Various embodiments include integrated approaches to detecting attempts to breach system-level or chip-level security using photo-generated currents induced by lasers or other radiation sources. Various embodiments integrate photo-detection circuits with a secure processor or other circuit in such a manner that the response to a security attack is fast enough to prevent loss of secure or private information are described. Various embodiments include circuits capable of providing a permanent record of photocurrent detection.

Detection of laser-based security attacks

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for managing reports. In certain aspects, an apparatus for managing reports including a processing system is disclosed. The processing system is configured to receive a plurality of reports from a plurality of other apparatuses, filter out one or more of the plurality of reports, and forward the remaining plurality of reports to another apparatus, wherein each of the plurality of reports comprises data based on a sensor measurement at the respective one of the plurality of other apparatuses.

Sensor network management

An electronic device comprises an electronic component and an integrated circuit, wherein the integrated circuit is configured to generate a system clock and an external clock having a programmable delay from the system clock, provide the external clock to the electronic component, determine a delay range between system clock and the external clock in which the integrated circuit and the electronic component can communicate, and program the external clock with one of a plurality of predetermined delay values based on the delay range.

Adaptive memory calibration using bins

Systems and method for providing sensors in batteries are provided. In certain aspects of the disclosure, a battery comprises a housing dimensioned to fit within a battery compartment of the communication device, a battery cell configured to supply power to the communication device, one or more sensors within the housing configured to measure a condition external to the battery and to received power from the battery cell, and an interface configured to interface the one or more sensors with a processing system in the communication device.

Sensor in battery

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for communication. In certain aspects, an apparatus for communication includes one or more sensors configured to measure a condition external to the apparatus, a circuit configured to determine when to transmit data based on the measurement to another apparatus, wherein the determination is based on at least one parameter configurable by the another apparatus, and a transmitter configured to transmit the data.

Sensors in communication devices

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for managing other apparatuses. In certain aspects, an apparatus for managing other apparatuses includes a processing system configured to receive one or more reports from the other apparatuses, and to send a message to at least one of the other apparatuses, wherein the message instructs the at least one of the other apparatuses to configure at least one parameter that controls when the at least one of the other apparatus sends a report to the apparatus.
