Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, security measures for shielding or protecting data or sensitive signals on an integrated circuit (IC). The systems and methods disclosed herein can allow erasing sensitive data when access is not locked, locking out access to sensitive data during normal operations through both indirect and direct means, and shielding sensitive signals from invasive probing or manipulation.
