Electronic component capable of detecting active attacks

The component (10) has an obtaining unit for obtaining dynamically adjustable reference physical value representing waiting activity of the component. A comparing unit i.e. processor (17), compares a reference physical value with same type value representing real activity of the component. A detecti...

More Information
Summary:The component (10) has an obtaining unit for obtaining dynamically adjustable reference physical value representing waiting activity of the component. A comparing unit i.e. processor (17), compares a reference physical value with same type value representing real activity of the component. A detecting unit detects the attack based on the comparison result. A logic unit (20) generates electric current whose intensity is reference variable intensity, where the logic unit has resistors (R1-R3) that are connected in parallel. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for protecting an electronic component (2) a computer program comprising instructions for executing a method for protecting an electronic component (3) a computer readable medium comprising instructions for executing a method for protecting an electronic component.
