METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS TO OUT-OF-BAND CONTENTS FOR COMBINATION WITH TRUSTED CONTENTS, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENTS

摘要

A method is intended for controlling access to out-of-band contents, provided by an out-of-band source, by at least one communication equipment connected to a managed source, providing trusted contents, and coupled to this out-of-band source. This method includes the steps of:(i) transmitting security data, representative of a policy defining out-of-band contents that are allowed to be combined with a trusted content, from a communication equipment to a network equipment connected to the out-of-band source, and(ii) transmitting a message, requesting transmission on a chosen trusted communication path of a chosen out-of-band content to be combined with the trusted content, from the communication equipment to the network equipment, enforcing the policy associated to this trusted content into a security means of the network equipment, transmitting this chosen out-of-band content to at least the communication equipment requesting it through this chosen trusted communication path if it conforms to the enforced policy.
