摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for operating a control device (2), especially for controlling or adjusting a function of a motor vehicle. The control device (2) comprises a programmable memory device (1). Control or adjustment occurs by executing a computer program (PO) which is at least partially stored in the memory device (1) and by using data (DO) which is at least partially stored in the memory device (1). If a modification occurs in the computer program (PO) stored in the memory device (1) or if the data stored in the memory device (1) is modified, said modified computer program (PI) can only be executed and/or the modified data stored in the storage device (1) can only be used if the modified computer program (PI) and/or modified data is/are successfully verified in order to offer as efficient protection as possible against manipulation of the contents of the memory device (1) by an unauthorised person. |
