Abstract
A boot process for a computing device, such as integrated circuit, includes security features that are inaccessible during certain operation modes. An image including permission to access those security features is received during the boot process and may be verified using one or more keys. In operation, access to the security features is permitted during the operation modes after the image is verified. Such an approach enables a boot process to permit access to certain features after receipt and verification of different images.
