Latest Patents
Among his latest patents is a system and method for licensing and measuring the use of an IP block. This invention includes an integrated circuit with one or more protected circuits and a license control circuit. The license control circuit is designed to request a license from a license issuer, incorporating a seed value for enhanced security. Additionally, it features a cryptographic circuit that verifies the authenticity of the received license based on the seed value. The system imposes a validity limit on the license, ensuring that a new license is requested before the current one expires.
Another significant patent by Torres is a system and method for authenticating IP licensing of hardware modules. This invention involves a license-verification circuit that selectively activates protected circuits within a device. The circuit deduces a device key from an identifier associated with the device and receives a first license. It decrypts this license using the device key to extract a verification code, which activates the protected circuit by loading an activation code based on the verification.
