A system is provided where one of a first device or a second device is supplied with power by the other one of the first device or the second device. Supplying may be done via a universal serial bus cable like a universal serial bus Type-C cable.

Communication system

First transistor logic is arranged by a first logic provider in circuit form and provides a minimum of functionality of the semiconductor device employed to bring up the semiconductor device, wherein the minimum of functionality is encrypted using a first encryption key. Second transistor logic is arranged by a second logic provider, different than the first logic provider, in circuit form to include security keys capable to perform cryptographic capabilities using a second encryption key. The second transistor logic further includes functionality that completes the semiconductor device as a chip device and is ready to process secure communication signals.

Root of trust

A system is provided where one of a broadband termination unit or a gateway unit is supplied with power by the other one of the broadband termination unit or the gateway unit. Supplying may be done via a universal serial bus cable like a universal serial bus Type-C cable.
