Abstract

A method includes receiving, by a first microprocessor, a request of modification of a content of a first memory of the first microprocessor, the first memory being accessible only by the first microprocessor. The method includes accessing, by the first microprocessor, first data associated with the request and a signature generated from the first data with an asymmetric cipher algorithm. The first data and the signature are available in a second memory of a second microprocessor, and the first data is representative of a modification to be applied to the content of the first memory. The modification is representative of a modification of a set of services exposed by the first microprocessor. The method includes verifying, by the first microprocessor, authenticity of the first data based on the signature; and modifying the content of the first memory according to the first data, the modifying being conditioned by the verifying.
