Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of storing and transporting an X.509 type certificate.
- the electronic certificate such as for example of type X.509, is a collection of information for all that relates to the authentication of a holder by electronic means.
- This certificate is issued by a recognized authority which commits to the identity of the holder having such a certificate. This is why, depending on the level of commitment of the authority issuing the certificate, it may require that the holder presents guarantees of his identity, for example that a notary confirms his identity.
- This certificate is schematically composed of a part specific to the issuing authority and a part specific to the holder of the certificate which is called "explicit”.
- the part specific to the authority can be identical for all the certificates issued by this authority. This part is called "implicit”.
- a certificate includes a signature made on these two parts and using the authority's private key.
- the signature is verified using the public key of the issuing authority. This key can be found in the root certificate of the issuing authority. As indicated above, the signature verifies the authenticity of the content of the certificate.
- the aim of the present invention is to ensure the transportability of an electronic certificate and the security of the private key.
- this certificate is not used for purposes not controlled by the holder, such as identity theft, authorization of unwanted transactions or the reproduction of transactions (replay).
- This goal is achieved by a method of storing and transporting an electronic certificate, said certificate comprising an authority section specific to the issuing authority, a holder section specific to the certificate holder and a signature section determined by the issuing authority, characterized in that all or part of the holder section is contained in a removable security module and that at least the authority section is contained in a host computer.
- This method also has the advantage of reducing the amount of information stored in the security module.
- This module can be in the form of a smart card, a module with PCMCIA or USB interface, or even a contactless transmission module.
- Internet transaction programs require authentication using an X.509 type certificate. It has been noted that part of this certificate can be common to a large number of users and represents the section specific to the (implicit) authority issuing such certificates. It is thus advantageous, thanks to the present invention, to store only the part specific to each user (explicit) in the removable medium, in our example this security unit is a smart card. This avoids redundancy of information and therefore better use of memory.
- signature we mean the process which consists in determining a unique image of the data considered for this signature (by a hash function for example) and in encrypting this unique image by the private key of the entity which signs.
- the algorithm used for the establishment of this signature is an encryption is of asymmetric type.
- the public key of this entity is used to decrypt the received signature and this value is compared with the result of the single image carried out on the data to be authenticated. If the decrypted value and the unique image are equal, the data is intact and authentic.
- FIG. 1 shows the verification of the certificate of the issuing authority
- FIG. 2 represents the configuration showing the two supports of the certificate
- FIG. 3 represents the authentication of the reconstituted certificate
- FIG. 4 illustrates the method of processing a transaction
- FIG. 5 represents the time authentication method
- FIG. 6 illustrates the final signature on all of the data
- FIG. 1 represents the extraction of the public key from the root certificate by the security unit SM.
- the RCA root certificate is the certificate of the issuing authority. This unit requests the STB host unit to send the RCA root certificate associated with the holder's certificate TCI1. This root certificate contains the public key CAPU of the issuing authority. This key is used to authenticate the certificate of the holder reconstituted with the implicit part and the explicit part of the holder's certificate.
- the STB host unit sends this root certificate to the security module SM in order to extract the public key CAPU therefrom.
- the latter retains the H5 image which is the result of the hash function on the RCA root certificate.
- the STB host unit can request it on the Internet for example from a site with a directory (CDir) allowing access to the desired certificates (CA1, CA2, CAn).
- CDir a site with a directory
- FIG. 2 shows a first smart card SM1 in which the explicit part TCE1 of the holder as well as his secret key TS1 are stored.
- this program uses security software SA which interfaces with the smart card. It is also in charge of transmitting the certificate as a whole and for this, contains the data of the TCI1 authority section.
- the host unit STB is connected to the rest of the world by the Internet for example to access the service providers PS1, PS2, the sites to obtain the information from the issuing authority CauD, the time information TSAu and the information on the CDir root certificate.
- the data concerning the holder section TCE1 are sent to the host unit according to a procedure implementing the security unit predominantly. This operation will be described in more detail later.
- Verification of the integrity of this certificate is done by the process illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the multimedia unit or host unit represented here by the block STB, transmits the data of the certificate contained in the host unit to the destination security unit SM.
