Secure electric anti-theft device, anti-theft system comprising one such device and method of matching electric devices
First Claim
1. Electrical device for connection to a predetermined network containing at least one watchdog device, where said electrical device comprises:
- storage means, configuration means for authorising its operation in the presence of said watchdog device, means for identifying at least one watchdog device when the electrical device is connected to any network containing such a watchdog device; and
means for disabling the electrical device if the watchdog device identified does not correspond to the watchdog device for which it was configured or if said network does not contain a watchdog device, wherein the configuration means are suitable for recording a public identifier of the watchdog device for which the electrical device is configured, in the storage means.

Abstract
The invention particularly relates to an electrical device for connection to a predetermined network containing at least one watchdog device. The electrical device comprises configuration means for authorising its operation in the presence of said watchdog device, where these configuration means are based on the recording of a watchdog device public identifier in storage means of the electrical device; means for identifying at least one watchdog device when the electrical device is connected to any network containing such a watchdog device, and means for disabling the electrical device if the watchdog device identified does not correspond to the watchdog device for which it was configured or if said network does not contain a watchdog device. The invention also concerns an antitheft system and a method for pairing devices.
