Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention relate to secure systems and modules, and more particularly, to systems, devices and methods of generating and applying identification elements uniquely associated with modules or elements. These unique identification elements provide an improved, statistically random source from which keys may be derived. The application of these keys across various architectures result in an improvement in the security of data communicated within a system.
