Abstract
A method for recognizing anomalies suggesting a manipulation during a secure booting operation of a software-controlled device comprises, inter alia, checking operating parameters of system components necessary for the operation of a microprocessor, checking a flag indicating an improperly concluded booting operation, and signature-based authenticity checking of software to be loaded or software components to be loaded. In the case of multistage booting operations, counter values assigned to a respective stage are compared with associated reference values. In the event of a fault, each check can output a signal on the basis of which, optionally together with further signals, the type of an attack can be recognized, so that specific countermeasures can be initiated.
