Abstract

A fraud-preventive device for a memory card comprising an EPROM type or similar non-volatile memory designed to receive confidential authorization data as well as the results, wrong or otherwise, of tests on the authorization data, comprises a single simulation cell designed to record the non-erroneous results, this cell consuming the same current as a memory cell, which has never been programmed, of the memory part designed to record the wrong data.
