CA 2709327

Trust between entities participating in an upgrade or enablement/disablement process is established and, to facilitate this remotely and securely, a highly tamper resistant point of trust in the system that is being produced is used. This point of trust enables a more efficient distribution system to be used. Through either a provisioning process or at later stages, i.e. subsequent to installation, manufacture, assembly, sale, etc.; the point of trust embodied as a feature controller on the device or system being modified is given a feature set (or updated feature set) that, when validated, is used to enable or disable entire features or to activate portions of the feature.

La présente invention permet d'établir la confiance entre des entités participant à une mise à niveau ou à un procédé d'activation ou de désactivation, ainsi que de les faciliter à distance et en toute sécurité. L'invention concerne également un point de confiance anti-falsification dans le système produit. Ce point de confiance permet d'utiliser un système de distribution plus efficace. Grâce à un procédé de fourniture ou lors des étapes ultérieures, c'est-à-dire après l'installation, la fabrication, l'assemblage, la vente, etc., le point de confiance se présentant sous la forme de contrôleur de caractéristiques sur le dispositif ou le système modifié se voit attribuer un ensemble de caractéristiques (ou un ensemble de caractéristiques mis à jour) qui, lorsqu'il est validé, est utilisé pour activer ou désactiver des caractéristiques entières ou pour activer des parties de la caractéristique.
