    摘要: A method and system to provide an effective, scalable and yet low-cost solution for Confidentiality, Integrity and Replay protection for sensitive information stored in a memory and prevent an attacker from observing and/or modifying the state of the system. In one embodiment of the invention, the system has strong hardware protection for its memory contents via XTS-tweak mode of encryption where the tweak is derived based on “Global and Local Counters”. This scheme offers to enable die-area efficient Replay protection for any sized memory by allowing multiple counter levels and facilitates using small counter-sizes to derive the “tweak” used in the XTS encryption without sacrificing cryptographic strength.
