The method involves determining whether attack is detected, and realizing a protection function e.g. killcard function, when the attack is detected. A decoy function is realized, when the attack is not detected, where the decoy function simulates the protective function by being perceptible from the exterior of a microcircuit in a manner identical to the protection function. The electrical consumption during the decoy function is identical to that of the protection function. An independent claim is also included for a device for protecting a microcircuit against attack. |
