Wiring lines for the supply of a voltage to feed a drive voltage to an
integrated circuit formed in a semiconductor chip are disposed so as to
cover a main surface of the semiconductor chip, so that, if the wiring
lines are removed for the purpose of analyzing information stored in the
semiconductor chip, the integrated circuit does not operates and it is
impossible to analyze the information. Further, there is provided a
processing detector circuit for detecting that the wiring lines have been
tampered with. When the processing detector circuit detects a change in
the sate of the wiring lines, the integrated circuit is reset. Thus, it
is possible to improve the security of information stored on the card.