- the "authority" part (implicit) is contained as a whole in the host unit STB, it is possible to store part of the "user” information (explicit) in the host unit also, the rest being placed in the security unit SM.
- module A supplied on the one hand by the host unit STB, and on the other hand by the data TCE1 from the memory of the security unit.
- the data TCE1 of the security unit is not simply sent to the host unit STB for processing but that it is the security unit SM which controls the operation.
- Module A functions as a synchronizer and recomposes the certificate according to the predefined format and illustrated by the block composed of the elements TCE, TCI, SCAT.
- the SCAT signature of the holder's certificate from the STB host unit is extracted (see module X).
- the combined data, excluding the SCAT signature, are sent to module B, which is responsible for determining a single image of all of these data.
- This image is produced by a unidirectional and collisionless hash-like function.
- the algorithm used can be of SHA-1 or MD5 type and this image expresses all of the data in a unique way.
- the type of algorithm to be used is specified in the certificate. This image is saved in module B1 for future use.
- the security unit SM extracts the signature SCAT from the certificate and decrypts it in module C using the public key of the CAPU authority.
- the reference value B1 ' is calculated and compared with the single image B1. If the two values correspond, the certificate is authentic and can be used for future operations illustrated by the module E. If not, the smart card SM will refuse any transaction operation and will inform the host unit STB.
- Figure 4 shows the next step, which is to authorize a transaction. If the previous test on the authentication of the certificate is positive (see modules D and E in FIG. 3), the host module STB will be able to send the signed transaction to a service provider PS1, PS2.
- a transaction Q can be filtered by the module F of the security unit SM, a module which contains the acceptance rules. Indeed, it is possible to determine a maximum amount or to list a list of institutes which are accepted by the holder of the security unit SM. These conditions may include a expiry date of the holder's certificate.
- module B calculates a Hash H2 function over the entire transaction Q.
- the result B2 is stored for subsequent use.
- This value H2 is then signed by the holder's private key TS1 to form the transaction signature SQTM.
- the module A2 assembles the data of the transaction Q and the signature of the transaction SQTM to send them to the host unit STB.
- it is possible to add to the transaction Q a limit of validity of the transaction which is shown diagrammatically by the time TM.
- One way of determining this time is to use the current time T and to add the period of validity ⁇ T.
- This TM validity limit is added to transaction Q when determining the hash function in module B and when assembling data in module A2. When the transaction is received by the service provider, it will check that this limit is not exceeded.
- the use of a TM validity limit can be made compulsory if a certain transaction amount is reached.
- time data comprise the time T proper, a random part R and a signature on the two previous data.
- the time data T as well as the random part R and the signature STA are transmitted to the security unit SM.
- the validity limit TM is determined by adding the duration of validity ⁇ T. This limit is used to define a maximum duration during which a transaction can be marked by this time.
- Authentication is done in a manner analogous to the operations described above, namely the calculation of a hash function on the time data T and the hazard R in module B after their assembly in module A.
- the intermediate result H3 is stored in module B3 for subsequent use.
- the key TSPU is used which is the public key of the authority issuing the time.
- a request is transmitted via the host unit STB to find the certificate corresponding to the issuing authority of time T which contains this key.
- This calculated value B3 ' is then compared (module D) with the single image B3 of the data T and R, to determine whether the time is authentic.
- FIG. 6 is indicated the operation for linking the certificate and the transaction, and optionally the time and other information relating to the transaction.
- the previous values B1 of the certificate, B2 of the transaction and B3 of the time are organized in module A and sent to module B to determine the hash function.
- This value is then signed by the secret key of the holder TS1.
- the result is the SETM signature of the envelope comprising the certificate, transaction and time set.
- the signature of the SETM envelope is determined on the basis of the values resulting from the hash functions of each step. This procedure makes it possible to link all the data and guarantee that all each part of the message has not been altered.

Description
MÉTHODE DE STOCKAGE ET DE TRANSPORT D'UN CERTIFICAT METHOD OF STORAGE AND TRANSPORT OF A CERTIFICATE
ÉLECTRONIQUEELECTRONIC
La présente invention concerne une méthode de stockage et de transport d'un certificat de type X.509.The present invention relates to a method of storing and transporting an X.509 type certificate.
