Abstract:
1. A system for securing data to be protected of a piece of equipment comprising: a space; at least one processing device for processing the data to be protected, the processing device(s) being laid out in the space; and a safety module comprising at least one controller connected to at least one memory for sensitive data, the sensitive data giving access to the data to be protected, the safety module being at least partly laid out in the space, wherein at least one supervision sensor laid out in the space, said or each sensor being connected to the controller of the safety module for sending it a signature based on a signal received by the respective sensor, the signature giving a piece of information on the physical condition of the space, the controller being configured to limit access to the data to be protected, in case of a detection of intrusion in into the space on the basis of a comparison of the at least one signature and/or of a value inferred from the at least one signature with at least one reference value and/or at least one reference signature wherein the safety module comprises at least one device for detecting an intrusion in order to detect an intrusion in the safety module, the at least one device for detecting an intrusion being configured to cause destruction and/or deletion of the sensitive data stored in the memory during an intrusion in the safety module, wherein the space, except for the safety module, is not monitored if the equipment is switched off.
