Abstract
The invention relates to a system (S) comprising a first authenticating entity (MOB_OP_SRV) and a portable communication device (MP) equipped with an NFC antenna (MP_A), and comprising means (SIM) to authenticate the user of the portable communication device (MP) to the first authenticating entity (MOB_OP_SRV), The system (S) further comprises a second authenticating entity (3RD_PTY_SRV), and a portable authentication device (SC) equipped with an NFC antenna (SC_A). The portable authentication device (SC) stores authentication credentials (3RD_PTY_K) for authenticating the user to the second authenticating entity (3RD_PTY_SRV), The portable communication device (MP) comprises means to authenticate the user to the second authenticating entity (3RD_PTY_SRV) by communicating with the portable authentication device (SC) through the NFC antennas (NAP_A; SC_A). The invention also relate to a portable communication device (MP) and to a method for authenticating a user to an authenticating entity (3RD_PTY_SRV).
