Abstract: Dans des terminaux en libre service tels que, par exemple, les distributeurs automatiques de billets, les données d'identification sont habituellement saisies en tapant un code secret au clavier du distributeur automatique de billets. Ces claviers sont dotés de mécanismes de cryptage, ils sont réalisés sous la forme de claviers EPP (Encrypting ?I? Pad) et ils coûtent très cher. La saisie du code secret elle-même est menacée d'espionnage. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, l'invention propose un procédé et un système d'authentification et d'exécution d'une transaction au niveau d'un terminal en libre service, en particulier un distributeur automatique de billets (ATM). Le système comprend les composants suivants : un premier module informatisé (PINSRV) qui lie à un premier jeu de données contenant des premiers éléments (0, 1, 2, 3,... 9) à partir desquels des données d'identification (PIN) sont formées un deuxième jeu de données contenant des deuxièmes éléments (A, B, C,... J) associés chacun de manière biunivoque à un des premiers éléments; un écran (DISP) qui par construction est relié au terminal en libre service (ATM) et qui affiche l'association biunivoque des deuxièmes éléments aux premiers éléments; un terminal d'utilisateur (MD) qui par construction est séparé du terminal en libre service (ATM), qui est associé à un utilisateur (CSM) et qui affiche les deuxièmes éléments (A, B, C,... J) mais pas les premiers éléments (0, 1, 2, 3,... 9) afin de permettre à l'utilisateur d'introduire les données de saisie (#PIN) au niveau du terminal d'utilisateur (MD). Un programme applicatif (MBA) tournant sur le terminal d'utilisateur transmet les données saisies (#PIN) à un deuxième module informatisé (SRV) qui authentifie la transaction, et le premier module informatisé (PINSRV) gère l'association biunivoque des deuxièmes éléments (A, B, C,... J) aux premiers éléments (0, 1, 2, 3,... 9).
