Abstract: Presented are software intellectual property (IP) protection systems and methods that prevent potential attackers as well as customers from having access to plain text versions of both library source code and binary code. Potential attackers are prevented from reusing the software on other platforms. The protection mechanism does not impact the functionality or the performance of the library itself and does not interfere with existing software update mechanisms or application developer tools, such as Joint Test Action Group (JTAG).

Abstract: A device includes a carrier and an integrated circuit chip having a first side supported by the carrier and a second side having contacts. The carrier has multiple carrier contacts supported by the carrier and separated from the integrated circuit chip. Multiple leads are coupled between the contacts on the integrated circuit chip and the multiple carrier contacts. A resin encapsulates the integrated circuit chip leaving the multiple carrier contacts at least partially uncovered for attaching to a card or board.

Abstract: An intelligent portable object has a dual interface and is equipped with a chip and is suitable for communicating with at least one electronic data transmission terminal via a contact interface according to standard ISO7816.3 and likewise without contact via a contactless interface and according to another contactless standard; a transition causing a variation of at least one status for the object. At least one information step, for example in real time, of the chip restituting variations in status, with at least a logical phase forming a supply controller, which ensure a configuration/information allowing a fully simultaneous functioning of applications resorting to the contact and/or contactless interface.

Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, an apparatus that includes a verification module to provide information used to identify a user of the apparatus, a memory for storing information used for securing communications transmitted to a remote device, a processing unit for generating a secured communication based on the stored information, and an interface to communicate with a peripheral interface of a host device. The host device configured to transmit the secured communication to the remote device without accessing content of the secured communication.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for creating immunity to the variations in resources of a portable object comprising a processor block, and at least two communication and/or supply interfaces with and/or without contact. Said method comprises at least one step for controlling the availability state of at least one resource on one of the interfaces, and a resource selection step. The inventive method is characterised in that it comprises the following steps according to which an interruption signal is generated towards the processor block during a variation in the availability of the resource, and the processor treats the interruption signal in order to enable a selection of resources. The invention also relates to the associated portable object.

Abstract: The invention relates to the operational maintenance of an intelligent portable object (1) which is provided with a processing unit (6) having at least two communication and/or feed interfaces either with or without contacts. The method comprises a reinitialization step (MaZ) for the processing unit (6). The method is characterized in that it comprises at least one delay and/or reinitialization simulation step if a communication or application is in the process of being processed by the processing unit. The invention also relates to an associated device.
