Embodiment Construction
[0083] The embodiments have been described in relation to chip cards, but are of course applicable to any other electronic security device or component with encrypted computing means.
[0084] Such as figure 1 As shown in , the chip card 1 comprises a microprocessor 2 coupled with a fixed memory (ROM) 3 and a random access memory (RAM) 4, which collectively constitute an assembly allowing the execution of functions such as encryption algorithms. More precisely, the microprocessor 2 contains the arithmetic operation means necessary for the algorithm, and the circuits for transferring data with the memories 3 and 4 . The fixed memory 3 contains the program in source code form for executing the encryption algorithm, while the random access memory 4 contains registers which can be updated for storing calculation results.
[0085] The chip card 1 also contains a communication interface 5 connected to the microprocessor 2 and allowing data exchange with the external environment. T...
