Abstract

See full text

The method is designed to increase the protection of a microcircuit-based memory card comprising at least one memory coupled to a data-processing element. When said data-processing element receives a command by a data signal external to the card, said method consists in making said data-processing element emit a ratification signal at an instant that is deferred, with respect to the instant at which its emission was prompted by the data signal, by a duration that is randomly variable in time. The disclosed method can be applied to microcircuit-based memory cards.