Le certificat électronique, tel que par exemple de type X.509, est une collection d'information pour tout ce qui concerne l'authentification d'un titulaire par voie électronique. Ce certificat est délivré par une autorité reconnue qui s'engage sur l'identité du titulaire possédant un tel certificat. C'est pourquoi, selon le niveau d'engagement de l'autorité délivrant le certificat, celle-ci peut exiger que le titulaire présente des garanties de son identité, par exemple qu'un notaire confirme son identité.The electronic certificate, such as for example of type X.509, is a collection of information for all that relates to the authentication of a holder by electronic means. This certificate is issued by a recognized authority which commits to the identity of the holder having such a certificate. This is why, depending on the level of commitment of the authority issuing the certificate, it may require that the holder presents guarantees of his identity, for example that a notary confirms his identity.
Ce certificat est schématiquement composé d'une partie propre à l'autorité émettrice et une partie propre au titulaire du certificat qui est dénommée "explicite".This certificate is schematically composed of a part specific to the issuing authority and a part specific to the holder of the certificate which is called "explicit".
La partie propre à l'autorité peut être identique pour tous les certificats délivrés par cette autorité. Cette partie est dénommée "implicite".The part specific to the authority can be identical for all the certificates issued by this authority. This part is called "implicit".
Pour rendre indissociable ces deux parties, un certificat comprend une signature effectuée sur ces deux parties et par l'intermédiaire de la clé privée de l'autorité.To make these two parts inseparable, a certificate includes a signature made on these two parts and using the authority's private key.
Lorsqu'un tel certificat est reçu d'un serveur de stockage, la signature est vérifiée grâce à la clé publique de l'autorité émettrice. Cette clé peut se trouver dans le certificat racine de l'autorité émettrice. Comme indiqué plus haut, la signature permet de vérifier l'authenticité du contenu du certificat.When such a certificate is received from a storage server, the signature is verified using the public key of the issuing authority. This key can be found in the root certificate of the issuing authority. As indicated above, the signature verifies the authenticity of the content of the certificate.
Ces certificats sont généralement stockés sur une unité de stockage d'un ordinateur, ainsi que le certificat racine qui est le certificat de l'autorité émettrice.
Il existe donc un intérêt à disposer d'un certificat stocké sur un support amovible et permettant de jouer de ce fait le rôle de module d'authentification. Pour cela, une simple disquette suffit pour transporter son certificat, support parfois utilisé pour communiquer un tel certificat à un utilisateur. Néanmoins ce principe n'offre pas de sécurité suffisante pour le stockage de la clé privée qui est aussi nécessaire aux opérations de transactions en ligne.These certificates are generally stored on a storage unit of a computer, as well as the root certificate which is the certificate of the issuing authority. There is therefore an advantage in having a certificate stored on a removable medium and thus making it possible to play the role of authentication module. For this, a simple floppy disk is enough to transport his certificate, a medium sometimes used to communicate such a certificate to a user. However, this principle does not offer sufficient security for the storage of the private key which is also necessary for online transaction operations.
C'est pourquoi le but de la présente invention est d'assurer la transportabilité d'un certificat électronique et la sécurité de la clé privée.This is why the aim of the present invention is to ensure the transportability of an electronic certificate and the security of the private key.
En effet, il est important que ce certificat ne soit pas utilisé à des fins non contrôlées par le titulaire, telles que l'usurpation d'identité, l'autorisation de transactions non souhaitées ou la reproduction de transactions (replay).Indeed, it is important that this certificate is not used for purposes not controlled by the holder, such as identity theft, authorization of unwanted transactions or the reproduction of transactions (replay).
