20130290617 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING LOSS OF RELIABILITY OF NON-VOLATILE MEMORY - A method for controlling a loss of reliability of a non-volatile memory (NVM) included in an integrated circuit card (ICC) may include determining whether the NVM is reliable at the operating system (OS) side of the ICC, and generating an event associated with the reliability of the NVM at the OS side for an application of the ICC, if the NVM is determined to be unreliable. | 10-31-2013 |
20130332766 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CALCULATING A CLOCK FREQUENCY OF A CLOCK SIGNAL FOR AN IC CARD - A clock frequency of a clock signal is calculated, with the clock signal being received by an IC card from a terminal or an internal clock within the IC card. A first time-stamp is received from the terminal, and a first value of the timer is set. The timer of the IC card is started when the first time-stamp is received. A second time-stamp is received, and a second value of the timer is read when the second time-stamp is received. The frequency is calculated by comparing a difference between the second and the first timer values, and a difference between the second and the first time stamps. | 12-12-2013 |

20080276100 | Virtual Machine or Hardware Processor for Ic-Card Portable Electronic Devices - A virtual machine or hardware processor for an IC-card portable electronic device includes a non-volatile memory unit, a remote decryption unit, and associated objects for storing an executable program in an encrypted format in the non-volatile memory. The IC-card stores a licence key to encrypt and decrypt the executable program through an IC-card interface. The IC-card interface extracts and encrypts the operands of the plain executable program into encrypted operands so as to not limit performance. The remote decryption unit detects if an instruction contains encrypted operands, and queries a decryption to the IC-card interface. The IC-card interface decrypts the encrypted operands and re-encrypts the just decrypted operands into obscured operands through a dynamic obscuration key. | 11-06-2008 |
20090253460 | INTEGRATED CIRCUIT BOARD WITH WIRELESS CIRCUITRY - An IC Card comprises a first device, including a first processor and a first memory unit, to communicate with a handset, and a second device. The second device includes a second processor and a second memory unit, to communicate via a wireless communication with an electronic apparatus external to the handset, the second device providing predetermined services. Each predetermined service is programmed to receive a wireless message from a respective electronic apparatus, to execute a predetermined elaboration, and to return a result to the respective electronic apparatus. The second memory unit stores a plurality of additional programs for executing additional elaborations, each program being associated to one of the predetermined services. The second device has a run-time environment for executing the additional programs when the corresponding predetermined services receives the wireless message. | 10-08-2009 |
20100090000 | COMMUNICATION METHOD BETWEEN A HANDSET DEVICE AND IC CARDS - A communication method is between a handset device having a slot hosting a first IC card, and a second IC card. The method uses a plurality of commands based on a handset device-IC card interface and intended to drive a communication between the first IC card and the handset device. The method may include providing a second device, including a slot for hosting the second IC card, providing the first IC card and the second IC card with a wireless personal interface supporting a wireless communication, and inserting the second IC card inside the slot. A communication between the handset device and the second IC card is driven by forwarding a command received by the first IC card on the handset device/IC card interface to the wireless personal interface. | 04-15-2010 |
20110011928 | METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING A WIRELESS PERSONAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL FOR AN IC CARD - A method is for implementing a wireless personal communication protocol between an integrated circuit (IC) card and a reader device. The IC card is hosted in and in communication with a handset through a corresponding handset-IC card communication protocol.

20130007365 | METHOD FOR PROTECTING A SOLID STATE MEMORY - The approach is for protecting a solid state memory including a microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the requests for access to the physical blocks of the memory and transfers one or more requested files from a requesting device only subsequently to a comparison of a predetermined sequence of requests for access to the physical blocks. The predetermined sequence of requests for access to physical blocks corresponds to a predetermined sequence of requests for access to file(s) of the memory that can be selected by the device. If the sequence of requests for access does not occur, the microprocessor does not transfer the data requested or transfers them in a non readable format, for example in cryptographic form. | 01-03-2013 |
