  • Electronic component and utilization of a guard structure contained therein
    Patent number: 6714392
    Abstract: An electronic component is described and has a dielectric layer which is constructed on a substrate, conductive surfaces that are constructed on the dielectric layer, and an electrically conductive guard structure. The guard structure is disposed in a plane above the conductive surfaces such that the conductive surfaces are not completely covered by the guard structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Smart card
    Publication number: 20030138103
    Abstract: A smart card, in particular for pay-TV applications, has a microcontroller and a programmable-function hardware component that, together with the microcontroller, forms a unit. The function programming capability allows the crypto algorithm to be changed continuously, thus making it considerably more difficult, or impossible, to simulate the smart card. In one method, the smart card is used with a decoder for pay-TV transmitters. In this method, a control command is transmitted in the television signal and results in the reprogramming of the programmable-function hardware component.
