Zusammenfassung: | An integrated circuit includes a security module with multiple stages arranged in a pipeline, with each stage executing a different operation for accessing stored lifecycle (LC) information. For each portion of LC being accessed, each stage performs N iterations of its corresponding operation, whereby N is an integer greater than two, and crosschecks the results of successive iterations to ensure that the results of the operation are consistent. In addition, the stages of the security module are overlapping, such that different stages can perform different iterations concurrently. These concurrent operations at different stages are organized such that they may also be crosschecked and thereby confirm "offset" results between the stages. |
