A solid-state imaging device adapted to encrypt data is described. The solid-state imaging device may include a sensor die comprising an array of imaging pixels formed on a first side of the sensor die and first wiring layers formed on a second side of the sensor die, wherein at least one of the imaging pixels is configured to generate specific signals; a logic die comprising second wiring layers formed on a first side of the logic die; and an encryption processor on the logic die configured to generate encrypted data using the specific signals. The first side of the logic die may be mounted adjacent to the second side of the sensor die and the first wiring layers electrically connect to the second wiring layers, wherein the at least one of the imaging pixels, the encryption processor, and a connecting conductor in which the specific signals pass through from the at least one of the imaging pixels to the encryption processor are located interior to the solid-state imaging device.

Solid-state imaging device and information processing method of solid-state imaging device

A memory access control device enabling freer access from a plurality of ports to a plurality of memories and a processing system having the same are provided. From among addresses generated at a read address generation unit and addresses input from an external bus, the address which is supplied to a local memory (LM) is selected in accordance with configuration information supplied by a configuration information storage unit. Addresses correspond to ports. Lower bits thereof instruct the storage region inside the LM, and upper bits instruct the LM to be accessed. The read data to be output to a port is selected from among the read data of a plurality of LMs in accordance with the upper bits of this address.
