One or more methods and/or systems of utilizing a memory external to an integrated circuit chip are presented. In one embodiment, the system comprises an integrated circuit containing a logic circuitry, a one time programmable memory, a control processor, and a data interface. In one embodiment, a method of storing data into a memory comprises programming one or more bits of a one time programmable memory, generating an identifier from the integrated circuit chip, and using the identifier to store data within the memory.

A mesh grid protection system is provided. The protection system includes a plurality of grid lines forming a mesh grid proximate to operational logic. The protection system also includes tamper-detection logic coupled to the plurality of grid lines and configured to toggle a polarity of a signal on at least one grid line at each clock cycle and to detect attempts to access the operational logic by comparing a reference signal driving a first end of a grid line to a signal at the opposite end of the grid line.

An authorized user may be provided access to a service only when a wireless token assigned to the user is in the proximity of a computing device. A user's credential may be stored on an RFID token and an RFID reader may be implemented within a security boundary on the computing device. Thus, the credential may be passed to the security boundary without passing through the computing device via software messages or applications. The security boundary may be provided, in part, by incorporating the RFID reader onto the same chip as a cryptographic processing component. Once the information is received by the RFID reader it may be encrypted within the chip. As a result, the information may never be presented in the clear outside of the chip. The cryptographic processing component may cryptographically encrypt/sign the credential received from the token.

Systems and methods for securing a credential generated by or stored in an authentication token during an attempt to access a service, application, or resource are provided. A secure processor receives a credential from an authentication token and securely stores the credential. The secure processor then verifies the identity of the individual attempting to use the authentication token and cryptographically verifies the identity of the server being accessed. The credential is only released for transmission to the server if both the identity of the individual and the identity of the server are successfully verified. Alternatively, a secure connection is established between the secure processor and the server being accessed and a secure connection is established between the secure processor and a computing device. The establishment of the secure connections verifies the identity of the server. After the secure connections are established, the identity of the user is verified.

Systems and methods for secure remote biometric authentication are provided. A network-based biometric authentication platform stores biometric templates for individuals which have been securely enrolled with the authentication platform. A plurality of sensor platforms separately establishes secure communications with the biometric authentication platform. The sensor platform can perform a biometric scan of an individual and generate a biometric authentication template. The sensor platform then requests biometric authentication of the individual by the biometric authentication platform via the established secure communications. The biometric authentication platform compares the generated biometric template to one or more of the enrolled biometric templates stored in memory at the biometric authentication platform. The result of the authentication is then communicated to the requesting sensor platform via the established secure communications.

A secure processor such as a TPM generates one-time-passwords used to authenticate a communication device to a service provider. In some embodiments the TPM maintains one-time-password data and performs the one-time-password algorithm within a secure boundary associated with the TPM. In some embodiments the TPM generates one-time-password data structures and associated parent keys and manages the parent keys in the same manner it manages standard TPM keys.

Embodiments of an integrated circuit package security fence are provided. The integrated circuit package includes a substrate, a die, and a security fence coupled to the substrate such that the die is located between the security fence and the substrate. The security fence includes a first signal net having a plurality of bonding wires and a second signal net having a second plurality of bonding wires. The bonding wires of the first signal net and second signal net are arranged in a pattern to overlap the top surface of die. The die may include tamper detection logic to detect attempt to access the die through the security fence.

An online trusted platform module (TPM) in communication with a security module that can be located elsewhere in the network in a server machine. In an embodiment, the online TPM is connected directly to a network interface card (NIC) that is also resident at the client. This allows the online TPM to communicate directly to the network, and therefore to the security module (without having to deal with the TCP/IP stack at the client machine in some circumstances, e.g., the boot process). In an embodiment, the communications channel between the online TPM and the security module is implemented using the transport layer security (TLS) protocol. A secure boot process is performed in advance of security processing. Typical security processing includes receipt, by the online TPM, of one or more commands from an application. The online TPM then proxies out the commands to the security module. After the security module has completed its processing of the commands, results of the processing and any related status information is returned to the online TPM.

Aspects of a method and system for securing a network utilizing IPsec and MACsec protocols are provided. In one or more network nodes, aspects of the invention may enable conversion between Ethernet packets comprising payloads secured utilizing IPsec protocols and Ethernet packets secured utilizing MACsec protocols. For example, IPsec connections may be terminated at an ingress network node and IPsec connections may be regenerated at an egress network node. Packets secured utilizing MACsec protocols may be detected based on an Ethertype. Packets comprising payloads secured utilizing IPsec protocols may be detected based on a protocol field or a next header field. The conversion may be based on a data structure stored by and/or accessible to the network nodes. Aspects of the invention may enable securing data utilizing MACsec protocols when tunneling IPsec secured data through non-IPsec enabled nodes.