Ce but est atteint par une méthode de stockage et de transport d'un certificat électronique, ledit certificat comprenant une section autorité propre à l'autorité émettrice, une section titulaire propre au titulaire du certificat et une section signature déterminée par l'autorité émettrice, caractérisée en ce que tout ou partie de la section titulaire est contenue dans un module de sécurité amovible et ce qu'au moins la section autorité est contenue dans un ordinateur hôte.This goal is achieved by a method of storing and transporting an electronic certificate, said certificate comprising an authority section specific to the issuing authority, a holder section specific to the certificate holder and a signature section determined by the issuing authority, characterized in that all or part of the holder section is contained in a removable security module and that at least the authority section is contained in a host computer.
Cette méthode a également l'avantage de diminuer la quantité d'information stockées dans le module de sécurité. Ce module peut avoir la forme d'une carte à puce, un module avec interface PCMCIA ou USB, ou voire un module à transmission sans contact.This method also has the advantage of reducing the amount of information stored in the security module. This module can be in the form of a smart card, a module with PCMCIA or USB interface, or even a contactless transmission module.
Les programmes de transactions sur Internet requièrent une authentification par certificat de type X.509. Il a été constaté qu'une partie de ce certificat peut être commune à un grand nombre d'utilisateurs et représente la section propre à l'autorité (implicite) émettant de tels certificats.
Il est ainsi avantageux, grâce à la présente invention, de ne stocker que la partie propre à chaque utilisateur (explicite) dans le support amovible, dans notre exemple cette unité de sécurité est une carte à puce. Cela évite une redondance d'informations donc une meilleure utilisation de la mémoire.Internet transaction programs require authentication using an X.509 type certificate. It has been noted that part of this certificate can be common to a large number of users and represents the section specific to the (implicit) authority issuing such certificates. It is thus advantageous, thanks to the present invention, to store only the part specific to each user (explicit) in the removable medium, in our example this security unit is a smart card. This avoids redundancy of information and therefore better use of memory.
En effet, dans ces modules, on privilégie le stockage d'informations ayant un contenu de type contractuel tels que les transactions effectuées par le titulaire.In fact, in these modules, preference is given to the storage of information having contractual content such as the transactions carried out by the holder.
Bien que ce certificat soit fractionné, la signature de l'autorité émettrice sur l'ensemble des sections autorité et titulaire permet de rétablir la relation entre ces deux entités. Dès lors qu'une des deux parties est modifiée, l'image unique ne pourra être identique à la valeur de l'authentification calculée avec la clé publique de l'autorité émettrice sur cette signature.Although this certificate is split, the signature of the issuing authority on all the authority and holder sections makes it possible to re-establish the relationship between these two entities. As soon as one of the two parts is modified, the single image cannot be identical to the value of the authentication calculated with the public key of the issuing authority on this signature.
Par signature, on entend le processus qui consiste à déterminer une image unique des données considérée pour cette signature (par une fonction Hash par exemple) et d'encrypter cette image unique par la clé privée de l'entité qui signe. L'algorithme utilisé pour l'établissement de cette signature est une encryption est de type asymétrique.By signature, we mean the process which consists in determining a unique image of the data considered for this signature (by a hash function for example) and in encrypting this unique image by the private key of the entity which signs. The algorithm used for the establishment of this signature is an encryption is of asymmetric type.
Pour la vérification d'une telle signature, on utilise la clé publique de cette entité pour décrypter la signature reçue et cette valeur est comparée avec le résultat de l'image unique effectué sur les données à authentifier. Si la valeur décryptée et l'image unique sont égales, les données sont intègres et authentique.For the verification of such a signature, the public key of this entity is used to decrypt the received signature and this value is compared with the result of the single image carried out on the data to be authenticated. If the decrypted value and the unique image are equal, the data is intact and authentic.
L'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description détaillée qui va suivre et qui se réfère aux dessins annexés qui sont donnés à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif, dans lesquels:The invention will be better understood thanks to the detailed description which follows and which refers to the appended drawings which are given by way of non-limiting example, in which:

- la figure 7 illustre le message envoyé.- Figure 7 illustrates the message sent.
