Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010018072A1] The subject of the invention is a method for protecting a programmable logic circuit (100, 200) characterized in that the data file or files used for configuring the programmable resources of the circuit are stored in a non-volatile memory (107, 207) after having been encrypted (112), a decryption module internal to the circuit (103, 203) being in charge of decrypting the file or files using a secret key (102, 202) stored in the circuit, the decryption module being protected against attacks aimed at obtaining the key during the decryption operation by deploying at least one counter-measure technique. The subject of the invention is also a programmable logic circuit of FPGA type protected against attacks by observation and/or injection of faults during the decryption operation using the method according to one of the preceding claims.
