Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses related to adjustable security levels in processors are described. A processor may have functional units and a register configured to control security operations of the functional units. The register configures the functional units to operate in a first mode of security operations when the register contains a first setting; and the register configures the functional units to operate in a second mode of security operations when the register contains a second setting (e.g., to skip/bypassing a set of security operation circuit for enhanced execution speed).
