Abstract (en)

[origin: US4819204A] A method for controlling memory access to a user area and an initial code area of a main memory of a chip card includes carrying out an internal release procedure with a data comparison of an initial code from the initial code area and a data word from a terminal; firmly coupling addresses of the main memory and of a control memory to each other; marking several storage locations of the main memory as the initial code area with one control bit at a time in the control memory; marking a first code deposited in the associated storage location of the first code area as activated or deactivated with one further control bit at a time in the control memory; generating an initial release signal in a release procedure only if a storage location is addressed by an activated initial code and if agreement with the data word entered by the terminal prevails; and preventing generation of the initial release signal if a deactivated code word is addressed and/or if the respective first code does not agree with the data word, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
