Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a number of components disposed at a surface of a semiconductor body and an interconnect region connecting the components into a functional circuit. A metallic shield is also produced in the interconnect region. A configurable stage is configurable to operate in a receiving antenna configuration or in a detection configuration during which the integrated circuit is configured to detect a presence of an external electromagnetic radiation representative of an attack by injection of faults.

Abstract: A device is provided for jamming electromagnetic radiation liable to be emitted by at least one portion of an interconnect region located above at least one zone of an integrated electronic circuit produced in and on a semiconductor substrate. The device includes an antenna located above the at least one zone of the circuit and generating circuit coupled to the antenna and configured to generate an electrical signal having at least one pseudo-random property to pass through the antenna.

Abstract: A method and a system for protecting a static digital datum contained in a first element of an electronic circuit, intended to be exploited by a second element of this circuit, in which: on the side of the first element, the static datum is converted into a dynamic data flow by at least one first linear shift feedback register representing a different polynomial according to the value of the static datum; the dynamic flow is transmitted to the second element; and on the side of the second element, the received dynamic flow is decoded by at least one second shift register representing at least one of the polynomials that has been used by the first element.

Abstract: A duration and frequency programmable electronic integrated pulse generator comprises an initialization circuit driven by a reference clock signal and an initialization/comparison signal and producing m initialization values, and a periodic count value coded on n bits. An address decoder module produces write-control bits, while a bits comparison matrix including n.times.m comparison cells each including a RAM and CAM memory cell write-addressable by the write-control bits. Each CAM cell stores a bit CAM.sub.ij of an initialization value and produces a complemented value CAM.sub.ij .sym.BL.sub.i , each RAM memory cell of address i, j produces a masking value M.sub.ij, and each comparison cell produces a value HIT.sub.ij =(CAM.sub.ij .sym.BL.sub.i)+M.sub.ij. All the cells of the same line of rank j are coupled by an OR function and produce, each output S.sub.j, a programmed pulse represented by the equation: ##EQU1## according to a harmonic periodic signal of the periodic count value.
