  • Patent number: 8782593
    Abstract: A method includes retrieving a first component information of a secured portion of a package, wherein the first component information is encrypted. The step of retrieving includes decrypting the first component information. A thermal resistance-network (R-network) is generated from the decrypted first component information. A temperature map of the package is generated using the thermal R-network and a second component information of an unsecured portion of the package, wherein the secured portion and the unsecured portion are bonded to each other.
