METHOD FOR VERIFYING THE SECURITY OF A GENERATING DEVICE OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS

摘要

It is proposed to verify the security of a generator device (130) of private and public cryptographic keys. Such a method is remarkable in that it comprises: a step of generating at least one pair of private and public cryptographic keys by said device generating cryptographic keys from at least one random element originating from a generator of randomness; a step of transmitting, to at least one verification device (110), at least one constituent element of a generated private or public key, and a step of determining the security level of said generating device ( 130) of cryptographic keys from said at least one transmitted element, based on information stored by said at least one verification device (110).
