  • Integrated circuit for cyber security processing
    Patent number: 9536078
    Abstract: In one aspect, an integrated circuit (IC) includes a secure router configured as a trust anchor, a non-volatile random access memory (RAM) direct memory access (DMA) channel coupled to the secure router, a first DMA coupled to the secure router and configured to receive data with a first classification and a second DMA coupled to the secure router and configured to receive data with a second classification. The IC also includes a secure boot/key controller coupled to the secure router and configured as a trust anchor to boot the IC securely and a processor coupled to the secure router and configured to encrypt data, to store protocols, to store instructions to detect malicious intrusions on the IC and to provide key management.

  • Appliqué providing a secure deployment environment (SDE) for a wireless communications device
    Patent number: 9098696
    Abstract: A security appliqué provides a secure deployment environment (SDE) for a wireless communications device. The Security appliqué isolates the security features, requirements, and information security boundaries such that no hardware modifications are required to a wireless communications device. Rather, a security module thin client is provided to the wireless communications device to provide the Secure Deployment Environment (SDE). The wireless communications device is coupled to the security appliqué via the standard connection interface. Through the standard connection interface, the security appliqué provides the SDE for the wireless communications device without implementing modifications to the wireless communications device.
