clé unique payante

English translation: subscriber-unique key /subscriber's unique key

Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology)
French term or phrase: clé unique payante
My text describes the drawbacks of the ANTS (Agence nationale des titres sécurisés) website:

Usage de ***clé unique payante*** par utilisateur, empêchant l’accès simultané de plusieurs personnes

Not being an IT person, I don't know what the correct term is though the meaning is clear. I've googled "unique key" and "single key" and while there are hits, these terms seem to refer to something else entirely.

English translation:subscriber-unique key /subscriber's unique key
Explanation:
A term that meets both of the requirements specified:
* paid for, as in 'subscription-based'
* unique to only that single subscriber

Protecting IT Systems from Cyber Crime

"However, a much more dramatic gain still, in security, is obtained when a
“subscriber unique” key, known only to the given subscriber and the key-distribution
centre, is used..."

NB: Summary 'disagrees' here will need to be substantiated with something much firmer than 'random guesswork".

Another way of saying exactly the same thing would be:

"single-user key (paid)"

single user n—utilisateur unique m · seul utilisateur m

disagree  mchd: ce n'est pas le même contexte ! "payante" par utilisateur = une clé à acheter pour chaque utilisateur

disagree  Daryo: Why would you expect "l'Agence nationale des titres sécurisés" to use SAP which is a software meant for something totally else??? check yourself what SAP is for and what this site is dealing with...

disagree  Daryo: no, that would be in French "clé unique de paiement" not quite the same as "payante" (=> you have to pay to get a "unique key") // BTW "single key" is the opposite of "double / triple etc key", here it's a "unique key"

clé unique payante
paid unique key


Explanation:
the site in question: "Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés"

https://ants.gouv.fr/

What they are dealing with

"Passeports, Carte nationale d'identité, Permis de conduire, Visa de séjour etc..."

sounds like some kind of official digital repository for all sorts of personal documents

I couldn't find who would need a "clé unique" for what exactly, but "clé unique" is definitely a "unique key", and "payante" means that you have to pay to get this "unique key"

you could assume that "clé unique payante par utilisateur" means that the "user" has to pay to get this unique key, but without more context, it might well be a wrong assumption. All we know for sure is that these "unique keys" are not for free, but WHO is supposed to pay is not obvious.

disagree  Daryo: have you even looked at THE website relevant for THIS question? ** https://ants.gouv.fr ** // they are an official governmental website, not some kind of streaming service of the Amazon or Netflix or SKY variety to have "subscribers".

  -> The Irish have a word for it - begins with gob....!
agree  Yvonne Gallagher: serial disagreer doesn't understand wider meaning of "subscriber" but "paid-for single-user key" is probably clearer for those with such poor English

  -> Thx Yvonne, something only "native speakers" might be aware of... :)
agree  SafeTex: I too don't see quite see how "subcriber" even got into the post as the context tells us that the key is used by the "user" so "subcriber" is indeed unnecessary IMHO

  -> Thx - subscriber is used here only to denote 'paid for'....

One-time code


Explanation:
I would ask for a demo of the system to see this part of the signin process in action. Barring that, two-factor authentication is a commonly used technology that helps secure an online account against fraudulent access. Two-factor authentication mechanisms often send a “one-time code” to somebody signing in to a system via text message to the legitimate user’s cell phone.

Of course, this might be a custom-built mechanism. Which brings me back to the request for a demo. This is the best guess I can hazard using the information given.

disagree  Tony M: I'm pretty sure that's not the type of meaning 'unique' has here. It's a single-user 'dongle' or software key.
37 mins
  -> That may be right, Tony. As I wrote above, though, a demo of the software (or more context) would remove all doubt.
