Definitions

  • the invention lies in the field of integrated circuit connectors, of those type arranged on a memory card (smart card).
  • the invention more particularly relates to a connection blade of an integrated circuit connector.
  • the invention also relates to an integrated circuit connector for insertion into a memory card reader terminal.
  • Such a terminal may be a payment terminal, an identification terminal. More generally, the invention relates to any type of terminal that may include an integrated circuit reader.
  • the memory card reading terminals include, in addition to a memory card reader, a number of components such as a keyboard, a screen, one or more processors, memory, a power source. For several years, memory card reading terminals have seen their functions be multiplied. This is especially true for payment terminals. In addition to the payment function, the terminals include network communication functions, contactless memory card detection functions (contactless cards), coupon management functions (for example loyalty coupons), and so on.
  • the memory card reading terminals must also be resistant to various attacks or fraud attempts they are frequently subject to.
  • international standards have been enacted.
  • PCI PED Payment Card Industry - Pin Entry Device
  • the integrated circuit reader in fact, remains a weak link of the integrated circuit reading terminal. This is because the integrated circuit reader includes an insertion slot of the integrated circuit, this slot making the inside of the terminal accessible from the outside. More In particular, attackers seek to gain access to the integrated circuit connector.
  • the integrated circuit connector is the portion of the integrated circuit reader that contacts the chip or microprocessor embedded on the integrated circuit.
  • This integrated circuit reader comprises an integrated circuit reader body 10, comprising an insertion slot of an integrated circuit 11.
  • the integrated circuit connector is integrated directly into the integrated circuit reader. It includes pins 12 of connection to the printed circuit board (PCB) 13 (partial view).
  • the PCB 13 also includes electronic components 14. To protect the memory card reader 10, it is covered with a complete protection 15, as well as a frontal protection 15b.
  • This fraud consists in introducing a partially insulated metal blade LM, under the integrated circuit connector, at the connecting blades (a connecting blade is a metal strip comprising a connecting portion 22 which comes into contact with the motherboard of the integrated circuit reader, a contact zone 21 which comes into contact with the chip of the integrated circuit, and a connecting portion 23 connecting the contact zone 21 and the connecting portion 22).
  • a connecting blade is a metal strip comprising a connecting portion 22 which comes into contact with the motherboard of the integrated circuit reader, a contact zone 21 which comes into contact with the chip of the integrated circuit, and a connecting portion 23 connecting the contact zone 21 and the connecting portion 22.
  • the proposed technique does not have these disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the proposed technique relates more particularly to a connection blade of an integrated circuit connector, comprising a contact zone for reading an integrated circuit, characterized in that said connection blade comprises at least one electrically isolated zone.
  • connection blade comprises an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface being intended to be oriented towards an integrated circuit, said lower surface being intended to be oriented towards a printed circuit to which said connecting blade is connected said at least one electrically isolated area being located at least partly at said lower surface.
  • said contact zone has a curved shape adapted to come into contact with an integrated circuit and in that said connection blade comprises a first electrically isolated zone located on said lower surface, at least partly at the level of said contact area.
  • said connecting blade further comprises a connection portion intended to be connected to a printed circuit, and in that said connecting blade comprises a second electrically insulated zone located at least partly at said connection portion.
  • connection blade further comprises a connecting portion connecting said contact zone and said connecting portion, and in that said connecting blade comprises a third electrically isolated zone located at least partly at the level of said link portion.
  • said electrically insulated zone comprises an electrical insulator belonging to the group comprising: a resin; an insulating varnish; an insulating adhesive.
  • said electrically insulated zone comprises an electrical insulator made of a polyurethane type resin.
  • the polyurethane type resin has the advantage of having a high chemical and thermal resistance.
  • Another type of resin could be used, such as an overmoulded plastic for example.
  • the invention also relates to an integrated circuit connector characterized in that it comprises at least one connecting blade as described above.
  • said connector comprises a parallelepiped-shaped base within which said at least one connecting blade is positioned.
  • the step of applying a coating comprises a step of bonding an insulating adhesive to said at least one surface lower of said connection blade, at a contact zone for reading an integrated circuit.
