Patent attributes
Disclosed is a method for validating a digital request in which cooperating entities are able to use security processors loaded with an application for processing the request, each processor issuing, on request, a digital certificate of integrity; wherein said method includes: an application integrity verification process such that, based on the issued certificates, each entity ensures that each of the other entities implements an application identical to its own; a process by which entities create a common secret and thus form a group of Creative entities; and a process by which entities of the group of Creative entities designate the signatory entities, thus forming a group of cooperating signatory entities, so that, as such, the group has access to the common secret; in order for the request to be validated if and only if entities of the group of signatory entities implement the application by means of the common secret.
