ROOTS OF TRUST IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) BLOCKS IN A SYSTEM ON A CHIP (SOC) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240195635 titled 'ROOTS OF TRUST IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) BLOCKS IN A SYSTEM ON A CHIP (SOC)

The technology described in this patent application involves a system with a host IP block that includes a primary Root of Trust (RoT) IP block coupled to multiple IP blocks. The system is designed to establish secure communication sessions between a computing system and selected IP blocks by authenticating and attesting the computing system using a RoT IP block.

  • The technology includes a host IP block with a primary RoT IP block to establish secure communication sessions.
  • The system can receive requests from a computing system to establish secure communication with specific IP blocks.
  • It authenticates and attests the computing system before establishing the secure communication session.
  • The RoT IP block signs evidence of the authentication with a RoT key for verification.
  • If the computing system trusts the RoT IP block based on the signed evidence, the secure communication session is established.

Potential Applications: - Secure communication systems in IoT devices - Authentication and attestation processes in cloud computing environments - Secure data transfer in networked systems

Problems Solved: - Ensuring secure communication between computing systems and IP blocks - Providing a trusted authentication process for establishing secure sessions - Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data within IP blocks

Benefits: - Enhanced security for communication sessions - Reliable authentication and attestation processes - Protection against unauthorized access to IP blocks

Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Communication System for IoT Devices This technology can be utilized in various industries such as healthcare, finance, and telecommunications to ensure secure communication and data transfer between devices and networks.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system authenticate and attest the computing system before establishing a secure communication session? 2. What are the potential implications of using a RoT IP block in secure communication systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

the technology described herein includes a plurality of intellectual property (ip) blocks; and a host ip block, the host ip block including a primary root of trust (rot) ip block (prib) coupled to the plurality of ip blocks, to receive a request from a computing system to establish a secure communications session with a selected one of a plurality of intellectual property (ip) blocks, authenticate and attest the computing system, sign evidence of the prib with a prib key, send the signed evidence of the prib to the computing system, and establish the secure communications session between the computing system and the selected ip block if the prib is trusted by the computing system based at least in part on the signed evidence of the prib.
