    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coprocessor comprising a calculation unit for executing a command, and a securisation device for monitoring the execution of the command and supplying an error signal having an active value as soon as the execution of the command begins and an inactive value at the end of the execution of the command, if no abnormal progress in the execution of the command has been detected. The coprocessor further comprises means for preventing access to at least one unit of the coprocessor, while the error signal is on the active value. Application is provided particularly but not exclusively to the protection of integrated circuits for smart cards against attacks by fault injection.

    Abstract: The method evaluates a constraint of a sequential memory cell able to sample an input data item regulated by a clock signal. The constraint is dependent on the ramp of a first signal and on the ramp of a second signal. The method includes a characterization phase including a first step of determination in which a value of the second ramp is fixed, the value of the first ramp is made to vary so as to determine, a first set of values of the constraint. A second step of determination includes the value of the first ramp being fixed at one of its values taken during the first step of determination, the value of the second ramp is made to vary so as to determine for each value of the second ramp a deviation with respect to the value of the constraint belonging to the first set and corresponding to the fixed value of the first ramp. The method includes a third step of calculation in which the values of the constraint are calculated for all the values of the first ramp and of the second ramp, while adding the various deviations obtained to the values of the first set of values.

    Abstract: A tuner includes an analog block, a digital block, and an analog/digital conversion stage connected therebetween. The analog block includes a first attenuator/controlled-gain amplifier stage connected upstream to a frequency transposition stage. The overall mean power of the entire signal received by the tuner is calculated during a phase of initialization. This overall calculated power is compared in the digital block with a first predetermined reference value corresponding to a maximum power desired at a predetermined location of the analog block. The gain of the first attenuator/amplifier stage is adjusted to minimize the deviation between the overall calculated power and the reference value. In a phase of normal operation, one of the channels of the signal received is selected, with the gain of the first attenuator/amplifier stage being fixed.

    Abstract: A process of programming or reprogramming a reprogrammable onboard memory (5) comprises programming or reprogramming the onboard memory of several modules (M0, M1) in parallel through a multiple access bus (6) to which the modules are connected. In the case of blank flash memories, a process downloads code through the multiple access bus (6) and executes the code, eliminating all external constraints (such as frequency, binary throughput). The process is more particularly intended to apply to onboard flash type memories.
