Abstract: A system and method for authenticating and enabling an electronic device in an electronic system are disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method to cause an obfuscated non-functional device to transition to a starting functional state using a specified number of cycles are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: an electronic system comprising: a protected electronic device; and an embedded obfuscation unit coupled with the protected electronic device, the embedded obfuscation unit including an obfuscation state machine, the embedded obfuscation unit further including control logic to: determine an initial obfuscation state and a starting functional reset state; determine a number of traversal cycles needed to traverse through states of the obfuscation state machine from the initial obfuscation state to the starting functional reset state; and initiate a state traversal operation to traverse through states of the obfuscation state machine from the initial obfuscation state to the starting functional reset state in the determined number of traversal cycles.
