Abstract

See full text

A method of writing data to non-volatile memory such as electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) in a smart card provides a write status region of EEPROM which is examined on each reset of the card. If the preceding write operation was unsuccessful, perhaps because of deliberate manipulation of the card, a recovery procedure is implemented. If recovery is successful, the card operation can be run. Otherwise the card is unusable.
