A method of storing a counter in at least two non-volatile memory pages, including: a step of initializing a page with an initial value and then, on each update of the counter value, a step of storing an update value and an opcode associated with this value, selected from a set of opcodes, the current value of the counter being given by application of the successive update operations to the initial value of the page.

There is described a computer-implemented method of operating a counter, where the method includes performing a counting operation in a bit-wise manner, such as by using Gray code; splitting the counting operation using wear levelling; and performing an error correction scheme with respect to the counting operation using majority voting.
