Abstract
An integrated circuit comprises a memory device including a memory plane having non-volatile memory cells and being non-observable in read mode from outside the memory device, a controller, internal to the memory device, configured to detect the memorized content of the memory plane, and when the memorized content contains locking content, automatically lock any access to the memory plane from outside the memory device, the integrated circuit then being in a locked status, and authorize delivery outside the memory device of at least one sensitive datum stored in the memory plane.
