- ******Les dispositifs de fiabilisation****** les plus répandus sont les mécanismes de « session » et de « ratification » :
la session, qui est essentielle en cas de présence de plusieurs opérateurs, consiste à garantir que toute écriture d’informations dans le composant soit complète ou annulée en cas d’interruption de la transaction(- en cas de présentation trop rapide - ….), permettant ainsi de reprendre la transaction dans de bonnes conditions.
___________
I'm stuck with fiabilisation. "Reliability systems" doesn't sound right to me and gets very few g-hits, but I don't know what we do call this.
Other components mentioned are the chip, antenna, magnetic strip, processor instructions, etc
Any help with this particular term would be much appreciated - many thanks!

security mechanisms/authentication mechanisms
The 'ratification' and 'session' mechanisms appear to have been patented by Innovatron/RATP/SNCF:
http://www.innovatron.fr/applicationpatent.html
http://www.spirtech.com/CalypsoFuncSpecification.pdf
Both of the above references are worth checking out (though I suspect you've already seen them). They have a very translated feel already and the English is clunky in parts, but they were sufficient to convince me that what you're after is best summarised by 'security mechanisms' or 'authentication mechanisms'. Security and authentication fit the context and I think sit well with what is intended by 'fiabilisation'. Both have lots of g-hits.
I would use 'mechanism' instead of 'system' (more g-hits but also generally fits the concext better, I think). On this basis because the word 'mécanisme' already features in your text, I'd suggest something like:
"The most widely used authentication mechanisms are those of 'session' and 'ratification'..."

| thanks, I think authentication (or something like it!) could well be what I'm looking for! |

Comment: "many thanks everyone! In the end I needed something very concise, and needed to avoid "mechanism", as this apears further on. It seems that the "session" mechanism can be part of a security system, so this fits the bill"

devices improving reliability
Here are a few examples of use in support of my choice:
Most devices that improve reliability and power quality, such as a storage device, an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS), or
devices with its own technology, however, both to improve reliability and ... EasyPay terminals need to plug into a credit card reader, something that

Example sentence:
microelectronic device is "coherent". (ie, improving the reliability of one failure ...
Note from asker:
| thanks - this is identical to my very first stab! |

reliability enhancement techniques
If they were talking about security and authentication, I think they'd be using the French cognates of those words (which are common in this context). The security aspect here seems to focus on protection from non-malicious, unintentional, extraneous or accidental interference that thwarts the desired outcome, so that the system reliably does what you want (cf. the example of multiple users on a time-sharing system editing the same file at the same time).
Note from asker:
| thanks - another posibility! |

Reference:
timeouts (computer systems)
not sure if this is appropriate for your translation, but
"For example, consider that the environment wide transaction timeout has been set to 20ms, the environment wide lock timeout has been set to 10ms, a transaction has been created in this environment and its timeout value set to 8ms, and a specific lock request has been made on behalf of this transaction where the lock timeout was set to 4ms. By default, transactions in this environment will be timed out if they block waiting for a lock after 20ms. The specific transaction described will be timed out if it blocks waiting for a lock after 8ms. By default, any lock request in this system will be timed out if it blocks longer than 10ms, and the specific lock described will be timed out if it blocks longer than 4ms."
I think this is what operates when a cashpoint machine returns your card if you take too long to enter a request

..may just refer to entries that are too slow (yours appears to be those made too fast?)
