Confidential data
Electronic components have ever more functions. Their layout resembles a maze. Here, the layout of an integrated circuit similar to that of the decoder card
equipping a SPOT5 receiving station. In particular, the card ensures that the data is confidential. SPOT satellites transmit images to receiving stations scattered
in Africa and around the rest of the world. The data are decoded there using this type of card to ensure that access is reserved to those that ordered the images.
