The invention generally relates to the field of biometric authentication methods. The invention specifically relates to a method for authenticating first communication equipment by means of second communication equipment. Compared with the known biometric authentication methods of the prior art, the invention enables an increase to be achieved in the number of exchanges in authenticating (2) the first equipment by means of the second equipment and in opening (3) a secure communication channel between said two pieces of equipment, therefore saving time, said authentication and channel-opening operations taking place in the biometric authentication methods between, on the one hand, a detection (1) of the first equipment by the second equipment, and a biometric authentication (5) of the user and a selection of an application and an application-related transaction between the two pieces of equipment on the other hand. |
