Method for managing a procedure for a back-up mode of a transaction, and associated device

Abstract

The invention essentially relates to a method for managing a backup procedure of a transaction backup mode, which can be activated in the event of a computer attack or a failure on a transaction network, implemented by an electronic device ( 110) adapted to perform a transaction in a normal mode or the backup mode, said method comprising the following steps: Receiving (F340) an activation command (CA) of said emergency mode procedure, comprising an identifier of the procedure and a first encrypted data, Checking (F360) of the activation command (CA), comprising a verification of said first encrypted data, • if the verification of the command is successful, activation (F370) of the rescue procedure.

  1. 1
    Method for managing a backup procedure of a transaction backup mode, which can be activated in the event of a computer attack or breakdown on a transaction network (120), implemented by an electronic device (110) capable to carry out a transaction according to a normal mode or the backup mode, said method comprising the following steps:Reception (F340, F455) of an activation command (CA) of said emergency mode procedure, comprising an identifier of the procedure and a first encrypted datum, • verification (F360) of the activation command (CA), comprising a verification of said first encrypted data, • if the order verification is successful, activation (F370) of the emergency procedure (PMS), • after activation (F370) of the backup procedure (PMS) and following an initialization of a transaction between the electronic device (110) and a reader (130), sending (F520) of a message (M2) said reader (130) comprising a consultation request (RQ) from a normal mode server (124) of the transaction network (120), and • upon receipt (F540) of a message (M3) indicating that the consultation of the server (124) in normal mode has failed, sending (F570) to said reader (130) a cryptogram (CR) comprising at least one item of information on said procedure (PMS).
  2. 4
    Method according to any one of Claims 1 to 3, in which the at least one piece of information on said procedure (PMS) of the cryptogram is one of the following pieces of information:• a date for the start of the said procedure (PMS), • a date for the end of the said procedure (PMS), • said identifier of said procedure (PMS), • an indication that said cryptogram (CR) is generated during the implementation of said procedure (PMS).
  3. 5
    Method according to any one of Claims 1 to 4, in which said received message (M3) comprises a date of the transaction, the method comprising the following steps:• verification (F550) that the transaction date is between a start date and an end date of the procedure, • if the transaction date is before the start date or after the end date of the procedure, deactivation of this procedure.
  4. 6
    Method according to any one of Claims 1 to 5, in which the message (M3) received comprises the amount of the transaction, the method comprising the following steps:• incrementing a transaction number counter, • incrementing a transaction amount counter, • if the incremented transaction number counter is less than a transaction number threshold value and if the transaction amount counter is less than a transaction amount threshold value, a step of accepting the transaction.
  5. 7
    Method according to any one of Claims 1 to 6, comprising a step of authentication (F350, G450) of a user of the electronic device, the step of verification (F360) of the activation command (CA) being set implemented if the authentication step (F350, G450) is successful.
  6. 8
    Method according to any one of Claims 1 to 7, comprising a step of deactivation (F650) of said procedure, upon reception (F640) of a deactivation command (CDA) of said procedure (PMS).
  7. 9
    Electronic device (110) capable of implementing a method according to any one of claims 1 to 8.
  8. 10
    Computer program (P1) comprising instructions for the execution of the steps of the method according to any one of Claims 1 to 8 when said program is executed by a computer.
  9. 11
    Recording medium readable by a computer on which a computer program (P1) is recorded comprising instructions for the execution of the steps of the method according to any one of claims 1 to 8.
