摘要

A user authentication method performed by a computer (FS) by means of a device (6) for storing data derived from a smart card (4) though cryptographic operations, in said smart card (4) being stored a digital certificate (CDCIE), a private key (PrKCIE) and the public key (PbKCIE) corresponding to said private key (PrKCIE); since said storing device (6) is univocally bound to said smart card (4), it can be used in an apparatus (10) able to communicate with said computer (FS) of a service provider, in order to authenticate the user of the storing device (6).
