Abstract: An embodiment of the invention comprises a card reader for reading data stored on a card. A contact signal is produced whose state is indicative of the presence or absence of electrical contact between the card and the card reader. A high state indicates the presence of electrical contact and a low state indicates the absence of electrical contact. Upon insertion of the card into the card reader, vibrations and other mechanical perturbations of the card cause the state of the contact signal to fluctuate rapidly between high and low states. The state of the contact signal is periodically sampled for a predetermined period of time and the number of samples for which the contact signal was high are counted. If the number of high samples exceeds a threshold then stable electrical contact is deemed to have been established between the card and the card reader and a system reset is performed. In one embodiment, the contact signal is sampled once every millisecond for 64 milliseconds, and a system reset occurs if the number of high samples exceeds 47.

Abstract: A port protection circuit, in particular for protecting a JTAG port, comprises logic gates which are switchable to allow the JTAG port to access scan chains or a Diagnostic Control Unit (DCU). The gating arrangement is controlled by a protection circuit that requires a private key to be input through the JTAG port to "unlock" a circuit so that the gating components allow connection between the JTAG port and scan chains or the DCU.