  • a coating comprises a step of bonding an insulating adhesive to said at least one surface lower of said connection blade, at a contact zone for reading an integrated circuit.
  • the application of a coating comprises a step of depositing a drop of resin on said at least one lower surface of said connection blade, at a contact zone for reading a integrated circuit.
  • the use of a drop at a time requires at least partly implementation by gravity (i.e gravity drops the drop on the support).
  • Another method could be the implementation of an overmoulding (high or low pressure).
  • the general principle of the present technique is to isolate one or more areas of the connector blades of an integrated circuit connector so that they can not be spied on by any device having a wire and seeking at reach the connection blades at the zones that are accessible from outside the connector.
  • the light gray areas represent the metal part of the connecting blades 40 of the integrated circuit connector while the dark gray areas represent the parts insulated by an insulator.
  • This insulation can be, optionally, a resin (local drop), an insulating varnish or an adhesive.
  • This insulation is an effective defense, especially against attacks. Previously described Indeed, because of the insulator, even if the attacker managed to introduce a wire under a connecting blade, it can not come into contact with it without damaging the blade itself (ie remove the insulation). Out, such action necessarily requires strongly deteriorate the terminal itself. Such a deterioration would be perceived by the terminal which would then be able to trigger adequate protection measures.
  • the figure 3 is an exploded view of a contact zone 21 of an integrated circuit reader connection blade 30.
  • the contact zone 21 has a curved shape comprising two inclined sections 211, 212 with respect to the connecting portion 23 and a curved section 210 between the two inclined sections 211, 212.
  • the connecting blade 30 comprises an upper surface SS and a surface lower SI.
  • the upper surface SS is intended to be oriented towards an integrated circuit; the lower surface SI is intended to be oriented towards a printed circuit board to which the connection blade 30 is connected.
  • the upper surface SS of the connection blade 30 in the curved section 210 is intended to come into contact with a contact area of an integrated circuit for transmitting signals.
  • the connection blade 30 comprises a first electrically insulated zone implemented by an electrical insulator 31 placed on its lower surface SI at the contact zone 21.
  • an electrical insulator 31 placed on its lower surface SI at the contact zone 21.
  • the space below the The contact zone 21, curved in shape, is particularly vulnerable because the space below this contact zone 21 makes it possible to pass a sounder (a metal blade or an electric cable) coming into contact with the lower surface of the Connection blade 30.
  • the sonar can not come into contact with the metal part of the connection blade 30.
  • the sensitive signals transmitted by this connecting blade are thus protected.
  • the use of a drop of resin as an insulator has the additional advantage of filling the gap between the blade and the plastic, which, in addition to the insulation, avoids being able to pass an object under the contact.
  • the figure 4 illustrates a connecting blade 40 comprising a contact zone 21, a connecting portion 22 and a connecting portion 23 connecting the contact zone 21 and the connecting portion 22.
  • the connecting portion 22 comprises a section inclined relative to the connecting portion 23 and a connecting section 221.
  • the connecting section 221 is substantially parallel to the connecting portion 23 and has a height different from that of the connecting portion 23.
  • the connecting portion 23 comprises, at its end close to the connecting portion, a fixing orifice 231. This fixing hole 231 makes it possible to fix the connecting blade in a base of an integrated circuit connector.
  • connection blade 40 also includes an upper surface SS and a lower surface SI.
  • the upper surface SS is intended to be oriented towards a chip of an integrated circuit; the lower surface SI is intended to be oriented towards a printed circuit board to which the connecting blade 40 is connected (for example a motherboard of a terminal).
  • the connection blade 40 comprises, in this illustration, a first electrically isolated zone implemented by an electrical insulator 31 placed on its lower surface SI at the contact zone.
  • the connecting portion 22 does not include any electrically isolated area.
  • a second electrically insulated zone at the connection portion 22.
  • electrical insulators on the upper surface SI and / or the upper surface SS at level of the inclined section 222 of the connecting portion 22.
  • the upper surface SS and / or the lower surface SI in the connecting portion 23 can also be electrically insulated by an insulator.