La figure 1 représente l'extraction de la clé publique du certificat racine par l'unité de sécurité SM. Le certificat racine RCA est le certificat de l'autorité émettrice. Cette unité demande à l'unité hôte STB l'envoi du certificat racine RCA associé au certificat du titulaire TCI1. Ce certificat racine contient la clé publique CAPU de l'autorité émettrice. Cette clé permet d'authentifier le certificat du titulaire reconstitué avec la partie implicite et la partie explicite du certificat du titulaire. L'unité hôte STB envoie ce certificat racine vers le module de sécurité SM pour en extraire la clé publique CAPU. Lors de l'installation du certificat du titulaire dans l'unité de sécurité, cette dernière conserve l'image H5 qui est le résultat de la fonction Hash sur le certificat racine RCA.FIG. 1 represents the extraction of the public key from the root certificate by the security unit SM. The RCA root certificate is the certificate of the issuing authority. This unit requests the STB host unit to send the RCA root certificate associated with the holder's certificate TCI1. This root certificate contains the public key CAPU of the issuing authority. This key is used to authenticate the certificate of the holder reconstituted with the implicit part and the explicit part of the holder's certificate. The STB host unit sends this root certificate to the security module SM in order to extract the public key CAPU therefrom. When installing the holder's certificate in the security unit, the latter retains the H5 image which is the result of the hash function on the RCA root certificate.
Parallèlement à l'extraction de la clé publique CAPU (voir module X), la fonction Hash est effectuée par le bloc B sur les données explicites et implicites du certificat racine (explicite = partie propre à l'autorité émettrice, implicite = partie propre à l'autorité ayant certifié l'autorité émettrice) et le résultat H5' est comparé avec la valeur de référence H5 stockée initialement. Si les deux valeurs diffèrent, les opérations d'authentification sont stoppées et l'unité hôte en est informée.
Dans le cas où les deux valeurs H5 et H5' sont égales, la clé publique de l'autorité émettrice est sauvegardée et pourra être utilisée pour des opérations d'authentification du certificat reconstitué du titulaire.In parallel with the extraction of the CAPU public key (see module X), the hash function is performed by block B on the explicit and implicit data of the root certificate (explicit = part specific to the issuing authority, implicit = part specific to the authority having certified the issuing authority) and the result H5 'is compared with the reference value H5 initially stored. If the two values differ, the authentication operations are stopped and the host unit is informed thereof. In the case where the two values H5 and H5 'are equal, the public key of the issuing authority is saved and can be used for authentication operations of the holder's reconstituted certificate.
Si l'unité hôte STB ne dispose pas du certificat racine, il peut en faire la requête sur le réseau Internet auprès par exemple d'un site disposant d'un répertoire (CDir) permettant d'accéder aux certificats souhaités (CA1 , CA2, CAn).If the STB host unit does not have the root certificate, it can request it on the Internet for example from a site with a directory (CDir) allowing access to the desired certificates (CA1, CA2, CAn).
Sur la figure 2, est représenté une première carte à puce SM1 dans laquelle la partie explicite TCE1 du titulaire ainsi que sa clé secrète TS1 sont stockées.FIG. 2 shows a first smart card SM1 in which the explicit part TCE1 of the holder as well as his secret key TS1 are stored.
Du côté de l'unité hôte STB, se trouve un logiciel d'accès à Internet BR appelé couramment navigateur. Pour ce qui concerne les fonctions d'authentification, ce programme fait appel à un logiciel de sécurité SA qui réalise l'interface avec la carte à puce. Il est également en charge de transmettre le certificat dans son ensemble et pour cela, contient les données de la section autorité TCI1.On the side of the STB host unit, there is Internet access software BR commonly called browser. With regard to the authentication functions, this program uses security software SA which interfaces with the smart card. It is also in charge of transmitting the certificate as a whole and for this, contains the data of the TCI1 authority section.
L'unité hôte STB est reliée au reste du monde par Internet par exemple pour accéder les prestataires de services PS1 , PS2, les sites pour obtenir les informations de l'autorité émettrice CauD, les informations de l'heure TSAu et les informations sur le certificat racine CDir.The host unit STB is connected to the rest of the world by the Internet for example to access the service providers PS1, PS2, the sites to obtain the information from the issuing authority CauD, the time information TSAu and the information on the CDir root certificate.
