Abstract
In some examples, a security chip for an electronic device includes a nonvolatile memory to store a collection of encryption keys for encrypting information to produce encrypted information. The security chip includes a discrete secure erase hardware logic and is separate from a collection of device processors of the electronic device. The discrete secure erase hardware logic receives an erase indication indicating a request to erase the encrypted information. In response to the erase indication, the discrete secure erase hardware logic erases the collection of encryption keys in the nonvolatile memory, and activates an output indication to cause activation of an erase indicator at the electronic device.
