Abstract

La présente divulgation concerne un procédé (400) et un système (100) qui permettent de verrouiller un contenu généré par un utilisateur de manière sélective. Le procédé consiste à recevoir, au niveau d'une unité d'émission-réception (102), un ou plusieurs contenus générés par un utilisateur. Ensuite, le procédé consiste à identifier automatiquement, par l'intermédiaire d'une unité de traitement (104) reliée à l'unité d'émission-réception (102), au moins un contenu cible dans le ou les contenus générés par un utilisateur sur la base d'au moins un critère de sélection généré de manière dynamique. Le procédé consiste ensuite à associer, par l'intermédiaire d'une unité d'authentification (106) reliée à l'unité de traitement (104) et à l'unité d'émission-réception (102), au moins un mécanisme de sécurité avec le ou les contenus cibles. Le procédé consiste ensuite à verrouiller automatiquement, par l'intermédiaire de l'unité de traitement (104), le ou les contenus cibles de manière sélective sur la base du ou des mécanismes de sécurité.