Lors du transfert entre l'unité de sécurité SM1 et l'unité hôte STB, les données concernant la section titulaire TCE1 sont envoyées à l'unité hôte selon une procédure mettant en oeuvre l'unité de sécurité de manière prépondérante. Cette opération sera décrite plus en détail plus avant.During the transfer between the security unit SM1 and the host unit STB, the data concerning the holder section TCE1 are sent to the host unit according to a procedure implementing the security unit predominantly. This operation will be described in more detail later.
La vérification de l'intégrité de ce certificat est fait par le processus illustré à la figure 3. L'unité multimédia ou unité hôte, représentée ici par le bloc STB, transmet les données du certificat contenues dans l'unité hôte à destination de l'unité de sécurité SM. A ce propos, si la partie "autorité"
(implicite) est contenue dans son ensemble dans l'unité hôte STB, il est possible de stocker une partie des informations "utilisateur" (explicite) dans l'unité hôte également, le reste étant placé dans l'unité de sécurité SM.Verification of the integrity of this certificate is done by the process illustrated in FIG. 3. The multimedia unit or host unit, represented here by the block STB, transmits the data of the certificate contained in the host unit to the destination security unit SM. In this regard, if the "authority" part (implicit) is contained as a whole in the host unit STB, it is possible to store part of the "user" information (explicit) in the host unit also, the rest being placed in the security unit SM.
Ces données sont organisées dans le module A alimenté d'une part par l'unité hôte STB, et d'autre part par les données TCE1 de la mémoire de l'unité de sécurité.These data are organized in module A supplied on the one hand by the host unit STB, and on the other hand by the data TCE1 from the memory of the security unit.
Il est important de noter ici que les données TCE1 de l'unité de sécurité ne sont pas simplement envoyées à l'unité hôte STB pour traitement mais que c'est l'unité de sécurité SM qui pilote l'opération.It is important to note here that the data TCE1 of the security unit is not simply sent to the host unit STB for processing but that it is the security unit SM which controls the operation.
Les données reconstituées par le module A, sont redirigées vers l'unité hôte STB et forment le certificat CERT en vue de l'envoi vers un prestataire de service. Le module A fonctionne comme un synchronisateur et recompose le certificat selon le format prédéfini et illustré par le bloc composé des éléments TCE, TCI, SCAT.The data reconstituted by module A, are redirected to the host unit STB and form the CERT certificate for sending to a service provider. Module A functions as a synchronizer and recomposes the certificate according to the predefined format and illustrated by the block composed of the elements TCE, TCI, SCAT.
Dans le certificat reconstitué dans le module A, on extrait la signature SCAT du certificat du titulaire provenant de l'unité hôte STB (voir module X).In the certificate reconstituted in module A, the SCAT signature of the holder's certificate from the STB host unit is extracted (see module X).
Les données réunies, à l'exclusion de la signature SCAT, sont envoyées au module B qui est en charge de la détermination d'une image unique de l'ensemble de ces données. Cette image est obtenue par une fonction Hash (unidirectionnelle et sans collision) qui est effectuée sur l'ensemble des données dans un ordre précis H= f (TCE1 , TCI1 ). Il est admis qu'il n'existe pas d'ensemble de données différent qui donne le même résultat de cette fonction. Cette image est produite par une fonction unidirectionnelle et sans collision de type Hash. L'algorithme utilisé peut être de type SHA-1 ou MD5 et cette image exprime l'ensemble des données d'une manière unique. Le type d'algorithme à utiliser est spécifié dans le certificat.
Cette image est sauvegardée dans le module B1 pour usage futur.The combined data, excluding the SCAT signature, are sent to module B, which is responsible for determining a single image of all of these data. This image is obtained by a hash function (unidirectional and without collision) which is performed on all the data in a precise order H = f (TCE1, TCI1). It is recognized that there is no different data set that gives the same result for this function. This image is produced by a unidirectional and collisionless hash-like function. The algorithm used can be of SHA-1 or MD5 type and this image expresses all of the data in a unique way. The type of algorithm to be used is specified in the certificate. This image is saved in module B1 for future use.
