the access to a resource. The method includes inputting, by the user, of personal data using an input device, authenticating the user with the input personal data for authorizing or not authorizing the execution of the function; in a secure card connected to the input device, storing limited validity authentication data dependant on the input data; when the card is connected to a processing device by which the user generates a message whose processing implements the function, using the stored data, taking into account the limited validity, to authorize or not authorize the execution of that function.