  • connection blade 40 comprises a third electrically isolated zone. More specifically, the lower surface in the connecting section 23 of each connecting blade 40 is electrically insulated by an electrical insulator 51. Indeed, when the assembled connecting blades are mounted in an integrated circuit connector, the connecting portion 23 is in a plane having a height greater than that of the connection section 221 welded to a printed circuit. There is thus a space (possibly empty) between the connecting portion 23 and the printed circuit on which the connector is soldered. A fraudster could thus try to insert, in this space above the connecting portion 23, a sounder coming into contact with the lower surface of the metal portion of the connection blade 40. This attempt would be doomed to failure . Indeed, thanks to this electrical insulator 51, the sonar can not come into contact with the metal portion of the connecting blade 40 in the connecting portion 23. The sensitive signals transmitted by the connecting blade 40 are thus protected.
  • each connecting blade 40 two zones 232, 233 at both ends of the connecting portion 23 are not electrically insulated.
  • the zone 232 is close to the contact zone 21.
  • the zone 231 is close to the connecting portion 21. Indeed, when the assembled blades are mounted in an integrated circuit connector, the zones 232 are supported by a portion of a base of an integrated circuit connector: these areas are not accessible.
  • the zones 233 comprising the fixing holes 231 cooperate with the base of the connector on the one hand and are welded to the motherboard on the other hand. Thus, the zones 232 and 233 do not need to be protected.
  • the electrical insulator can be placed only on the connection blade (s) which transmits (tent) sensitive signals.
  • the connection blade for the power supply does not transmit any sensitive signal. It does not require insulation protection. The cost of manufacturing connection blades can thus be reduced.
  • the figure 6 is an exploded view of a contact area of a connection blade according to a specific embodiment of the proposed technique.
  • This contact zone 21 comprises in particular an insulating envelope 60 placed on the lower surface SI level of the contact area.
  • This contact envelope 60 covers not only the lower surface SI in the contact zone 21, and also a portion of the lateral sides CL of the contact zone 21. This coverage of the lateral zones provides greater protection. It avoids lateral contact.
  • the insulating envelope 60 is mounted on the lower surface SI of the contact zone 21 of the connecting blade.
  • the lateral sides CL of the contact zone 21 are partially covered by the insulating envelope 60.
  • This insulating envelope 60 makes it possible to improve the durability and the reliability of the insulating zone. It is also a way of ensuring that even the edges are protected, and thus the total area is insulated. Indeed, it is more difficult to remove this insulating envelope.
  • the lateral sides CL of the contact zone are entirely covered by the insulating envelope 60. Thus, it is no longer possible to establish an electrical connection at the lateral sides CL of the zone of contact.
  • a similar insulating jacket could also be placed in another area of the connection blade to protect the lateral sides and to improve the hardness and reliability of the insulating area.
  • this electrical insulator may be placed after the manufacture of the connecting blade, i.e. subsequent to the shaping and cutting steps.
  • the advantage of placing this insulation at the end of the process is that it allows a flexibility in the realization.
  • the preferred means are an adhesive bonded to a lower surface of the connection blade, at the contact zone, or a small drop of resin deposited under the contact zone (on the lower surface of the connection blade, at the contact zone).
  • the varnish could be more delicate in the case of an application at the end of the process, because no burr surface side "functional contact" is allowed. The cost of such an implementation could therefore be higher.
  • the contact envelope 60 is made of a resin that is UV cured.
  • the contact envelope 60 is made of a resin that is UV cured.
  • only one contact is protected. It is of course possible to protect all contacts of the same group (for example depositing a drop of resin on all the contacts before a connector).
  • Vitralit resin ® 9180 which has the particular advantage of being resistant to high temperatures (and therefore the welding operation of the connector on a printed circuit board, solder can be made by remelting), and whose viscosity (at the time of application of the drop) is also adapted to the manufacturing process.
  • Vitralit resin ® 9180 which has the particular advantage of being resistant to high temperatures (and therefore the welding operation of the connector on a printed circuit board, solder can be made by remelting), and whose viscosity (at the time of application of the drop) is also adapted to the manufacturing process.

  • such a resin has the advantage of having a high chemical resistance, in order to avoid other types of attack (ie chemical for example).