Pour vérifier si les deux parties du certificat sont intègres et authentiques, l'unité de sécurité SM extrait la signature SCAT du certificat et décrypte cette dernière dans le module C grâce à la clé publique de l'autorité CAPU.To verify whether the two parts of the certificate are intact and authentic, the security unit SM extracts the signature SCAT from the certificate and decrypts it in module C using the public key of the CAPU authority.
Pour cette opération, il est tenu compte des paramètres contenu dans le certificat qui décrivent le type de signature et la longueur des clés.For this operation, account is taken of the parameters contained in the certificate which describe the type of signature and the length of the keys.
Dans le module D, la valeur de référence B1' est calculée et comparée avec l'image unique B1. Si les deux valeurs correspondent, le certificat est authentique et pourra servir pour des opérations futures illustrées par le module E. Dans la négative, la carte à puce SM refusera toute opération de transaction et informera l'unité hôte STB.In module D, the reference value B1 'is calculated and compared with the single image B1. If the two values correspond, the certificate is authentic and can be used for future operations illustrated by the module E. If not, the smart card SM will refuse any transaction operation and will inform the host unit STB.
La figure 4 montre l'opération suivante qui consiste à autoriser une transaction. Si le test précédent sur l'authentification du certificat est positif (voir modules D et E de la figure 3), le module hôte STB va pouvoir envoyer la transaction signée à un prestataire de service PS1 , PS2.Figure 4 shows the next step, which is to authorize a transaction. If the previous test on the authentication of the certificate is positive (see modules D and E in FIG. 3), the host module STB will be able to send the signed transaction to a service provider PS1, PS2.
Une transaction Q peut être filtrée par le module F de l'unité de sécurité SM, module qui contient les règles d'acceptation. En effet, il est possible de déterminer un montant maximum ou énumérer une liste des instituts qui sont acceptés par le titulaire de l'unité de sécurité SM. Ces conditions peuvent inclure une date de limite de validité du certificat du titulaire.A transaction Q can be filtered by the module F of the security unit SM, a module which contains the acceptance rules. Indeed, it is possible to determine a maximum amount or to list a list of institutes which are accepted by the holder of the security unit SM. These conditions may include a expiry date of the holder's certificate.
Une fois que la transaction a passé avec succès le filtre du module F, elle est présentée au module B qui calcule une fonction Hash H2 sur l'ensemble de la transaction Q. Le résultat B2 est stocké pour utilisation subséquente. Cette valeur H2 est ensuite signée par la clé privée TS1 du titulaire pour former la signature de transaction SQTM. Le module A2 assemble les données de la transaction Q et la signature de la transaction SQTM pour les envoyer vers l'unité hôte STB.
Selon une variante de l'invention, il est possible d'ajouter à la transaction Q, une limite de validité de la transaction qui est schématisé par le temps TM. Une manière de déterminer ce temps est d'utiliser le temps courant T et d'ajouter la durée de validité ΔT. Ainsi ce temps TM est représenté par : TM= T + ΔT.Once the transaction has successfully passed the filter of module F, it is presented to module B which calculates a Hash H2 function over the entire transaction Q. The result B2 is stored for subsequent use. This value H2 is then signed by the holder's private key TS1 to form the transaction signature SQTM. The module A2 assembles the data of the transaction Q and the signature of the transaction SQTM to send them to the host unit STB. According to a variant of the invention, it is possible to add to the transaction Q, a limit of validity of the transaction which is shown diagrammatically by the time TM. One way of determining this time is to use the current time T and to add the period of validity ΔT. Thus this time TM is represented by: TM = T + ΔT.
Cette limite de validité TM est ajoutée à la transaction Q lors de la détermination de la fonction Hash dans le module B et lors de l'assemblage des données dans le module A2. Lorsque la transaction sera reçue par le prestataire de service, il vérifiera que cette limite n'est pas dépassée.This TM validity limit is added to transaction Q when determining the hash function in module B and when assembling data in module A2. When the transaction is received by the service provider, it will check that this limit is not exceeded.
Selon une variante de l'invention, l'utilisation d'une limite de validité TM peut être rendue obligatoire si un certain montant de transaction est atteint.According to a variant of the invention, the use of a TM validity limit can be made compulsory if a certain transaction amount is reached.
