  • Data processing device
    Publication number: 20050005140
    Abstract: A data processing device having a bus system, encryption devices for encrypting and decrypting information transmitted on the bus system, and at least one key change device for exchanging a key used. The keys used are changed automatically at irregular time intervals, which are preferably defined by a random number with the aid of an automatic state machine.

  • Preventing the unwanted external detection of operations in digital integrated circuits
    Publication number: 20040143747
    Abstract: In a digital circuit comprising an asynchronous circuit, the supply voltage of the asynchronous circuit is varied by means of a random voltage jitter. The random variation of the supply voltage causes a time jitter in the processing of the individual operations within the asynchronous circuit, whereby an artificial synchronizing of individual measurements in side channel attacks is prevented.
