Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An integrated-circuit device comprises a processor, a hardware key-storage system, and a key bus. The hardware key-storage system comprises a non-volatile key storage memory, which includes a key register, for storing a cryptographic key, and an address register, for storing a destination memory address for the cryptographic key. The hardware key-storage system further comprises output logic for sending the cryptographic key over the key bus to the destination memory address, and write-once logic for preventing an address being written to the address register unless the address register is in an erased state.
