Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006024732A1] The invention relates to an anonymous authentication method based on an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm. The inventive method is used by an authentication entity (B) to authenticate a client entity (A) using a public-key encryption (ASYM (PB, R) )/decryption (ASYM(SB, R')) algorithm which is implemented at the client entity end and the authentication entity end respectively. At the client entity end, the inventive method comprises the following steps: generation of a cryptogram (R'), consisting in encrypting a message (R) containing an identification datum (idA) for the identification of said entity, a secret datum (KA) and an authentication counter value (CA, CB), thereby guaranteeing that the authentication is not performed a second time; and sending of the cryptogram to the authentication entity. At the authentication entity end, the method comprises the following steps: decryption of the cryptogram; using a database (BD) to save a record comprising at least the client entity identification datum, for each client entity to be authenticated; determination of the record corresponding to the decrypted identification datum; and verification of the correspondence between the decrypted secret datum and the secret datum of the client entity obtained from the record.
