A first instruction to store an entity identification (ID) in a memory of a device may be received. The entity ID may be stored in the memory in response to receiving the first instruction. Furthermore, a second instruction to store a value based on a key in the memory of the device may be received. A determination may be made as to whether the value based on the key that is to be stored in the memory corresponds to the entity ID that is stored in the memory. The value based on the key may be stored in the memory of the device when the value based on the key corresponds to the entity ID.

Secure data provisioning

A first entity may provide a request to transmit data from the first entity to a second entity. The first entity may receive a session key from the second entity in response to the request where the session key is encrypted by a second key that is based on a combination of a public key and a location associated with the second entity. A location associated with the first entity may be identified. Furthermore, a first key may be generated based on a combination of the location associated with the first entity and a private key that corresponds to the public key. The first key may decrypt data encrypted by the second key when the location associated with the first entity corresponds to the location associated with the second entity.

Location aware cryptography

Encrypted data transmitted from a second entity to a first entity may be received. The encrypted data may be encrypted by a location based public key based on a public key and a location associated with the second entity. A location associated with the first entity may be identified. A location based private key may be generated based on a private key that corresponds to the public key and the location associated with the first entity. Furthermore, the encrypted data may be decrypted with the location based private key when the location associated with the first entity matches the location associated with the second entity.

A computing device receives a feature name or key name for an integrated circuit comprising a security manager core and an additional component. At least one of a) the additional component is associated with the key name or b) a feature provided by the additional component is associated with the feature name. The computing device receives a specified number of bits associated with the feature name or the key name, and maps the feature name to a feature address space or the key name to a key interface of the security manager core based at on the specified number of bits. The computing device generates at least one hardware description logic (HDL) module based on the mapping, wherein the at least one HDL module is usable to configure the security manager core for delivery of payloads associated with the feature name or the key name to the additional component.
