Abstract

Lorsqu'il est commencé, le programme d'application lit le mot de passe utilisé pour protéger une clé et enregistré dans une mémoire EEPROM 77 d'une souris (4). Un microcontrôleur (70) sur une puce lit le mot de passe de la mémoire EEPROM 77 et un processeur central (21) assemble le mot de passe. Quand le résultat de cet assemblage est réussi, le programme d'application continue. Dans le cas contraire, il est arrêté. Cette mémoire EEPROM 77 peut enregistrer une pluralité de mots de passe tels que le numéro d'identification de la souris (par exemple son numéro de série, un numéro apposé par le vendeur, etc.), ainsi que le mot de passe de l'application elle-même.