Sur la figure 5 est décrite l'opération d'authentification du temps fourni par l'unité hôte STB. Ces données temps comprennent le temps T proprement dit, une partie aléatoire R et une signature sur les deux précédentes données. Les données du temps T ainsi que la partie aléatoire R et la signature STA sont transmis à l'unité de sécurité SM. A partir du temps T, on détermine la limite de validité TM en ajoutant la durée de validité ΔT. Cette limite sert à définir une durée maximale durant laquelle une transaction pourra être marquée par ce temps.In FIG. 5 is described the authentication operation of the time provided by the host unit STB. These time data comprise the time T proper, a random part R and a signature on the two previous data. The time data T as well as the random part R and the signature STA are transmitted to the security unit SM. From time T, the validity limit TM is determined by adding the duration of validity ΔT. This limit is used to define a maximum duration during which a transaction can be marked by this time.
L'authentification se fait d'une manière analogue aux opérations décrites précédemment, à savoir le calcul d'une fonction Hash sur les données temps T et l'aléa R dans le module B après leur assemblage dans le module A. Le résultat intermédiaire H3 est stocké dans le module B3 pour utilisation subséquente. Pour la détermination de la valeur B3' (module C) on utilise la clé TSPU qui est la clé publique de l'autorité délivrant le temps.Authentication is done in a manner analogous to the operations described above, namely the calculation of a hash function on the time data T and the hazard R in module B after their assembly in module A. The intermediate result H3 is stored in module B3 for subsequent use. For the determination of the value B3 ′ (module C), the key TSPU is used which is the public key of the authority issuing the time.
Dans le cas où la clé TSPU n'est pas disponible dans l'unité de sécurité SM, une requête est transmise via l'unité hôte STB pour rechercher le
certificat correspondant à l'autorité émettrice du temps T qui contient cette clé.In the case where the TSPU key is not available in the security unit SM, a request is transmitted via the host unit STB to find the certificate corresponding to the issuing authority of time T which contains this key.
On compare (module D) ensuite cette valeur calculé B3' avec l'image unique B3 des données T et R, pour déterminer si le temps est authentique.This calculated value B3 'is then compared (module D) with the single image B3 of the data T and R, to determine whether the time is authentic.
Sur la figure 6 est indiqué l'opération de liaison du certificat et de la transaction, et optionnellement le temps ainsi que d'autres informations concernant la transaction. Les valeurs précédentes B1 du certificat, B2 de la transaction et B3 du temps sont organisées dans le module A et envoyées au module B pour déterminer la fonction Hash. Cette valeur est ensuite signée par la clé secrète du titulaire TS1. Le résultat est la signature SETM de l'enveloppe comprenant l'ensemble certificat, transaction et temps.In FIG. 6 is indicated the operation for linking the certificate and the transaction, and optionally the time and other information relating to the transaction. The previous values B1 of the certificate, B2 of the transaction and B3 of the time are organized in module A and sent to module B to determine the hash function. This value is then signed by the secret key of the holder TS1. The result is the SETM signature of the envelope comprising the certificate, transaction and time set.
Cette enveloppe est illustrée à la figure 7.This envelope is illustrated in Figure 7.
Du fait que la gestion de la mémoire est un aspect important dans une unité de sécurité, la signature de l'enveloppe SETM est déterminée sur la base des valeurs résultant des fonctions Hash de chaque étape. Cette manière de procéder permet de relier toutes les données et garantir que toutes chaque partie du message n'a pas été altérée.Since memory management is an important aspect in a security unit, the signature of the SETM envelope is determined on the basis of the values resulting from the hash functions of each step. This procedure makes it possible to link all the data and guarantee that all each part of the message has not been altered.
II serait également possible de calculer une signature d'enveloppe en prenant chaque élément séparément et de calculer la fonction Hash sur ceux-ci. Néanmoins cette méthode implique la mémorisation de tout le message pour effectuer cette opération.
It would also be possible to calculate an envelope signature by taking each element separately and to calculate the hash function on them. However, this method involves memorizing the entire message to perform this operation.
