METHOD TO PROTECT PROGRAM IN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

Provided is a method for protecting a program in an integrated circuit product. The method includes creating one or more opcode blocs to respectively replace one or more original opcodes of said program, said opcode bloc comprising a number of fictional opcodes and the corresponding original opcode, said fictional opcodes being to be executed without taking into account their results and without impacting an expected result of said program, said number and a position of the original opcode in said opcode bloc being randomly determined by a random or pseudo random number generator of said integrated circuit product, and executing said one or more opcode blocs.
