A system for secure data protection and encryption for computing devices. The present invention includes a fast encryption technique for quickly ensuring that the correct binding parameters are used for an encrypted data file. The encrypted file is used in two ways. Because unsecure data could pass through a peripheral device to gain access to a secure computing environment, a dongle housing encryption and decryption subsystems is placed in between the unsecure sources and the peripheral that can encrypt and decrypt data intended for the secure computing environment. The firmware of the computing device can be updated by dividing the update file into encrypted segments that are verified on the device and placed into non-volatile memory. When all parts have been received, decrypted, and written into memory, the device reboots using the updated firmware.

Secure data protection and encryption techniques for computing devices and information storage

A system for performing coincident boot of computing devices having non-volatile memory and secure and non-secure partitions on the same System on Chip (SoC) or on a similarly capable computing device with secure division and separation of sensitive memory resources, secure protection of intellectual property during boot and post-boot, and support for secure interoperations between secure and non-secure states. The system packages components of the boot loader into a single signed and encrypted package. That package is loaded into the non-secure memory where it is verified before being extracted to the secure partition.
