Abstract
A method for verifying the security of a device for generating private and public cryptographic keys. Such a method includes generating at least one pair of private and public cryptographic keys by the device from at least one random variable coming from a random-variable generator; transmitting at least one constituent element of a generated private or public key to at least one device for verifying; and determining a level of security of the device from the at least one transmitted element, as a function of pieces of information stored by the device for verifying.
