The present invention relates to a device for protecting keys of a chip card, characterized in that: - each key is enciphered with the aid of a diversified key; - a protection entity, corresponding to an entity dependent on each enciphered key, is generated and associated with each enciphered key; - a means of detection installed in the card allows the integrity of the key to be verified, by comparing the protection entity with a verification entity generated from the key of the card, by the means of detection of the card; - a means of blocking allows the blocking of any subsequent calculation on the key in the case where the verification entity is not identical to the protection entity. <IMAGE> |
