Summary:A method and apparatus for detecting attacks against a computing device are described. Such attacks may be detected by the device and reported to a requesting entity in a manner that makes it difficult for an attacker to know that the attack has been detected. Several exemplary embodiments comprising different client/server and client/network type systems are presented. L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de détecter des attaques contre un dispositif informatique. Ces attaques peuvent être détectées par le dispositif et rapportées à une entité de requête de sorte qu'il soit difficile pour un attaquant de savoir que l'attaque a été détectée. L'invention concerne plusieurs modes de réalisation exemplaires comprenant différents systèmes de type client/serveur et client/réseau.
