A secure memory includes a bistable memory cell having a programmed start-up state, and means for flipping the state of the cell in response to a flip signal. The memory may include a clock for generating the flip signal with a period, for example, smaller than the acquisition time of an emission microscope.

Secure non-volatile memory

An embodiment of a device for memorization of a memory bit is provided, comprising a bistable circuit having complementary first and second read/write terminals, wherein the device comprises an initialization input connected to said bistable circuit, said input being designed to go into a first state controlling a pre-load phase of said bistable circuit and following said preload phase, to go into a second state controlling setting up of said memory bit and its complement at said read/write terminals.
