Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for controlling access to EEPROMs' and to a corresponding computer software product and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can in particular be used to prevent the unauthorized manipulation of EEPROMs. Specifically, it is possible by using the invention to stop the unauthorized use of totally erased EEPROMs on smart-card controllers. EEPROM fuses that, depending on the application, comprise one or more bits, are used in the continuing course of operation of a controller, to permit or forbid security-related functions. Provision is made as part of the invention for EEPROM fuses to be used to permit writing to the EEPROM only if said fuse comprises a given combination of bits. Any manipulation of this fuse, such as by erasing the entire matrix for example or else by manipulating the booting process, then bars all further write accesses to the EEPROM. Similarly, a chip card where the user erases the entire EEPROM in the event of an attack being detected is automatically barred in this way against any further writing operations.

Abstract: In an IC card 30 is sealed an IC chip 70 provided with an exposure sensor 84. When exposure sensor 84 detects that IC card 30 has been opened, exposure sensor 84 outputs an exposure detection signal to a CPU 76. In response to the exposure detection signal, CPU 76 provides a predetermined operation, such as erasure of data in a non-volatile memory 78. As such, the data in non-volatile memory 78 cannot be obtained if IC card 30 is improperly opened to check the data in non-volatile memory 78. Thus the IC card can obtain an enhanced data security.

Abstract translation: 在IC卡30中密封设置有曝光传感器84的IC芯片70.当曝光传感器84检测到IC卡30已被打开时，曝光传感器84将曝光检测信号输出到CPU 76.响应于曝光检测 CPU 76提供诸如擦除非易失性存储器78中的数据的预定操作。因此，如果IC卡30被不正确地打开以检查非易失性存储器78中的数据，则不能获得非易失性存储器78中的数据。 因此，IC卡可以获得增强的数据安全性。

Abstract: A system for managing token image replacement is provided. The system includes a remote server, a personal computer (PC) connected to the remote server, a smartcard that can be read by the PC, and a card image server. Using application logic and rules, the remote server is able to read the card image on the smartcard and determine if the card image on the smartcard needs to be updated. If an indicator on the smartcard is set to nullupdatenull, the remote server then retrieves a backup card image that corresponds to the card from the card image server. The remote server forwards the backup card image to the PC which, in turn, writes the backup card image including transaction information to the smartcard. Once the backup card image is written onto the smartcard, the indicator in the smartcard is then reset to ensure that subsequent interactions with the system would not initiate an update.

Abstract: The card contains value information suitable for being debited by the machine in consideration for delivering goods or service. The machine causes a ratification flag stored in the non-volatile memory of the card to be modified between two states, namely: a ratified state corresponding to the case where the preceding transaction performed with the card, whether with the same machine or with another machine, took place correctly, and a non-ratified state for the case when said preceding transaction was interrupted in the course of being executed. The machine successively: conditionally debits the card if the flag is in the ratified state; causes the card to put the flag in the non-ratified state if a debit took place in the preceding step; then causes the goods or service to be delivered; and if delivery takes place effectively in the preceding step, causes the flag to be put by the card into the ratified state.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device has a memory area that includes a data memory. The data memory has a counter element and an indicator element. The counter element counts at least one number of occurrences of events within the device. When the counter element reaches a threshold value, which is indicative of a large maximum number of occurrences of the events, the indicator element goes from a first state to a second state.
