A secure system includes a data port, a network on chip (NoC) module, a processor communicatively coupled to the NoC module, a communication interface operatively coupled to the processor and to the data port, an electronic field-programmable gate array (eFPGA) configuration module operatively coupled to the NoC module, and a clock operatively coupled to the NoC module. In a first modality, the communication interface is at least partially disabled. In a second modality, the communication interface is at least partially disabled, boundary scan operations are disabled, a RESET signal is held in a constant state, and/or redacted code is rendered inoperable. In a third modality, the communication interface is at least partially enabled to send and receive commands and data via the data port, the boundary scan operations are enabled, the RESET signal is not held in the constant state, and/or the redacted code is operable.

Secure semiconductor and system design

A system that includes a plurality of encapsulation blocks having a plurality of digital signal processing (DSP) blocks provided with preconfigured logic functions and a plurality of pacing control networks operatively connected with the plurality of DSP blocks. The system also includes a streaming cross bar operatively connected with each encapsulation block of the plurality of encapsulation blocks. Each encapsulation block of the plurality of encapsulation blocks includes a DSP block of the plurality of DSP blocks and a pacing control network of the plurality of the pacing control networks. Each DSP block of the plurality of DSP blocks is independently and separately connected with the streaming cross bar via the plurality of pacing control networks.

DSP eco system scalable with obfuscation

A system and method for cryptographic verification of entity/vehicle authenticity, comprising generating a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)&#x2014;Key for an individual platform/vehicle; applying the VIN&#x2014;Key to components of the platform/vehicle; receiving input for the platform/vehicle; validating the authenticity of the input and/or the platform/vehicle; performing the operation of the input if it was validated; terminating the operation if it was not validated; logging the operation; and decommissioning the platform/vehicle at the end of life.

System and method for cryptographic verification of vehicle authenticity

A system for securely customizing a computing environment based on cryptographic protections includes providing a key device; bringing the key device proximate to a computing environment (); beginning an authentication protocol when the user approaches the environment with the device; validating user to the key device (); comparing certificates (); unlocking/regenerating a device split key (); if authentication of certificates is not valid, log & return (); if it is valid, a full key is generated on the computing environment in volatile memory, and the full key unlocks personal settings on the computing environment (). Using the computing environment with the personal settings (); disconnecting (); and logging activity (). The device can be a smart phone. Bringing the key proximate to a computing environment () can initiate Bluetooth or other near field communications. Initial steps can include enrolling the key (). The environment can be a vehicle.

System and method for cryptographic protections of customized computing environment

A transceiver system allows for simultaneous operation of transmit and receive modes, even in shared path configurations, by temporarily making the receiver insensitive to transmitter energy and by modifying standard readout technology to rapidly dissipate any transmitter energy deposited onto the receiver's detector elements. The entirely electronic technique alerts the receiver to the imminent emission of each transmitter pulse. This alert opens a gate voltage switch in the readout and prevents energy that is present on the detector from being passed to the readout integrator. As soon as the transmitter pulse has passed and any charges it generated on the detector have been dissipated, the switch is automatically closed and the receiver is again fully active. Since this on/off switching happens automatically and rapidly it can operate independently from, and have very little impact on the receiver. Furthermore, it levies absolutely no limitations whatsoever on the operation of the transmitter.
