Connection authorization from a communication device to an application

Abstract

Connection authorization from a communication device (CD) to an application server (AS) uses an electronic device (ED) to provide a first dataset to a security server (SS) in response to a first request, the first dataset related to a certificate of the ED. The ED retrieves an intermediary certificate generated by the SS based on the first dataset and signed by the SS. When the ED is connected to a CD intended to be introduced in a secured network, the ED receives a second request from the CD including a second dataset related to a certificate of the CD. The ED then generates a third dataset related to a signature of certificate of the CD and to the intermediary certificate. The ED thereafter sends the third dataset to the CD to obtain authorization to access to the secure network from the AS by using the third dataset.
