A method of checking the authenticity of a digital electric circuit arrangement is achieved in that a concatenation (6; 8, 9) of at least a few circuit-technical elements (10) of the electric circuit arrangement (1) is formed, which deviates from the normal, intended use of the circuit arrangement (1), in that a digital random value generated by the external device (2) and transferred to the electric circuit arrangement (1) is modified in said circuit arrangement by the concatenated elements (6; 8, 9) and transferred to the external device (2), in that the external device (2) compares the modified value with a check value assigned to the random value transferred to the electric circuit arrangement (1), and in that the authenticity of the electric circuit arrangement (1) is recognized only when the modified value and the check value correspond to each other.
