Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0146785A2] The invention relates to a method and a device for verifying the authenticity and integrity of a file which has been received, or is to be transmitted from a computer (14) and which is furnished with a digital signature. For the verification process, said method accesses signals which are available at an interface (18) of the computer that is linked to an output device (16) for outputting the file furnished with the digital signature. A device (20) for carrying out the method comprises a circuit and a programme which are used to perform the verification in the device (20), in a manner which is logically separate from the central calculation unit of the computer (14). The device (20) is coupled to an interface (18) of the computer (14) that is linked to an output device (16), in such a way that it detects the signals used for the verification, in order to output the file furnished with the digital signature.
