A method of authenticating a unit of equipment within a networked environment is disclosed. A unique digital signature is generated for each unit of equipement and stored therein. When the unit of equipment is installed in the networked environment it will not operate within the network unless the network can authenticate the digital signature by request self test (80) and then performs the self test (90). The generation and authentication of the digital signature (60) are based on a digital signature standard (DSS).

L'invention concerne un procédé d'authentification d'une unité d'équipement au sein d'un environnement réseau. Selon ledit procédé, une signature numérique unique est créée pour chaque unité d'équipement et stockée dans l'unité correspondante. Une fois que l'unité d'équipement est installée dans l'environnement réseau, ladite unité ne pourra pas fonctionner dans le réseau avant authentification de la signature numérique par le réseau. La création et l'authentification de la signature numérique se font sur la base d'un standard de signature numérique (DSS).
