Abstract: A System on Chip includes at least two hardware masters, a security circuit, and a communication infrastructure for communication between the hardware masters and the security circuit, the communication infrastructure being based on a given interface communication protocol. Each hardware master is configured to send a request to the security circuit for execution of the request by the security circuit through the communication infrastructure, each request comprising at least one service identifier identifying a service.

Abstract: Countermeasures against fault injection attacks of a cryptographic integrated circuit, and more specifically laser fault injection attacks are provided. The invention consists in generating sequences of bits belonging to a set of allowed sequences, and storing these sequences on a set of Flip-Flops. Then the sequences stored on the Flip-Flops are checked and, if they do not belong to the allowed sequence, this is the sign that a fault injection attack occurred and caused a bit flip in one of the flip-flops. An alarm signal is then generated.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a memory device including a memory comprising at least one chip, each chip comprising one or more banks for storing a plurality of bits, each bank comprising a set of rows and columns, each row and column comprising a number of bits, the device further comprising a controller configured to generate access commands to the memory, an access command identifying an address corresponding to a given row of the memory and a command operation to be performed on the given row, wherein the device further comprises a protection device. The protection device is configured to transform an address, in response to the receipt of an access command identifying the address, into a transformed address.
