A method of providing improved security in a communication system used to transfer information between at least a pair of correspondents. The communication between the correspondents generally comprises steps of generating key pairs in accordance with the arithmetic properties of a chosen algorithm, communicating one of the keys, being a public key, to the other party by way of a certificate, generation and transmission of a signature using a private key of the key pairs by one of the correspondents and transmitting the signature to the other correspondent and verification of the signature by the recipient. The invention provides for the additional step of verifying the public key conform to the arithmetic properties dictated by the requirements of the selected algorithm.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'assurer une sécurité améliorée dans un système de communication utilisé pour transférer des informations entre au moins deux correspondants. La communication entre les correspondants consiste en général à générer des paires de clés selon les propriétés arithmétiques d'un algorithme choisi, à communiquer une des clés, qui est une clé publique, à l'autre partie au moyen d'un certificat, de la génération et de la transmission d'une signature en utilisant une clé privée parmi les paires de clés par un des correspondants et à transmettre la signature à l'autre correspondant, la signature étant vérifiée par le destinataire. Le procédé consiste en outre à vérifier la conformité de la clé publique avec les propriétés arithmétiques requises par l'algorithme sélectionné.
