back door

French translation: porte dérobée

Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology)
English term or phrase: back door
Dans un contrat de niveau de service.

X represents and warrants that:
(i)...
(iv) X's technology shall not deliver any viruses, Trojan horses, trap doors, ***back doors***, Easter eggs, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage...

Rien sur le portail de Microsoft ou sur FranceTerme et IATE donne « porte dérobée », ainsi que Wikipedia. OK, mais c'est aussi la traduction donnée pour trap door juste avant (et pour Trojan horse aussi, d'ailleurs).

Termium donne « porte arrière », ce qui ne me dérange pas si les spécialistes hexagonaux sont d'accord.

Sinon, s'agit-il d'un synonyme de trap door, auquel cas une seule traduction pour les deux termes ?

Merci !

Dans un logiciel, une porte dérobée (de l'anglais backdoor, littéralement porte de derrière) est une fonctionnalité inconnue de l'utilisateur légitime, qui donne un accès secret au logiciel. L'introduction d'une porte dérobée dans un logiciel à l'insu de son utilisateur transforme le logiciel en cheval de Troie.

entrée secrète


Explanation:
The more accurate description of what is a "back door" in software /IT systems design.

The KEY POINT of that kind of "back door" is that only the software designer knows that it's there and how to get through it in the system.
