ROUTER
In an embodiment an electronic device includes at least a first electronic module, a secure element, a router configured to transmit first data between the first module and a second module and a third-party module different from the first module and the second module, wherein the electronic device is configured to verify, via an authentication method, whether the third-party module is authorized when it requests access to the first data.
1 . An electronic device comprising:
at least a first electronic module;
a secure element;
a router configured to transmit first data between the first module and a second module; and
a third-party module different from the first module and the second module,
wherein the electronic device is configured to verify, via an authentication method, whether the third-party module is authorized to access the first data when it requests access to the first data.
2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the secure element or the router is configured to store the first data during implementation of the authentication method.
3 . The device according to claim 2 , wherein the first data are at least partially visible for the third-party module when stored.
4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the router is configured to implement the authentication method.
5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the secure element is configured to implement the authentication method.
6 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication method authenticates the third-party module, and the first module, the second module or a user of the device.
7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the router is configured to request authorization to be in a secure mode.
8 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the router comprises a series of rules concerning a security policy of communications of the device.
9 . The device according to claim 8 , wherein the secure element is configured to transmit the series of rules to the router.
10 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second module is part of the electronic device.
11 . A system comprising:
a first electronic device according to claim 1 ; and
a second electronic device,
wherein the second module is part of the second electronic device different form the first electronic device.
12 . A method for communicating first data exchanged between a first module of a first electronic device and a second module to a third-party module of the first electronical device, the third-party module being different than the first module and the second module, wherein the first device comprises a secure element and a router, the method comprising:
transmitting the first data between the first module and the second module;
requesting, by the third-party module, to access the first data; and
verifying, by an authentication method, whether the third-party module is authorized to access to the first data,
wherein the router is adaptable to be set in a secure mode.
13 . The method according to claim 12 , storing, in the secure element or the router, the first data while performing the authentication method.
14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the first data are at least partially visible for the third-party module when stored.
15 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the authentication method is implemented by the router.
16 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the authentication method is implemented by the secure element.
17 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the authentication method authenticates the third-party module, and the first module, the second module or a user of the first device.
18 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the authentication method is implemented by an external server.
19 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the authentication method comprises executing secondary rules.
20 . The method according to claim 12 , further comprising requesting, by the router, an authorization to be in the secure mode, or waiting, by the router, for receiving specific instructions to be in the secure mode.
