The invention specifically relates to a method for virtually connecting two persons, with the first person having a first NFC device and the second person having a second NEC device. One of the NFC devices is a telecommunications terminal comprising an application, and both NFC devices comprise the identity of the person to which they belong. According to the invention, the method includes transmitting the identity of the first person from the first NFC device to the second NFC device; transmitting the identity of the second person from the second NFC device to the first NFC device; generating a secret shared by the persons using the application, with the shared secret giving access to an Internet space shared by the persons; and storing the shared secret in the NFC devices, with a reference relating to the virtual connection thereof.
