Narrative:
While in cruise (FL350) we got an ECAM on some navigation anomaly; immediately followed by a fadec engine 1 fault and then fadec engine 2 fault ECAM with a list of items; shortly after we got a dual engine fail ECAM. However; engine indications were normal. This continued for 1-2 minutes then stop; then after a short while; maybe 5-8 minutes; the same scenario would repeat itself. We then contacted dispatch and maintenance to formulate a plan of action if needed; and started the APU. We agreed that if it occurred again we would deviate. We continued with a normal flight until starting our descent; at which time the above scenario repeated itself almost continuously; with short stop intervals! Emergency cancel button was ineffective. We continued with uneventful approach and landing; all flight controls; avionics and engine instruments were normal.
