Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) chip includes a first memory that stores first information, and a second memory that stores second information that it to be protected from unauthorized access. Communication interface circuitry gives a processor external to the IC chip read access and/or write access to components of the IC chip. Embedded hardware security circuitry selectively provides the processor external to the IC chip with secure access to the second memory. Interconnect circuitry i) selectively grants the processor unsecured access to the first memory via the communication interface circuitry, ii) selectively grants the processor access to the embedded hardware security, and iii) limits access to the second memory.
