A method of secure program execution particularly suited for online gaming. A user has a console (110) and a game support (120). When the user asks 210 to play the game online, a processor (124) in the console contacts (220) an online server (110) through a network (140). The processor (124) receives (230) at least one challenge and forwards it to an authorisation processor (134) of the game support (120) that responds (240) via the console (120). During authentication, the authorisation processor (134) provides (250) a unique identifier and proves that it is a legitimate secure processor for the game. Upon successful authentication, the online server (110) grants (260) the user access to a user account (118) linked to the identifier. Also provided is a game support (120) and combination of console (110) and game support (120).
