  • Publication number: 20230351063
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, and methods for signal encryption in high bandwidth memory. A high bandwidth memory (HBM) may include a mix of secure circuits and non-secure circuits, which are coupled to secure and non-secure registers respectively. Information may be communicated between the secure and non-secure registers along an interface. The information associated with the secure register may be encrypted. When information is written to the secure register, an encryption circuit in the HBM may first decrypt the information before it is written to the secure register. When information is read from the secure register, it may first be encrypted by the encryption circuit before it is provided along the interface.
