Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing storage of one or more keys received by a chip, and more particularly to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing storage of one or more keys in a storage of a first device that is external to the chip. An integrated circuit can include a circuit configured to receive at least one of a key or a request to retrieve the key and at least one of store the key in a storage of a device when the key is received or retrieve the key from the storage of the device when the request to retrieve the key is received. The first device can be external to the integrated circuit. The circuit can further be configured to control access to the key stored in the storage of the device.

Abstract: A semiconductor product being convertible or converted from a customizable configuration into a selectable or selected one of a plurality of different customized configurations, wherein the semiconductor product comprises a customizing unit configured for customizing the semiconductor product into one of the customized configurations selected by a received customizing data structure specifying a selected application of the semiconductor product, and a plurality of functional blocks each configured for providing an assigned functionality and all being deactivated when the semiconductor product is not in one of the customized configurations, wherein the customizing unit is configured for activating only a subgroup of the functional blocks based on the received customizing data structure.

Abstract: A security-monitoring system includes a data-collection module, a security-monitoring module and an attack-detection module. The data-collection module can collect data associated with a data stream. The security-monitoring module monitors a number of activities within a device. The attack-detection module can detect one or more attacks on the device based on the monitored plurality of activities by using one or more trusted processors. The collected data includes one or more security parameters associated with the data stream. The attack-detection module identifies the attacks based on the security parameters and data from the one or more trusted processors.
