Abstract:
1. An authentication method of at least one application working in a Pay-TV decoder connected by a network to a control server, said Pay-TV decoder being locally connected to a security module, said application being at least one of loadable and executable via an application execution environment of the Pay-TV decoder and the at least one application being configured to use resources stored in the security module, the method comprising: receiving by the control server, via the network, identification data including at least an identifier of the Pay-TV decoder and an identifier of the security module; analyzing and verifying, by the control server, said identification data and, based on the analysis and verification, the control server creating a protection profile defining resources of the security module that can be used by the at least one application, the protection profile being created based on at least one of, generating, by the control server, a cryptogram, the cryptogram including a digest of the at least one application, the identification data, the protection profile and at least one of an identifier of the at least one application and an identifier of security module resources; and transmitting the at least one application and the cryptogram by the control server, via the network and the Pay-TV decoder, to the security module, wherein, when the at least one application and cryptogram are transmitted at a same time, the method includes, performing the verifying by the security module when the cryptogram is accepted.
