Abstract :
As compute-intensive products proliferate, there is an ever growing need to provide security features to detect tampering, identify cloned or counterfeit hardware, and deter cybersecurity threats. This paper describes the security features of the third generation 100-core HyperX™ processor which addresses these needs. Programmable security barriers allow the processor to implement a red-black System on Chip solution. The implementation of Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs), encryption/decryption engines, a secure boot controller, and anti-tamper features enable the engineer to realize a secure embedded computing solution in an ultra-low power, many-core, C programmable processor-memory network.
