Abstract
Secure storage and retrieval of a unique value associated with a device to/from a memory of a processing system. In at least one embodiment, the device needs to be able to access the unique value across processing system resets, and the device does not have sufficient non-volatile storage to store the unique value itself. Instead, the unique value is stored in the processing system memory in such a way that the stored unique value does not create a unique identifier for the processing system or the device. A pseudo-randomly or randomly generated initialization vector may be used to vary an encrypted data structure used to store the unique value in the memory.
