Abstract:
A processing or memory device may include a first encryption pipeline to encrypt and decrypt data with a first encryption mode and a second encryption pipeline to encrypt and decrypt data with a second encryption mode, wherein the first encryption pipeline and the second encryption pipeline share a single, shared pipeline for a majority of encryption and decryption operations performed by the first encryption pipeline and by the second encryption pipeline. A controller (and/or other logic) may direct selection of encrypted (or decrypted) data from the first and second encryption pipelines responsive to a region of memory to which a physical address of a memory request is directed. The result of the selection may result in bypassing encryption/decryption or encrypting/decrypting the data according to the first encryption mode or the second encryption mode. More than two encryption modes are envisioned.

Abstract:
Techniques for resilient communication. A data path stores data to be transmitted over a link to a receiving node. An output stage is coupled between the data path and the link. The output stage includes double sampling mechanisms to preserve a copy of data transmitted over the link to the receiving node. Error detection circuitry is coupled with the output stage to detect transient timing errors in the data path or output stage. The error detection circuitry causes the output stage to send the copy of the data transmitted over the link in response to detecting an error.
