Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a secure hardware environment having a first input that receives a key number. A key generation device generates a secret key from the key number and a unique key. A signature generation device generates a signature associated with the key number. A second input of the secure hardware environment receives encrypted binary data. A decryption device operates to decrypt the received encrypted binary data using the secret key. A third input the secure hardware environment receives an authentication signature. An authentication device authorizes use of the secret key to decrypt only if the signature generated by the signature generation device is identical to the authentication signature.

Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a switch coupled between an input terminal intended to receive a first voltage and an output terminal coupled to a decoupling capacitor and intended to also be coupled to a load. A comparison stage is configured to compare the first voltage and a second voltage that is present at the output terminal. A first adjustment stage is configured to limit a positive inrush current flowing between the input terminal and the output terminal and a second adjustment stage is configured to limit a negative inrush current flowing between the output terminal and the input terminal. A control circuit is configured to activate either the first adjustment stage or the second adjustment stage as a function of a result of the comparison.

Abstract: The integrated circuit includes a first node intended to be biased at a first voltage, a second node intended to be biased at a second voltage and having a non-negligible capacitive coupling with the first node. A power supply management device comprises a voltage booster configured to boost a power supply voltage and comprising boost stages configured to generate intermediate voltages on intermediate nodes. A compatibility detection circuit is configured to detect compatibility between the second voltage and one of the intermediate voltages, and, if the second voltage is compatible with an intermediate voltage, to couple the at least one second node to the compatible intermediate node.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for booting a processing device, the method including: generating, by a monotonic counter and during a first boot phase, a first count value; transmitting, by the monotonic counter, the first count value to an access control circuit of a memory; reading, on the basis of the first count value, first data stored in the memory; and generating, by the monotonic counter and during a second boot phase, a second count value greater than the first count value. The access control circuit of the memory is configured so that the reading of the first data is not authorized on the basis of the second count value.

Abstract: Method for detecting the linear extraction of information in a processor using an instruction pointer. The method includes monitoring the values of the instruction pointer, determining a number of consecutive increments incrementing the values of the instruction pointer by a constant amount, and generating a detection signal if the number is greater than or equal to a detection threshold.
